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

It will get better, try not to give up on breasfeeding. Is your nipple white after your baby is done feeding? Maybe she has a bad latch that is causing pain? Although I wouldn't think that would last beyond a couple minutes after she unlatched. It might be letdown like Nymom suggested, I've just never experience it so I don't have a frame of reference. You can take ibuprofen and see if it helps any with the pain, it's safe to take while breastfeeding.

Hi there.. I read your post about MILs-- I agree with your point that they were once young moms, too. However, in the case of dcmomof3, it sounds like her MIL is much like mine. She drinks and smokes alot. My MIL is a 2-time felon. She has had numerous DUIs and what not. So I have no compassion for her drinking and will never leave her alone with my son. I believe its one thing to be a momma's boy, but another to have an irresponsible mom and expect your wife to trust her with a baby. But, it was a good point to make, especially since its so easy to get mad at a jealous MIL.

Thats so sweet to offer, but I couldn't ask him to do that. I'm sure he has enough to do while he is here. Thanks for the thought though. You all must be in California if you've got cherries already. They've just started blooming here. Have a great day!

I am so jealous because cherries are my absolute favorite and we don't have them here in Oregon yet. That sounds like a fantastic meal!

by the way ladies, thank you for the supportive comments!

i cancelled it and I felt terrible at first because I thought I hurt her feelings which probably I did.

Now that it is over, I feel so much better and I am in peace.

I don't know exactly why i don't want one and I am not sure if there needs to be an explanation. I just don't like to be at the center of attention. I don't like to cutsie stuff most people like. I am not overly excited as most of the people here about being pregnant. I think everything about pregnancy is overrated and extremely commercialized. I find baby showers boring and unnecessary. People need to come with present. I don't want them to buy something because they should. If someone is going to buy something, he/she does it anyway. I don't like to get gifts that are bought just for the sake of buying. Another thing is, there are so many things that I am worried about so I just don't have the mood to celebrate, not right know.

I did not want to have a wedding either but I could not help it because my friends wanted one. The funny thing is this same person before we even start talking about getting married and wedding thing, she promised her daughter that she was going to be our flower girl. When we said no, of course the girl burst into tears and I had to walk out with a girl who was almost as tall as me (I am very petite, just 5 foot and she was pretty tall for a 6 year old).

the only way I survived the baby shower thing was by doing my own, lol, I could pick which of the least stupid games to play, invited only select friends and their families, we did co-ed, the hubby's bbq'ed and we all walked down to the park with the kiddies, was very relaxed... Gave goodie bags, got sweet lil presents.... Couldn't stand the idea of someone else trying to plan it, I knew I would hate anything they chose to do, and also since it was at my house, I figured I could kick out anyone anytime if I needed to clear out the house..... Good Luck, and she should have listened to you about all this in the begining, then SHE wouldn't have created this mess in the first place.

i can relate to how you feel. I really dont get along with my in-laws and i found out that my mother in law wants to throw me a 'surprise' baby shower, i totally dislike being the 'center of attention' it just feels akward for me to be around my in laws. I am very quiet and shy and his family is loud, and open to just about anything so yeah this is my 3rd i work with 5 other people and they gave me a mini shower which was nice because i was within my confort zone, so my mother in law has a shower planed for me this weekend, but just so happens i will 'be out of town' so i can relate to how you feel

i dont understand why you wouldnt want a babyshower either..

Jenee-n-Angelina - Thursday, 17 April
why dont u want a baby shower?

Daisy04 - Thursday, 17 April
Well I know how you feel..I really didnt want one either and I have this really religious neighbour that wants to give me one. I have decided to just go with the flow and go to it. I guess its hard for them to understand the way you are feeling, they cant believe you dont want one because you will get lots of pressies.(wooptedoo!!) My husband and I have bought everything ourselves and are happy with that. I hardly know the people that will be at it too..neighbours that I casually say hi to but thats it..its going to be weird. Do you think you would be able to go and just stick it out for a couple of hours then say you have to go as your not feeling too good?? or do definitly not want to be there? Can you maybey get your mom or someone to explain to her its just not your thing? The thing is..you are under enough stress of the pregnancy without this upsetting you further. I dont know that you will get many relpys to this posting as there are a lot of young first time mommies on here that are counting the days to their baby shower, it seems to be all they are living for!!!!...but trust me...I understand where you are coming from..its not the end of the world if you dont want one so if you are adament..stick to your guns. Good Luck!
