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.

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.

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

amybell - Saturday, 21 Jul Hi, just wanted to let you know that you could always rent a doppler online. One of the websites is http://www.heartbeatsathome.com/, or you could just look up heartbeat dobbler rental on your search engine. Talk to ya soon.
diana24 - Thursday, 12 Jul Doctors can really freak us out with their diagnosis sometimes. But if you think about it God is in control . Everything has been planned by him even before you were born. Just pray and have faith and your baby will be ok. talk to u soon
diana24 - Wednesday, 11 Jul Hi Lucy, so what did ur dr. say about ur cervix?? I'm sure every thing will be ok. ur last measurement were within normal. But let me know.
welshgirl - Tuesday, 10 Jul Hi lucy, ill be week 29 on friday. As for the blow up bed i tried sleeping on one at 26 weeks it gave me major backache and also felt like my stomach had been stretched. You maybe ok if you use a support pillow for your bump, but it also depends on if you can get up easily from such a low down position. I personally am struggling getting in an out of a normal bed at the moment i really doubt i would be able to get up off the floor lol. It all depends on how you feel around the time i guess.
diana24 - Monday, 9 Jul Hi Lucy, how are u? Well when I was 14 wks I had my cerclage put in and at that time my dr. said my cervix was already pretty soft. Which isn't good bcuz it was way too early on the pregnancy. As far as the length it was about 2.5cm and at 19 wks I was put on complete bedrest becuz it started getting shorter. I also lost a baby. I was 21 wks and after that my dr. diagnosed that I have an incompetent cervix. have they measured ur cervix?? did you ever find out what caused you to loose ur baby? well if u have any more ?? let me know take care
AHAMI - Monday, 9 Jul 29 weeks today. I am scheduled for a camping trip at the end of July. I am cancelling. As I would have to sleep in a tent on an air matress. My biggest concern is the heat. I can't sleep when it is hot. I also have gestational diabetes (have PCOS too)so that makes things a bit harder too. If it is cool during the time your supposed to go, it probably wouldn't be to bad. I would waite to see how your feeling at that point and then make the decision. With my first I had Pre-eclampsia and it wouldn't have worked with my bedrest and swelling. I also know I can't snooze or take naps during the day if I can't sleep well at night because of my 2 year old:-)Who knows you may feel GREAT!!
carlyj - Monday, 9 Jul I am 29 weeks. I would say that it depends on how you feel. I feel uncomfortable sleeping in a bed as the bump is so big and very tired. so if you can put up with being tired and uncomfy i cant see why you should not go
lisat620 - Thursday, 5 Jul Hello My name is Lisa and I have the exact same thing as you...I have PCOS and I just lost my baby at 20 weeks also, I can't help but think that maybe PCOS had something to do with it, hopefully we should get some test results back next week. This was an IVF pregnancy also and I am so afraid to try another implant only to get the same results...but I have to try...Good luck with your pregnancy and I will pray that everything goes great this time around. God Bless you and your baby!!
firstimemomoftwins - Thursday, 5 Jul hmm well i'll be 31 weeks tomorrow and my cervix is measuring 2.6cm. I guess ill find out how bad it is at my next ultrasound, hopefully theyre not gonna put me on bedrest!
amybell - Tuesday, 3 Jul When they told my my cervix was short they said it was 2.4cm now it is almost 4, so they aren't watching that anymore. They were watching the placenta because they thought it was low but at the last ultrasound she said it moved enough that we will probably only need to go in for one more to make sure everything is good. Take care talk to you soon.
amybell - Monday, 2 Jul Congrats on your pregnancy!! I see that you are from Sussex, is that in WI?
Laura1234 - Friday, 29 Jun hmm its like telling them how to do their job then though lol. will just see how it is at the next scan :)
KristinWaters - Thursday, 28 Jun Hi Lucy. thatnks for your message. i'm sorry to read about your first pregnancy. that thas been my biggest fear as well. but i'm sure that all expectant mothers worry about the same thing. my bones also creak a lot but i think they just stretching out a bit, i'm pretty small so they'll need to. it's amaizing to think about the whole process. keep strong and take care of your body. kristin:)
