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

kathleen - Saturday, 23 Feb hey, hows it going? i uploaded a pic of keanna when she was about to throw a fit u can see her screwing up her face and the little winkles coming though. i no i'm a mean mummy saying she looks like a dog lol
mami.lovin - Thursday, 7 Feb as long as you use the baby lotions it is good for you to use lotion on your baby daily... this way their skin does not dry out... my doctor told me that a good time to do this is right before bed... it sets a scheduled time that happens everyday and it also sets a constant for your baby and as time goes on your baby will know that once you put the lotion on at night that it's time to calm down and go to sleep... it really works and also when you put the lotion on if you rum from the chest out then it also helps circulation...
Meg - Sunday, 3 Feb I went into the hospital Monday Oct 15th to be induced at 7:30am. Everything got started and was on the way my 8am. The contraction were coming regularly for a while but I wasn't dialating too fast. At 2pm my doctor came in to break my water. That is when everything got INTENSE. I started dialating at a good speed and had strong contractions. I decided to go for the epidural. Shortly after getting the epi I started getting a strange different pain. It wasn't contractions and it hurt SO bad. I started crying and begging the nurses to do something. They kept telling me it was normal. at 8pm i couldn't relax anymore I started crying unbearably from the pain. I was dialated to a 9 at that point and not ready to push. I had the constant pressure that I wanted too though.
Crying for 3 hours straight I exhausted myself. I was passing out between contraction. I started pushing at 9:30pm. His head would come down then go back up. That when on for 3 1/2 hours. Finally at midnight the dr told me he wanted to take me in for a c-section. I couldn't lay flat on my back it hurt so bad... When they were doing the c-section I swear I could feel them cutting me. I don't remember everything from that point but I opened my eyes and they were closing me up. He was born at 1:02am Tuesday morning after 17 hours of labor.
It turns out that I have a bony prominence on my tail bone. I can't have vaginal births.
kaela - Sunday, 3 Feb Congratulations!! He is a beautilful little boy. So glad he's doing well hun

kellyann - Monday, 28 Jan Congratulations on your gorgeous little boy. im glad that your both well. xxx
teenMOMMIE - Sunday, 27 Jan very healthy for being early!! :]
bensmommy - Monday, 21 Jan your getting so close you have such a pretty belly i love it i didnt get very big at all
abrinasay - Sunday, 20 Jan Atleast you know exactly when you're having the baby. I wish I knew. We're naming her Deandra Christina Burton. A stretch and sweep is... They strip the membranes from the cervix, and if you're dialated enough, usually brings on labour. I'm only 1cm dialated, so it didn't do anything. I go for another one next week.
carla69 - Saturday, 19 Jan Thanks! One benefit of being high-risk is that I get to have pics of my little one often. :-)
naomijane - Friday, 18 Jan oh well you look great dear =] when did you first get the marks on your sides? Im worried about getting them but I hear they fade so I guess its not all bad. hope you have a happy, healthy pregnancy!
abrinasay - Friday, 18 Jan 3rd ones a charm! I'm still so jealous cause you look wonderful. I went from 105 to 149. And I didnt get big until about 28 weeks, I think thats why I got so many. What are you having a boy or girl? Your doctor doesn't think you'll go full term? Names picked out? I got a stretch and sweep yesterday, and it didn't do anything.
abrinasay - Friday, 18 Jan You don't look like you have stretch marks. Mine are soo noticeable, but well worth it in the end. After shes out, I'll probably freak out about it... but for now, I'm ok with them. Best wishes for you and your baby.
