Me & My Family.

I live in Brighton, East Sussex, UK. I am married to the most wonderful man in the world who not only works hard but helps round the house too as well as being a Super Dad to our precious 3 3/4 year old daughter.

Our daughter is so precious because at the grand old age of 15 I was diagnosed with Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) then when I meet "the hubby" and wanted to start a family, we were told that the chances of falling pregnant naturally was very low and that I was too overweight for IVF but could have an hysterectomy! We were desperate to be a family so I had by Jaws wired shut to help me lose weight this was not successful, after a long bout of depression I resigned myself to never being a mother.

In February 2004 I knew there was something "wrong" with me and thought after a few emotional outbursts that the depression had come back, I went to the doctors and was prescribed anti-depressants, I took them home and read the information booklet. "DO NOT TAKE IF PREGNANT" was written in bold print. As the PCOS made my periods few and far between, I hadn't given pregnancy a second thought, I brought a home pregnancy test and tried not to get my hopes up, I took the test the minute a got home. It came back "POSITIVE!" I took a further 6 tests, all positive! I went back to my doctor and all he said was congratulations book in with the midwife. Our beautiful baby girl was born at the end of September 2004.

Just to have one child was more then we had ever wished for so when we got to thinking that she needed a sibling and to trying to conceive again we didn't get our hopes up and told ourselves we were lucky to have one child.

After almost 2 years of trying we were about to give up hope when that feeling of something being "wrong" with me returned, I tested straight away - POSITIVE! We had proved the doctors wrong not once but twice and our new baby is due 21st November 2008.

If you can't find me here, I may be at my first love here:

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

Sx

Just thought I'd check in and see how you are feeling! Only about 7 weeks to go. Still seems to feel like forever but it will be here before we know it!
