Hi Everyone,

Well, haven't been on here in ages. Finally gave birth to Max James on 11th March 2004, 13 DAYS LATE!!! He weighed 9lb 4oz and is, if we say so ourselves, absolutely gorgeous, with auburn hair!

I was taken in to be induced on 9th March, but it didn't work and 30 hours later I was ...

Hi All,

Don't know if anyone's noticed I've not been about but I'm back anyway - couldn't get into the site at work and home computer has been a nightmare. Finishing work this Friday and it can't come soon enough as you;ll all know! Herbie is due on the 27th Feb and all, touch wood, is going well ...

I'm going to stick my oar in here now!<br><br>As you will see from the other postings, there is so much to IVF and nothing is clear cut. There never comes a day for people I dont think, where they wake up and say "right, time to move on, let's get a cat instead". Its something that people learn to ...

Tracey<br><br>You've made me go all goose-bumpy and I've started to cry (slightly hormonal at the mo!). This is the most fantastic news. Some people are just meant to be mummy's and you my love most definitely are.<br><br>You both must be very nervous and apprehensive at the moment which is so ...

Hi Rachael<br><br>Try not to panic!<br><br>Im sure its nothing more than the stretching of the uterus - there's so much going on in there at the moment. I, and loads of others on this site had similar worries about these pains but they will go. Like Dagny said, your scan showed all was well, so try ...

Jackie<br><br>Just wanted to add to the other postings, that I hope everything is ok and the reason for your absence is because you've morning sickness and can't move from the loo!<br><br>Please let us know how you are when you have a moment to spare.<br><br>With love<br><br>Rachel<br>x

Hi Julie<br><br>Well, I didn't see R & J - whilst i think its very admirable that they're donating their frozen embies, I don't agree with the contact thing. I think its like adopting - you give up your right to the child and let the parents (as in the ones who adopted, as they, afterall, are the ...

Becky, that's fab. I know Ashtead hospital fairly well, and they're pretty good, but what a nightmare for you to have to go through that awful wait to get the news you wanted. I had my first scan at 8 weeks, and the sac was really high up and took about 5 minutes for the sonographer to find and it ...

Hi<br><br>I wanted to bring this post to the top, as can't see that we've heard from you yet.<br><br>Hope all's well.<br><br>Love<br><br>Rachel<br>x

Excellent news Tracy<br><br>Your question about sex - well, in my house there hasn[t been any at all since I found out I was pregnant! Poor DH keeps reading that round about now (im 27 weeks) i should be feeling randy as hell - nope! Can't think of anything more inconvenient at the moment! To start ...

Well, at 26 weeks and 5 days, i'm now up to 10.5 sheets and have put 1 stone on! That's progress for you!<br><br>Again, DH thinks Im potty and said he worries what Herbie will make of having a mad mum!<br><br>How are you all doing - time for another measuring session I think!<br><br>Love<br><br ...

Bless, Baby Wibbs sucking his/her thumb - so cute!<br><br>Excellent news and a huge relief for you and DH. <br><br>Enjoy your pregnancy!<br><br><br>Love<br><br>Rachel<br>x

Emma<br><br>The best christmas pressies in the world ever! Your babies are fantastic weights and its fab that you haven't put tonnes of weight on - you;ll be a yummy mummy the moment they're born!<br><br>Do you know the sexes? Have you chosen names etc? Not even two weeks! Im so excited for you!<br ...

Has anyone else started looking for something nice to wear for Christmas yet and found that there is precisely bugger all!<br><br>For the last 5 years, because we've been so miserable and low at Christmas, no bugger has dared to invite us anywhere for fear of us putting a dampner on it! This year ...

Hi girls<br><br>Thanks for your replies. Saw the midwife today for my 6 month check (!) and heard Herbie's little heart. I'm carrying really low (no sign of a bump above my belly button, its literally all below) and I asked her if that was normal and she said the baby is still in breach which is why ...
