Hiya Claire.. How is your hip (SPD?) now? Did you go back for a second opinion?

I spoke to the HV (who also happens to be a trained midwife) and she was helpful and said to monitor it for a few more weeks as it may still be hormones settling down but told me which doctor to see if its not any better. I've been working on my pelvic floor muscles (not as much as I should have but its a start!) and it all seems a hell of a lot better. I can actually lie on my back for more than 2 minutes without being in agony.

Glad to hear Rhys is still fighting everyone and getting better all the time

billy theres never enough money to raise kids so just do it when your ready i am prettu much broke and i had my second child nearly 10 weeks ago and i wuldnt change it for the world ...

HORAY by the way council came to checkout the noise from neighbours above me and got them to come in to my house and hear it for themselves they apologised and didnt realise it was so loud i told them its fair enough during in the day we all make noise but at 7-8pm when i put my kids to bed its not fair so she said they'd be more careful about how loud they turn there music ... progress is a slow process x

I can't comment on how much money you have but 2nd babies are generally cheaper because you have most of the gear you'll need and if you start to cut back/save now you could be fine ??
dependin on your OH'ss income you might get a surstart grant and you'll get the HiPG but not much else look here for info Expecting or bringing up children : Directgov

I think you son will be fine, my 2.5yo loves his new little brother (10weeks)

Hello ladies

I am just popping over from the pregnancy thread - hope you dont mind:p as i have a question:

I would like to wear my baby using a wrap (not sling, or ring sling) from birth but am petrified about supporting head etc. Has anyone had their baby in a wrap from birth.?

Is it the cradle carry position you used / use?

I have tried looking on video demos but the all seem to be flinging dolls and teddies everywhere and are not filling me with confidence:eek::o

I have tried the threads on here to do with baby wearing and other sites and have no sling meets near me

Hi everyone.

R.Mac - I can relate, though slightly different, we live in a skyscraper, and I went out with the bins (outside my front door, there is a cellar type thing that you can use to dry your clothes, but I can't because we have too much crap in there and next doors stuff spews all over onto my side too! Anyways the bin chute is in there so we don't have to go down to the bottom of the building, it's handy) Well I went out with the bins whilst she was sleeping (think she was about 6months) and we had different locks on the front door at the time, and the latch was on, and I only had the key for the cellar, and the door locked behind me.....I couldn't get in! I had cuts all up my forearms from trying to get my arm through the letterbox and to the side......Thankfully OH had finished work and got home about 25mins later but I heard her crying and I was practically pulling my hair out. Felt awful. No harm done though.....


We've had a nice few days here, Keira hasn't pooed in 3days again, holding it in.....I know she wants a poo because she keeps asking for her penguin nappys, she only asks for those if she wants the toilet, yet when I take her to the loo or ask her "NO WAY I DON'T NEED, LEAVE ME ALONE"

We switched our bedroom round a bit, and I have been using OH's flat as a pancake pillow unknowingly, and one side of my neck and shoulder is in agony, I must of slept funny on it, I've taken 6 ibuprofen's today and even bending down to feed the cats is sheer pain!


I just ordered the economy gastronomy book, for new recipe ideas, plus the things on the show so far look tasty! I reckon we spend WELL over £300 a month on shopping, though not all of that is food, sometimes we will go into morrisons and spend £50 and there is about 4 items of food in that, because we pick up washing baskets, new cutlery drawer things etc. Not sure if that should be included? Mind you when that is, it's probably nearer £400, no joke. I don't even know how, and never seems to be anything to eat.

I buy WAY too much Diet coke (I add that into the £300) I drink at least a couple of cans a day (no wonder I was so dear at the dentist, I don't have skanky teeth I swear......)

Anyhow, me and OH are going to sit down tonight, and make a meal plan, I envy people who can do this, because I only have about 7 meals I make, so gets a bit boring. Thing is, I have a big storecupboard, so much so that I open the door and I've got to catch cans of tuna and kidney beans, I have about 12kg of pasta in bags sitting in the linen closet. I don't know why I buy it, because we don't even eat that much pasta, I bulk out chilli and spag bol etc, but then all we seem to do is eat a bigger portion, Hahahaha.....plus Keira is so fussy she won't even try most things, though that is seriously away to be nipped in the bud, sick of her screaming she doesn't like it, if she TASTED it before she shouted that, I wouldn't mind......

I guess my point is, I have no imagination with food, though like looking at recipes, and I say I'm going to make it but never do, my shopping bill is way too high for 3 people (but then there is 2 greedy fat cats) and I AM ADDICTED TO DIET COKE AND CRISPS....and cigs.......I WILL STOP, once the packet I have is finished that's it, I ain't buying anymore. Lets see if I can do it this time......

Our BMW locks itself pretty quickly, any chance her wiggling meant it took a bit longer. Don't blame you for not wanting to lose key, they cost about £100 to replace don't they?

that's a good point - it may well have 'timed' out yes. And they cost about £110 as we had to get a new keys last year (OH broke his - how I do not want to know!):rolleyes:

you've blocked in poor Ladybirds farm on FB!!!:rotfl:

fritha is the expert really but have you looked if there is a sling meet http://www.slingmeet.co.uk/ local to you? then you can see properly and have a go of one.
I have a wrap sling and tbh they take a while to get used to as they more complicated than ring slings or mei tais but I've not put Ed in it, I'm off to a sling meet on monday to give it a whirl though
