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

shellybelly81 - Thursday, 18 September Hey my Natalie is 7.5 months old now, at 7 months I started stage 3's.. she eats really really well. She only has 2 teeth, and two top ones just popped out this morning! We switched to stage 2 probably at 6 months.. she also eats table food, bits of chicken, ground beef, toast, tear apart bits of turkey sandwichs, cheese, yogurt.. she enjoys eating our foods and she does well.

suzi - Thursday, 5 June MAJA WAS doing great with the AR and the .5ml of zantac for about 2 weeks now she is like you said the reflux is rear it;s head again, and she is being fussy and she eats half her bottle and then doenst want the rest she just fell asleep and didnt want to eat this is frstrating my dr., doenst want to put her on prevacid until she is 12 weeks do you think the prevacid works better than the zantac?
lil-ole-me - Tuesday, 3 June Sorry I haven't been back in touch - life is so crazy busy! And now I'm back at work, so sad... attatched to the breast pump as I type. Pumping every 2 hours makes it hard to get much done - might as well be at home with the baby. :) How is your daughter doing? I hope taht things are looking up a little... It sounds like her reflux was worse than Jordan's. I give her Axid twice a day to control the pain of vomitting, and besides a lot of laundry, we are doing much better. I ordered a couple of things, a wedge to put under the changing table to put her at an incline when we change diapers, and a ResQ wedge for her to sleep on. Haven't recieved the sleeping wedge yet, but the changing table positioner is really great! Used to be that I couldn't even change her diaper for an hour after feeding her, or she would throw up all that she had eaten. It hasn't stopped completely, but it is better since getting the wedge. If you google ResQ wedge, it should take you to the Pollywog website, where I ordered the stuff. Maybe it would be helpful for you too? I hope that all is well...
heathermariem - Tuesday, 27 May So many babies have this acid reflux, it makes me wonder why it's so common. I thought I was having a hard time giving my little girl her dose of prevacid, it's even harder for you because you have to give your little guy half the dose! I don't know why someone doesn't come up with an easier medicine for our babies to take. Liquid is so much easier to give. We have to give 1 ml of Axid at night and it's never a problem to give it since it can be put right into a dropper/syringe. If it's so common with babies to have this you would think they would come up with something to give them besides this prevacid solutab that you don't even know how much they are really getting of it. I hope your little man feels better! Giovanna is doing so much better now and is taking her bottle a lot easier than before. I hope your baby continues to do well on this medicine!
shortncrazy2 - Saturday, 24 May Might be hard but if you could make him skip a feeding you might be able to move him to 6-8 oz for the next feeding.
shortncrazy2 - Saturday, 24 May Might be hard but if you could make him skip a feeding you might be able to move him to 6-8 oz for the next feeding.
shortncrazy2 - Saturday, 24 May Isabelle eats 6-8 oz. every 4-5 hours. during the day. usually for the whole days its between 4-5 bottles.
JenO - Saturday, 24 May Well he seems to be spitting up about 1/2 as much but I think it is slowly creeping back to more and more everyday. I found with the zantac was pretty hard on him so maybe your babe doesn't agree with the prevacid. I have read too though that the meds aren't really to help with the spitting up....just the acid is reduced so it doesn't burn when they do have the reflux! I think we may have to live with the spitting up for a few months....booooo
suzi - Wednesday, 21 May the thicker formula has made maja a lot happier~
megcantwaitforherfirst - Wednesday, 21 May i loved the list u posted about things u sued and didnt after ur baby was born it is really helpful especially since i am going to be shopping for most of this stuff soon thank you for helping out a firs time mom like me
jenakers - Tuesday, 20 May Yes, It was a total roller coaster and totally worth it! We just love him to pieces. Thanks, Jen
Tiffanymommyto4 - Tuesday, 20 May How does the rice cereal going? I wa thinking of doing the wsame thing with my son. Im amazed at how many babies have acid reflux! My older children didn't have any issues like this!
oodabooboo - Thursday, 15 May I've just read your message about stiff hands. I had the same thing. My baby is now 10 weeks and the stiff hands have practically gone. My midwife said that it was pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel syndrome and should go away. Maybe that was it. Do you still suffer with it? If you do, I'd go to the doctors because they may need to do a tiny op to correct it if it hasnt gone away by itself (which it most probably has).
suzi - Wednesday, 14 May she is on nutramigen its 28 dollars for a small can its hypoallergenic and lactose free we will be switching her back to milk bAse after her apt to, and maybe but her on enfamil AR its the formula that is thickened for babies that spit up...how is the prevaCID WORKING
suzi - Wednesday, 14 May HEY SHE IS GOING THIS THUR TO A GI DR SHE IS GOING TO PRESCRIBE PREVACID LET ME KNOW HOW IT WORKS..WHAT FORMULA IS UR SON ON? IT DOES SUCK MY DR SAID THAT I CAN PUT CEREAL IN HER FORMULA TOO NOW
mizzsnazzy - Tuesday, 13 May Hi, I read your baby was diagnosed with Reflux. I wanted to ask you, if my son doesn't throw up, but arches his back and only eats 2.5- 3oz every 4 hours after eating 5oz before, is that Reflux? The doctor said it was, but I'm not so sure. He was put on Zantac, i just dont know if he really should be on it.
srm31 - Monday, 12 May I read kind of an old post about napping but was wondering if you have any tips. My babys 8 weeks old and she only seems to nap on me. I put her down , she wakes up , I pat pat pat and she just doesnt fall back asleep. I did this for an hour this morning then gave up only to have her fall asleep in my arms for another hour and a half
