Has anyone had an experience of a Doula? A local girl has offered her services for free as she needs a few more clients/ case studies to complete her qualification. I just need to be happy to fill out paperwork and speak to her mentor.

Ive never thought of one before but my oh lives and works 4 hrs drive away, so I dong think he'll make it time for the birth.
I'm meeting her in a couple of weeks.

If you like her and she seems sensible, why not? Doulas in general are a great idea.

Hi Ladies and Bumps,

I try and read most of the posts where possible but don't have time to post much as so busy.

Could someone please put me on the boards as due 15/01/11.

Been cautious about putting anything up as it took us a while to get here and felt very scared it would actually happen.

But it would be nice to have some support and everyone seems so friendly on here.

Thanks

Wlecome Princess and congrats.

Giz it used to be that if you were overweight, then it was 1 stone overall, if you were "average" then 2 stone overall and if you were underweight then 3 stone overall.
Not sure if that's out of date now, but I haven't gained any weight so far and don't intend to, as I am properly overweight.

Nic- i met a couple at real nappy events, personally they are not for me, seem very fixed on one goal and unwilling to consider an alternative may be more suitable for the mother but go meet her, see what you think, IMO a doula should be there for support and to ensure YOUR opinions and WANTS are listened to not hers.

Giz 13lb sounds about fine, i'm actually lighter due to no steroids which is confusing alot of people. If you eat reasonably healthy then no matter the number you will be fine.

Gems - don't worry about induction, it really isn't that bad, so much so I plan to ask for one this time.

On the subject of change bags I love lin & leo bags.

Welcome to all the newbies

Luckily there is only 1 on ebay just now and its cream so no use to me - phew!

So can I justify the radley bag because this is my first and we want 2 kids? I don't want to pay more than £50 as that's what the M&P one cost. I might see if mum and dad might get me one for Christmas as there really isn't anything I want this year.

I would most definitely say so!! I should have thought along those lines 9 years ago!

Giz - apparently the NHS don't see it as good practice or of medical merit to weight you throughout pregnancy. There are a few online pregnancy weight calculators if you want to check how you are doing but don't read too much into them.

I'm jealous of all you ladies out shopping. We have to put things like this on hold as OH got his redundancy confirmed on Friday, so we'll have zero income if he doesn't find another job soon.

I know lots of ladies here felt very anxious about their pregnancies at the very beginning (hence the <12 week thread) but has anyone else felt more anxious after reaching 24 weeks? I just worry about LO coming out too soon and fighting for life in an incubator. Particularly when it get a kick in the cervix which sends weird spasms through me and feels like its gonna put a foot through the floor!

2GFM for the people you want to quote, click the button with the red and orange balloon in. A tick will appear. When you're ready, click "post reply" job done. You can only multi-quote a max of three though. x

They tried to make me get on scales in the corridor. My response was "no chance matey" I told them what I weigh, if they don't trust me to tell them the truth, I don't trust them to tell me the truth!

Hugs, I'm not shopping either, but that must be horrible for you.

It's an anxious time, have to say though I was in floods of tears this morning reading how big bubba is now, its really happening:j

I paid £50 eight years ago, and am about to use that "avent" rucksack for the third time, its been through the washing machine loads and still in perfect nick. In boring black, though.

eta just seen the price of lin and leo bags, £140:eek: I thought £50 was a lot:rotfl:and they wouldn't go in the washing machine. OMG I sound like my mother!!

LilacPixie

aaa but they are leather, and look like a handbag, and after 2 kids i want a one bad all used thing

Zip lock bags are the key for a changing bag. Never hada leakage yet!!
