What's wrong with the old fashioned butt sniff or quick grab and squeeze method of checking a nappy? Geez my kids backside does not need to tweet me.

I had one with DD1, it was awful and I got bleeding from 7 weeks on and off until about 13 weeks. I was constantly convinced I was miscarrying. But at my 20 week scan it was gone and I had a normal...

Hoot hoot, my dogs name is Jimbob. I kid you not. He's my hill billy dog, and he's very classy (except when he eats cat poo).

Google 'witching hour' and you will probably see a familiar thing for you. Most babies have an unsettled period some time during the day. Usually in the evenings. Both my girls did it....

My parents are old hippies at heart which is one of the reasons why my parents chose the Steiner system for my brothers and I. We also moved between countries so they wanted our education to feel f...

Agree completely with the above. I consider the act of raising my girls as much of an important job as my husbands. He is responsible for pushing papers around all day. I am responsible for the phy...

I went to a Steiner school myself for a while. It was while ago I'll admit. It is a beautiful, safe and nurturing environment to learn. BUT there are still the same classroom dynamics, disagre...

Yes they are SSRI medications. Zoloft is given usually for anxiety, OCD, panic disorders and post traumatic stress.

I took it for a while too. If you want any specific answers I don't mind sharing. For me it did the job. I was feeling very low before I started taking it. I started taking it and it disrupte...

My DD1 snores like a freight train. So bad we couldn't use a baby monitor sometimes as her snoring set it off all night. Her snoring is mostly to do with her tonsils. She gets tonsilitis oc...

We nearly called her Georgie Gayle and shortening it to Gigi. But we wanted to go with a family name and we call her Gigi anyway I don't have a problem with kids having the same middle name,...

We have a Georgie, her middle name is May (after my Grandmother), but I think it glows nicely anyway.

My obs didn't measure my fundal height during my entire pregnancy, he says it's really not an accurate way to judge baby size. I had my fundal height measured by a midwife once with DD1, ...

I have used FDC for 2 and a half years. We have had the same carer for the whole time. Our DD's are like part of their family and we love and trust the whole of the FDC's family. She has ...

I did this after my first too. Even though the delivery was quite uncomplicated (for an induction), I was so not prepared for the reality and pain of a labour. I was in shock a bit afterwards and...

+1 Dani. I had two medically necessary inductions as I have an underlying medical condition that required labour to be timed between medication doses. I read extensively on the subject and it is q...

I would read up on inductions. They put you and your baby at increased risk of complications and interventions. I have had two inductions for medical reasons and I would not recommend it at all. ...

Yep, babies come when they are good and ready. Nothing is surefire in bringing on labour. i tried everything known to man and was induced both times anyway.

You can get the tablets at most health food shops. I got a heap online very cheaply too. Not that they did anything for me. Although I will say, that I still need to be induced, but my labour (...

I took it on tablet form from 34 weeks religiously. Still had to be induced
