It seems keeping an eye on them is all we can really do. My mum developed fibroids well after her pregnancies and ended up having them removed in her late 30s (which I think was also when she had ...

I love Aldi. Their organic muesli is great. The milk is so much cheaper than regulr brands. The nappy soak is fantastic as is the dishwasher powder. I get the orange scented soap (DH loves it) an...

Hi rockin Mummy I bought myself a Crumpler Soup'n Salad bag. Not designed as a nappy bag as such, but it's regularly sold to mums for that purpose. Haven't tried it out yet but one of my girlfri...

Hi everyone I'm 33 weeks through and have only put on 6kg. I wasn't exactly skinny to begin with but the OBG says that I'm doing all the right things. (she even predicts I'll lose weight at the bir...

Hi ladies - got my GT results back First test came back positive so had to go back and do the 2 hour test. I fainted after the 2nd needle (dehydration from fasting)....but the good news it came b...

Pineapple (fresh & juice) - from the begining of the pregnancy. Strawberry flavoured milk - I don't really like drinking milk so this was a surprise. Currently - I can't get enough of Frust Fru...

We're renting as well but happy to have neutral off white walls - all the better to show off bright colours! We bought a white cot and changetable and already had a white tall bookcase. My brothe...

Post GT test...... I was surprised by 'Bunyip's' reaction to the sugar hit of the GT test - talk about frenzied movements! Not helped by the fact that it's sitting breech at the moment. Results ...

Hi everyone Glad to see some activity in the post again. I'm off to the OBG for my GT tomorrow. Curious to see how it turns out. I'm averaging one night a week of waking up at 3am and not being ab...

Hi everyone & welcome Kelbuz Just wanted to share my amazing pram bargain with you. I bought a Maclaren MX3 pram and carrycot on E-bay last night for $380 (RRP $700). It's the first time I've ev...

Hi Teena - cute pic. You've also got me wondering what everyone else has nicknamed their little one. You have "Squirt". I have "Bunyip". What are everyone else's names? Di

Hi everyone Had my ultrasound this morning - all good but because the head size is a little on the small size, they've recalculated my dates to 18wks+5 days. Working it out in the diary, that make...

Hi Nicole Great news about the scan. I'm looking forward to mine. I'm in Yarraville - we're not exactly neighbours! So I'm guessing you're not going to a city hospital for number 3! We've decided...
