Hi Kate I do take it but dont get any more mood swings than before i started them. If i do get stressed a warm bath with relaxing music if eve, deep breathing and EFT if really stressed and a good diet I found that if I dont eat regular meals then I do get upset easy. What you must do is...

Hopefully its worked Poppy was couple weeks old, she is now 11lbs and almost 9wks

I was getting a bit worried that I would end up not being able to lose the baby weight but shouldn't have its come off straight away. I put on 20lbs in the end the last 7 in less than a week but it was fluid as my feet were so swollen. I weighted myself in week and had a few pounds to go but...

Thanks all will take look at photobucket. She's putting on slowly she was 7lbs 12oz on Mon but she's put on more as her little bum getting chubby and her face. Good luck to you all time seems to be passing so quick. I've have started to drive now 2.5 wks cant stand being stuck in and its too...

Hi all How fast the last few days have gone this is the first time pc has been on since last weds. Well Poppy Faith arrived on Thurs 16th at 10.03am by section, weighing 8lbs 8oz. As usual I dont do things by half and she was stuck very low down and they had to use forceps to get her out. I...

I've put on 16lbs but that is in 10 wks since I've know. The scans were fine I've had to have scan every two wks for growth. My Gp has been hugely supportive as I had gone to see her a few wks before and had internal and pelvic check but it wasnt picked up. I had had 3 neg tests. She couldn't...

Hope all goes well. I know only too well what a stress having regular scan causes but at least they are keeping an eye on you. As you know mine was large for dates due to gest diabetes but the last estimate last mon was 7lbs 12oz so will find out thurs how accurate it is. Best of luck Ali
