Laura Ward - Monday, 6 October Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com
Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.
You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

valon4 - Friday, 5 Oct Hey Jenn- thought I would check in and see how you've been and see that your sick. I hope you get better, I know theres nothing worse than being sick and pregnant! Hope you get better soon.
estellablu - Thursday, 4 Oct awww, i saw your post this morning about being sick. I hope you feel better. That's so nice you have such a supportive network of people to take care of you!!! Thank Goodness I haven't been sick at all this pregnancy *knock on wood*. I can't imagine what it's like not being able to take cold meds. Ugh!! :-( feel better.
briana - Thursday, 6 Sep Thx, that is what i have heard so far. I think i just might wait it out then to go through all of those trips to the bathroom and to end up not even going into labor.
Geez i am really ready to have her already.
valon4 - Tuesday, 4 Sep Its going good, besides the normal aches and pains that comes around this time. Its getting closer and believe it or not nervous as heck. Some think thats funny since I already have 3 but I dont think the butterflies of knowing a new baby is coming ever goes away. My last days of work is coming, YIPEE! I cant wait, then its my shower on the 15th which will probably make everthing all the more real. I havent really bought anything cuz my sister and mom keep telling me to wait till the shower so I think when I see the lil clothes its gonna hit me like a ton of bricks! So how are you doing? Is it hot where your at? Trust me times gonna fly by and before you know it you'll be right where Im at...
Laura1234 - Saturday, 1 Sep hey hey how are u gettin on. hows life treatng u?
ShanW - Saturday, 1 Sep I know what you mean, they kick so hard now! And I had a simular thing with the rib, I felt like she got her foot stuck behind my rib or something! HELLO! Not comfortable!
kalina - Wednesday, 15 Aug Wow another boy! How exciting. I'm having a boy too. My sister has 4 boys, they decided they are done. They are afraid if they tried one more time it would be another boy.
kalina - Tuesday, 14 Aug Hi congrats on your pregnancy! I was just wondering are you having a boy?
STEPH Q - Wednesday, 8 Aug Andrew is my husbands full name. Weird. yeah he acts like he wants to be the father and the husband, but then he wants total freedom to do what he wants when he wants and the worst part that I can not forgive are all the lies. He's never actually cheated as far as I know, but he tried when he left me 1 month prego. I talked to the girl. He got shut down before I ever knew about her. He's an idiot. I really don't want him in my life dragging me down, but I know he'll prob. be there forever now, at least in a small way. I hope I find my Mr. Right and that I can trust him. Until then I'm just worried about my little man.
steph q - Wednesday, 8 Aug Thanks so much! I just feel trapped in a way. I need him financially and I want him to be around for Ethan, but I'd rather have him have no father than a horrible father. I kinda feel like no man will ever be able to be with me. Like I'm too much for any man out there and now with another man's baby...yeah I'm pretty much gonna be an old lonely woman. I'm very picky about guys now too. The next one will have to be perfect, and I really doubt I'll ever trust a man again. I just want Ethan to grow up to be the EXACT opposite of his father.
Well Thanks for your comment and thanks for listening.

valon4 - Tuesday, 24 Jul WOW!!! you are just a boy making machine aren't ya... lol. Well a big congrats to you again... you will by very well taken care of by the men in your life!
estellablu - Tuesday, 24 Jul congrts on the little boy! I just found out yesterday i'm having a boy too! Mine weighs in at 1 lb. 4 oz!! We got some big boys on our hands! My doc told me that she wants me to get tested for gestational diabetes since he's so big already......do you have to do that?
brandee - Monday, 23 Jul CONGRATULATIONS!!!! YEAH FOR BOYS! LOL
valon4 - Monday, 23 Jul Good luck today! Dont forget to let me know how it goes, I cross my fingers that you lil bundle uncrosses his/her legs for you!
AnneDC - Saturday, 21 Jul Hey Jenn...I am pretty good about eating every few hours, but I suppose I could be slightly anemic anyhow? I will talk to my doctor about it!
Kylee_Andeemom - Friday, 20 Jul I was just reading down your page and I saw where that lady died. That is so scary. There is this thing called 'amniotic embolism' and it's basically when the baby's cells from the amniotic fluid get into the mother's bloodstream. In 80% of cases it's fatal to the mother. The only way they know that is what caused the death is to do a detailed autopsy and look for it. Usually it happens during birth but the research I've done on it says that it can happen up to two weeks after delivery. I wonder if that's what happened to her? It's really scary but also very rare. Research shows that being induced with pitocin ups your chances by 30% of it happening. That's one of the main reasons I don't want to be induced. If my doc was willing to break my water and let me walk then I'd probably do it. Anyway, I'll TTYL!
valon4 - Friday, 20 Jul The names are beutiful! My b/f picked both of my daughters names. I figured it was his first so I gave in... So are you lil boys excited? OMG your probably so anxious about Monday, I remember I couldnt sleep. Now I'm waiting for maternity leave... Then its count down! Well hope you lil one is treating you well :)
kylee_andeemom - Friday, 20 Jul I totally agree with you on the 'active baby' thing! I swear it feels like I already have a full term baby in there! When I'm in bed at night and I turn over to get comfy it's like he has to get comfy all over again too. I'll feel him moving and squirming around. Funny. I don't know what I'll do when I go into labor...Like I said, I've had fast labors on the past and I'm due in our deer hunting season. Even if hubby only hunts a few minutes from the house (there's places literally like 5 mins away) by the time be gets out of the treestand, gets all of his stuff together, walks out of the woods and gets home that's 1/2 an hour! My doc mentioned induction as the time gets closer (if all the conditions are right) but that scares me. I don't want to do it unless it's medically necessary. You know, I'm overdue, he's really big, etc. We'll see though when the time gets closer! Have you ever been induced?
kylee_andeemom - Thursday, 19 Jul HI! How are you feeling? I'm doing really well. Ryan is moving like crazy all the time! I can actually feel 'parts' when he moves now. Maybe like an elbow or something. It's so cool. I thought I'd tell ya, I've found that if I keep my knees together when I try and get up or turn over it doesn't hurn nearly as bad! :) I don't know if you've figured that out yet, but it just came to me yesterday and I tried it and it worked.
