I am enjoying every second. Even the sleepless nights and the exploding nappies. I can't wait to see how this little person unfolds. more…

I cried for months when i was told, five months into my pregnancy, that my first son was seriously ill and may not survive the birth. May never walk. May never speak. I cried again when he was born and his feet were twisted. And I cried every time I had to do his physiotherapy and manipulate his feet back into the opposite direction. He is seven no more…

Reading that brought a tear to my eye!!

I've got 4 kids in their teens and twenties so it was a trip down memory lane for me so, without wanting to sound corny or patronising ... enjoy it. The going isn't always easy (to say the least) but blink and it's gone.

By the way, our eldest was in special care for 24 hours so I kn more…

I did mean to type 21 and I also meant to proof-read, lol!

I am a size 6.5, so will also be squatting behind said bush. Nobody medical has asked me my shoe size yet. At 34 weeks it's a bit late to be asking such questions in order for them to determine my care! more…

Actually it's 21 years!! He flew off to Tunisia this morning on his first holiday with his girlfriend (bless). But really, it's not rocket science. Women have been doing it for years, and some of them without screaming. Do they still ask you your shoe size? as it apparently is on a par with the size of your pelvis.

Thanks. It would be slightly odd of nature to make us the only mammal who can't give birth naturally without being in pain! 8lb 6oz sounds like a particularly reasonable size! My sister's kids have all been 9lb or over... I won't know what to do with one that's slightly smaller if I get a 6 or 7 pounder. I think I'll feel like I might break him! It more…

Honey, I managed to give birth without screaming. I only had gas and air, and they kept telling me to get mad!! What? I told them I was concentrating. At one point they told me I was crowning and would I like a mirror. Why I asked? Has my mascara run? I kept taking great big gulps of gas and air, and no, not always with contractions. I just more…
