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

hi, just saw your post in newborns. I was given the advice of sleep eat play in that order. You can give your baby a dummy but take it out when he is asleep. Swaddle hiim to get him to sleep. YOu can put a helium balloon on his cot so he thinks someone is there and leave the radio on so it sounds like someone is talking. Hope it helops

just today i expressed 1 bottle hoping to keep it not have use till am feed!! so i gave the breast and to my suprise she drank almost 20 mins from it! i was delighted and she fell asleep content after im hopin this is the start of it!

my milk supply has now started to be an over supply i think because of all the pumping there fair full!! so iv to express a bit b4 i giv her breast or she gag on it! flow of breast be too fast!
so they say between 15-40 mins on breast is what should be given! to satifyed! and good strong suckin! and that what she did for almost 20 mins! basically 20 - 40 mins is best! wen over supply anyway!

that soft light little sucks is only comfortin suckin and not eatin! so she 3 wks old today maybe a growth spurt too! has helped i just hope it continues. nice to breast feed in day and bottle feed at nite as she sleepy at nite she too lazy to drink from breast but im hopin that will change too! so be able to get 20 or so mins in. in the am instead of bottle and only use to express and give bottle wen im away from her for her daddy to feed her grandparents etc, so i hope you get on well too.

hey iv a 3 wk old and breast feeding, saw your comment in breast feeding! my baby falls asleep after 10 mins then i had to express 2 and half ounces of milk! as be crying mad other wise! now lst nite fed for 50 mins took 2 hours and still roothin after i think maybe not suckin hard enough!!! get full milk out! so i had express 2 ounces for her on top tat so 1 extreme to next!

maybe its what we eat not fatting healthy enough or there not suckin hard enough! or milk supply is low as 1 nite all i could pump was 1 ounce and baby cryin all nite! i love her feeding from breast, but is my milk not fillin enough if you find out let me know thanx!

hey im going through the exact same situation as you. im also taking fenugreek and definatly not producing enough milk. i feed my daughter for about 45 minutes total and then she still needs 3-4 ozs after. its soooo hard and frustrating. it makes me want to give up...but im so afraid i will be depressed.

Just keep nursing on that side. Start each session with that side and it will disappear. It takes probablly 3-4 days. Don't worry too much about it (I did, but the midwive just kind of brushed it off and it went away on its own).

oh my god congrats!!!! How exciting...I am so happy for you, it finally happened for us!! Two little healthy boys, the wait was definitely worth it. .....My first child's labor was like yours....I wouldn't dilate past a certain point and then had to get pitocin, I was in labor for 13 hours. But my 2nd, was so easy....they say it gets easier and boy was it....dilated right away, was in labor i think for maybe 6 or 7 hrs and that was that....but with a c section I found it much harder, I had to be in the hospital for 5 days, the incision was killer and they had me on pain meds all day....not to mention getting my staples out wasn't so much fun....I think I found it more emotional too, I cried alot LOL...over nothing....I
m still healing and can't drive yet, i've been isolated in the house....thank god I've had alot of help b/c I don't know what i would do, especially with my two other kids....Well I am so happy for you!! congrats and keep in touch....i think theres another board that continues on into the first year?? Let me know! ttys

crispy777 - Saturday, 19 July
It finally happened......actually the last day u wrote to me I was in labor....the night before my mucus plug came out and the next morning I was in labor.....I dilated all the way to ten really quick but the baby wasn't dropping....turns out the cord was wrapped around his neck twice...so i ended up getting a csection and just got home weds.....it sucks...my first two kids were vaginal and boy was it so much easier....but my little bundle is here and healthy and thats all that matters....Devon Michael 8 lbs 9 0z....big boy!!!! I haven't heard from you , hope all is well and can't wait to hear about your little bundle...ttys

I have had the same thing with the period like cramps and bleeding, My bleeding came after I was at the Dr's and she did an internal exam. It's painful but I found having a bath helped a lot. Good luck!

