    Thank you for replying :) My bmr is 1490 so do you think I should stick to that or add a few more to cover breastfeeding?

    Just wondering if anyone knew what the minimum amount of calories you should have when bf? I've looked at a few websites & the answers seem to range from 1400 to 2400! If anyone could narrow that down I'd be super grateful!

    They do them in the bigger stores. Or if you don't have a superstore near you then you can order them online & get it delivered to your local store for free. I was lucky & had loads of George maternity clothes as Christmas presents :)

    I was just wondering whether you thought it was harder or easier to lose weight when BF? I thought it was suppose to be easier but my HV said otherwise. I lost 1.6st after giving birth but I still have a stone left. Two weeks later I haven't lost a thing despite being good!

    It depends on your pre-pregnancy weight. If you were underweight then you should put on more, if your overweight you should put on less. The general rule is 1.5st - 2.5st. There's quite a few calculators on here that work it out for you...

    Any consultants out there?

    I wonder if they discourage Consultants from going on forums like this as people give non SW member syn values etc so they lose out on business. Hope you got the job :)

    That's great! So many doctors would prescribe anti-d's then send you on your way. My doctor also prescribed me sertraline but spent ages talking to me about additional things I should try & really tried to help. I have a friend with fibromyalgia and it took years for her to get diagnosed. I...

    Thanks Shirleen, I think I will complain. They've done a few annoying things. Like they didn't give me a 16 week appt, they lost my maternity notes and they forgot my 12 week appt until I rang and chased it up. I'm a bit worried & stressed about it as it is and I didn't need her being mean :( x
