Only just seen this thread but on the 14th March the other half had our little boy. The pregnancy went fine but the actual giving birth part turned problematic and it looked touch and go for a while. Ethan weighed a whopping 8lb 14oz (no idea where he gets that from because neither of us are fatties )

anybody else suffering from colic? my boy has got it and its causing him intense pain throughout the night, tried a few medcines (infacol/colief) to no avail
We did. Have you tried a different milk? We moved our boy onto cow & gate comfort (I think) and the special colic bottles (that come at a premium) along with infacol in his bottle and it really seemed to make a difference. HereBeMonsters said:
Wait, so everyone's on formula then?
In my opinion the Mania about Breast feeding has over stepped the mark, our first was initally breast fed but struggled so we moved on to formula, due to the Reflux issues, I know other mums who have really struggled breast feeding (to the point they are upset/depressed or dreading feeds) and been made to feel as though they are doing wrong for switching to formula.touch wood he seems to be getting better with the new milk, still had a bout of colic during the night, but it was no near as bad as previous nights, hopefully we are heading in the right direction, next battle trying to get the little bugger to sleep in his own bed, as comfy as my sofa is, i would rather sleep in my own bed

Well my wife is worried sheay have miscarried she had a bleed last night,
Not sure who you phone but she should get a scan for peace of mind asap. Most don't miscarry. I bled last yr and was made to wait another 5 days for planned scan, no one really told me I could have gone for an early pregnancy scan (it'd made no difference as I'd lost the baby a couple weeks already by then but 5 days of anxiety was no fun!)My friend bled heavily, was convinced she'd miscarried but went on to have a healthy girl

Cheers people she's rung the out of hours doctors and seems happier it wasn't a miscarriage.
Thats good news How many weeks are you?
Id still get yourselves in for a scan ASAP, if it is something like a haematoma then its useful to know as there a few simple lifestyle adjustment you might have to make.....
Looks like I could be joining this year!
Wasn't expecting it so soon, OH came off depo Christmas and we were told average is a year to 18 months before being fertile.
Pregnancy test this morning was positive, bought one of those fancy clear blue ones aswell which she'll be using tomorrow morning.
Not sure how I feel at the moment, quite a shock. I thought I was ready but now it's reality I'm like noooooooooooo there goes my car fund
Does it get easier? I don't really like holding my god daughter, not a baby person
I've been told it's like a animal attachment though - as in I'll happily hold my cats and play with them, supposed to be the same with your own?
