Mel - if you find LO slumps or looks lost in it you can roll up some towels to increase the padding and support them. Imogen used to slide about in hers, even at 6 months!

ETA - MSE finally let me change my avatar. That's Imogen on Saturday at her BBQ. Awwww!

Thanks Lu...It does have a kind of inner padded section, but I will remember that tip if he still wobbles around in it:D

Did I read somewhere that second babies don't engage until labour is pretty close (1st babies can engage weeks before)?

i may be talking !!!! but isnt it that with your first once they engage properly they get a bit stuck, but with the second everything is already so stretched and knackered that baby can pop in and out of engagement like a wag looking for the right footballer...

well, sports day was a success! we still have the competitive kind here, proper races, actual losers etc
luckily DD got a 1st and a 2nd and her relay team came third, so she was really pleased... and DS was supposed to enter the toddler race... but he slept through it instead probably best, they were all more preschoolers than toddlers, all much bigger than him...

feelie - you need to talk to someone before july about your agrophobia, when i had my anxiety problems i didnt want to leave the house either (and my neighbour suffers terribly from it too) the longer you leave it the worse it gets,
i was diagnosed with post natal anxiety disorder and that could be whats happened to you, i got help and now im fine (except i still dont want to talk to people on the phone)
you needed help before with the feeding problem, you got it and now everythings fine... use that 'it can be sorted' attitude towards solving this problme too.

Uh oh. Had to wake madam as she was still asleep. Now major tantrum taking place upstairs and, although she says she needs a wee, no co-operation whatsoever. Trying to ignore it as she normally becomes reasonable pretty quickly, but poor DH is trying to speak to her and getting variations of, "I don't want you!", "Go away Daddy," and "I want Mummy not YOU!"

Yep Lu - second babies, sometimes, only engage last minute...cg is right too, second and subsequent babies can pop in and out towards the end of of the pregnancy, whereas first babies do get wedged in;)

I knew when Kai had moved right down as I had chronic pelivic pain, then after a couple of weeks my bump looked really high again and pain had gone:D A couple of days before I went into labour I was at the midwife and he wasn't anywhare near being engaged:)
