That looks like a nice little pram for the car will look out. Midwife cane today she said i could be bleeding more due to being bit more active and just take it easy, i was brave and let her look at my stitches she said the have come open a little bit but no signs of infection, she has agreed...

Same with the pram , realised i can not put the base in myself its too heavy and if the whole prams in we cant take my step daughter out as theres no room. Im looking for a second hand one now just to keep in the car think iv looked at a loola? Seems to fold down nice. What have you gone for...

That does seem alot for a moses basket! Shes only two weeks but we use moses basket every day. We have a crib in our room, i couldn't be bothered carrying the moses basket up and down stairs! I like how i can pop the basket on the floor near the couch if i sleep in the day and i can see her, but...

Aw hes soo cute! I see why people say new borns are easier ha ha ! I have a rule at the min no dummy after 8! I dont mind her having it at all but at night i see to her and she falls asleep and it comes out which wakes her up and this goes on all night! So its for emergencies only until she...

No water with an 11 day old, today is going to be fun!! Good job my mum lives round the corner and isn't effected

A week old so its early days, realy. Looks to be okay theres no fresh blood coming from the cut. I think the pads are irritating me too, i have bought some thin maternity ones but haven't used them for about 15 years a feel very strange and are not comfy ! X

Hi , i had a lovely day , tiered me out tho ha ha x

Im taking paracetamol and diclofenac health visitor said today to replace with ibuprofen when they are finished. As long as i know its normal, hubby keeps saying have the stitches checked but i cant explain its not them its just sore! Plus now i feel quite chapped now (tmi) i think its due to...

How long where you sore for? Its been a week , its my fault today i have driven then ate out (which hurts to sit down) and been shopping as hubby was treating me , i was trying to be brave but i have over done it. But how long will i be like this? I feel like i have been in constant pain all...

Well its my birthday today and my little girl is one week old it really had gone so quick. We have booked to go and register her thought it would make a special birthday , then going for dinner and to do a bit of birthday shopping although shes the best present i could ever wish for. Lets...

Iv no idea what ill be doing, was hoping work will reduce my hours and do two nights a week, but thing is i will have to finish a night when hubby's off so we will never get a day off together , but i have said that we will have to take turns booking a days annual leave off every other week. I...

Its hard isnt it. My sister went full time and after full time child care she got £50 a month which she didn't think was worth it so stayed at home. But £50 a month is quite a lot even now you have extra expenses! Could you have a look at saving the money you would make at work somewhere else...

There is the time thing ha ha , i just see pain when i see it as i spent hours in there before i went in, i was reading a book to which i want to finish but cant face!! I take my hat off to you using the pool i wanted to but was out the question i needed an epi! I have said if there is a number...

I just wanted advice on expressing. Im not exclusively expressing ill be happy if she has one / two feeds a day. I have managed to get 40 mil each time so a feed every two goes. We gave her it last night and she was quite sick off it just wondering if anyone knew if its just because its the...

I cant look at the bath with out thinking pain so still not had one ha ha

Aw soon be here (i know thats annoying to hear) part of the excitement is not knowing when its coming x

Not long for you now! X

Babylove x

Soft cheese, pate and champers just what the dr ordered! X

Aw its a good reminder what people go through for their little ones. I will be reading back on mine its saved on my phone i was typing it as i went along to remember everything. I still keep asking hubby bits tho. Its also good to share that our experiences good or bad and that we are not...

Thank you all. It wasn't quite the water birth in a swim skirt with the lights low i though about ha ha. But shes here now x

Thank you all. We are doing well after the whole birthing ordeal ha ha. Im getting used to what she wants and we had a good night last night which I'm happy with as i feel im doing my mummy job well. Been telling hubby to sleep when he gets up around 6.30/7.30 and leaves me to sleep for a few...

Few pics x

Hi yeah we are , i love it. Still a bit sore tho ha ha but Brookes good, her little war wounds from forceps are going down just posted my story x

Hi all, here it is, bit long on the arrival of Brooke , 7lb11 born at 12 on 9/9/14 Waters went around 2am 8th september just made it to the bathroom. Called the ward and they said come in when your ready to monitor baby. I straightened my hair got dressed ordered a taxi and went. Arrived and...

Baby Brooke born yesterday 7.11 will update birth story when i can. It was a bit traumatic forceps ha ha!! But worth it !

Yeah baby Brooke born yesterday 7lbs 11 at 12 dinner Stayed in last night hopefully home today will post my birth story when i get chance , my discreet water birth turned into a forceps delivery selling tickets on the door!!

Thanks i really want to stay at home as long as i can ha ha , there getting more intense now slightly longer, not sure how far apart i keep walking round and forget to set the timer ha ha ! X

Hi i dont want to go in any sooner then i have to but not sure when to call the labour ward. My waters broke at 2 am went in and was checked then sent home. For the last four hours i presume they are contractions lasting around 15-20 seconds around 8 minutes apart, how long and close together...

Waters have broke! Yeah! Just getting myself ready and they have asked me to go in, not in any pain yet but thats what they said im not rushing just getting ready to go ! X

Thanks I will keep my bag packed as it is then just incase, although the whole process sounds horrendous :-( so i may as well have an epidural cant be any worse then being induced. Although i have a week to go so who knows x

Aw swimming really does wipe him out! Does anyone know if i can still use the pool if i am induced ? Midwife is booking a date in just incase prob for the 15th

Midwife today , am two days over. She going to book in an induction date just incase prob on 15th so if she doesnt make an appearance she mite come on my birthday 16th!!

Well am full of a cold i feel great!! Off to midwifes today see if theres anything i can take, had paracetamol last night and slept till about 3, my bellys hurting today from keep blowing my nose !

Everything's ready for her arrival which prob has made it go slower as iv been ready for ages . I should plan something over the weekend good idea then she will come ha ha! Midwife tomorrow hope she comes tonight lol!

No, no pains just a few shooting pains but could be just down to the huge weight im carrying around! Iv got a sore throat and all bunged up, i must admit i googled it to see if it was a sign but every little niggle can be a sign according to the internet so wont take it to seriously!

What where everyones first signs of labour? Did they start a few days before or did it all happen at once? Iv had a few shooting pains but nothing else ! X

Thanks! Hoping it wont come to it but she will def be here in two weeks! X

Due date today!!

Did you? Was it just once with the pessaries? I read they sometimes have to do it a few times?! I was only going to agree to one one exam and that was to go in the pool as they wont let you unless they know how far gone you are and if i later change my mind about pain relief . I wont be...

I would rather not be prodded and poked for something that isnt guaranteed! They are supposed to tell you most woman go in to labour naturally before 42 weeks although i know it doesn't always happen. I will consider it the week after may be il be 41+ 2. Im torn, an induction in far more...

I havnt had any signs my tummy tightened but only twice !! Just no signs. Yeah she booked me in i will be 40+ 2 i wont be having it tho thats why i want her to come now, it says in my notes im booked in for one but thought they would ask first only read my notes when i was home so don't know...

Feeling sorry for myself post... Shes due on wednesday but just not really had any signs anything is happening , think I'm being impatient but im uncomfortable and huge!! I know labour can take a few days am i mad to want it to start now!

Lets hope things hurry along for you, waters going thats exciting . Keep us updated xx