crispy777 - Friday, 11 July
Hi I had my dr apt yesterday too and NOTHING...so dissapointing...part of me wanted her to induce me but the other half wanted to see if I'll really go on my own....I'm becoming so frustrated.....besdies the waddling and rollig out of bed, a little crampy at night, I feel fine. The dr said if I make it to my apt next thursday they will do something to induce me, not sure what we didn't discuss. I know you said that you tested positive for strep b also, did you ask your doctor about the stripping your membranes thing? One dr told me no and another dr said yes.....I want to have the correct information before that is even discussed!! Are you having any cramps or 'fake" contractions? My baby is so cramped he's moving a bit less. I had a sono yesterday and they asid he was fine. Who knows...I am really tired of waiting. That would be so nice if we could walk our kis together.....I know that feeling, most of our friends are waiting to have kids still and there are practically no little ones on our block...ughhhh....Well please keep me updated and I am still praying we go soon!

Hang in there! I know times goes so slowly now but you'll have your little one in no time...You've waited this long, you can make it a few more days! And look around at others pages and you will see that it happened really quickly for a lot of them, from no signs to holding their babies within 24 hrs...You could be next! Labor and baby dust to you!

crispy777 - Wednesday, 9 July
I go for a sonogrma every week now because the baby was measuring big and they wanted to make sure he doesn't get too big cause then I need a c section...They measure him by sonogram....every week he seems to gain about 7 oz.....I had my first two vaginal so I'm hoping that this one will be also...I'm scared to get a c-section....Yeah my dr said no striipping the membranes b/c it's debated wether the strep b can then travel closer to the baby so we're just gonna wait......woth my first i was induced...she broke my water in her office, sent me to the hospital....meanwhile I never had any contractions....they had to give me pitocin through an iv which makes u have contractions.....then I wasn't dilating....it was a mess to be honest....scary....my second delivery was so smooth, had contractions and all that and dilated on my own....I am praying that I go totally on my own this time....We finished the babies room also....I go in there all the time and just sit wondering when on earth this little one is coming...I have a dr'sd apt thursday also...my dr is on vacation and im seeing someone ive never seen before.....I am so pissed...what is the purpose of that? What can i possibly say to him?? frustrating....you should ask the dr how far past your due date they let you go and if they do have to induce , how do they do it......I am praying for us that we have our babies soon.....before our dr's apt would be nice!!! let me know how it goes!!

crispy777 - Tuesday, 8 July
I know it's crazy that shaking your hands actually feels good right> Especially in the morning or at night my hands go sooo numb....it's been driving me crazy...I've had some contractions, very sporatic and spread through out the day, enough to make me stop sometimes what I'm doing, but then it goes away and i'm fine. I've been dilated at 2 cm for 6 weeks...the baby still hasn't engaged...I am so frustrated....This is our third and I thought okay I will definitely go early...I went at 39 weeks with both my other kids....the first the dr broke my water, which I will not let her do again and the 2nd she stripped my membranes which put me into contractions the next morning, but she can not do that this time b/c I tested positive for the group b and she cant do it with that....I actually feel pretty good today which is making me angry! LOL...This baby is already 8 lbs 7 oz as of last week!!!! Both of my other children were only in the 7's!!! I am really starting to stress myself out as to when this is gonna happen, it has become an obsession!!! I'm hoping i go to bed and get "woken up" by the baby!!! How about you? are u feeling normal? or anything out of the ordinary??

crispy777 - Tuesday, 8 July
Have you had any contractions? any signs of labor? I'm due ther 13th and going out of my mind....This is our third and I was sure I was going to go early....I am too anxious to get this over with

crispy777 - Tuesday, 8 July
The only other advice was to drink water so as not to retain as much and if I wanted wrist guards to sleep with at night LOL which i turned down...my husband thought that would have been great, me sleeping with wrist guards on...

crispy777 - Tuesday, 8 July
I've had the swollen feet and hands...actually my hands worse than my feet...the dr said that it was carpell tunnel syndrome only during pergnancy....when u start to retain water this happens...my hands become so numb and hurt and i have to shake them for a while....I thought that sounded funny...carpell tunnel but I also read it in what to expect......so i guess she's right!! Good Luck
