Laura Ward - Sunday, 7 December Message to all: This message is not intended for any one person, but a general statement to all members of the site. After hearing what you all think in regards to posting photos on the forums, we have modified the rules and ask that everyone familiarize yourself so that the site continues to remain friendly for everyone, including new members. In an effort to be respectful of all members of the site, we ask that members do not post more than ONE photo or video per person in the weekly, monthly and information forums. Your ONE picture should be small in size as well. Any large photos will be deleted. You are welcome to post as many pictures as you would like in the photo books, which were created for the purpose of sharing and viewing photos. You may also post as many blogs as you would like with photos in them. We understand that many members enjoy posting and viewing pictures on the forums, but this is not where they belong. We must keep the pictures on the boards to a minimum so that the written comments can continued to be written and read. Otherwise, the numerous amounts of large pictures squash the messages and they become missed. We ask that this modification be respected, therefore any member that continues to post numerous pictures a day will be deleted from the site. Thank you all for helping us keep the site friendly and welcoming for all members.
Dirk - Friday, 5 December Message to all: In the last 2 years you all posted 1.1 million photos to the site, and that needs a little maintenance. We are currently renaming all photos from the personal photobooks in order to speed up the site. Some, or all your photos may not show while we are working on the photobooks. You don't have to do anything. We hope to have all photos sorted in about 24 hours from now. You can upload new photos to your photobook while the computer is working on your other photos. Thanks for reading.

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

katiebaby1434 - Tuesday, 20 May OK YOUR PROBLEM SOUNDS A LOT LIKE MINE, I HAD A FEVOR LAST WEEK OF 101.5, THE CHILLS, AND OUCH MY NIPPLES HURT, AND STILL HURT SO BAD...WHEN I GET THE CHILLS, OMG THE WORST PAIN I THE WORLD!! I'M ON ANTIBIOTICS BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING WHAT SO EVER....I CRINGE EVERYTIME HE LATCHES ON AND SOMETIMES CRY. I HAVEN'T TRIED PUMPING YET, BUT I ALMOST BROKE DOWN AND GAVE HIM FORMULA....I AM SO LOST, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!
littlecavalier - Tuesday, 13 May Regardless of whether or not your baby is actually latching on, you are still breastfeeding even if it's pumped and given to him by a bottle. I haven't had mastitis but I did have a clogged duct and have had thrush a couple times so I can only imagine adding the flu like symptoms of mastitis onto that! It will get better though and breastfeeding will get easier. A lot of women choose to pump and give their babies bottles. It is a lot more time consuming than just strictly breastfeeding but it does give you a little bit more flexibility. If you do decide to just pump you might want to read up on ways to keep up your milk supply. Babies are much better than pumps at getting the milk out and if you don't pump religiously your milk supply will decrease. Do whatever you feel is best for you and your son, I do promise though that if you stick with it it will get better!
