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

liltee - Sunday, 24 August
Hey how are you doing. I can not believe that our babies are at the 1 month mark can you? Vincent is at 8 lbs 13 ounces time is flying by.


juniper willow - Saturday, 23 August
hi all! well, we are still house hunting. We actually found a house but then my hubby decided that he DID want to live on post since our post house is literally a two minute walk to his work...but the post house won't be ready til Sept 11...so I am still looking for my dream lake house..:) I finally get my car tomorrow (arrived from Gemany and hubby picking it up this weekend) I am so happy since my car has a/c and it has been hot here...my hubby's car doesn't have a/c and it has been uncomfortable..I love my church here and finally found a doctor. He is in Louisville so it is 80 miles round trip to see him but they all say he is the best here and no one here wanted to treat me since I am high risk..anyway, I do like him..I just wish he was closer. We had our level II u/s. I added a blog about ot on my page...some things to look for but I think all will be well.. Hope all of you are having a great weekend and all is going well!


doublethejoy2lilboys - Thursday, 14 August
Congrats on the babies!! I got on here just to check on you and those precious bundles. That's so neat how your twins weighed the same as mine! 5lbs 5oz and 5lbs 11oz! Take care!


Juniper Willow - Thursday, 24 July
Hi all just wanted to let you know that the cruise was fabulous..all is well with baby..yes, I broke down on the ship and had an u/s on ship and there he was sucking his thumb and being adorable. the doctor called all the staff in to see my little guy as many have never seen an u/s. One guy started to cry and said that was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen on the ship...I had to agree! I swear I could stare at my baby all day.:) So, now I am in NY and tomorrow I take the train and see my hubby after two weeks and start the joy of house hunting and then house settling. We came back to sad news. My grandmother passed away while I was on the ship..she was a grand ole 102!! But I looked fwd to sharing my baby with her...but as my friend said, now she has a front row seat!:) But my uncle with whom she had been living the last 8 years along with my aunt is in critical condition and I worry my aunt may lose her husband and mother in the same week. He has pneumonia and then had a heart attack in the hospital and is now bleeding internally...so if you could spare a prayer for him, please offer one up. We are waiting to hear funeral arrangements as all eyes are on my uncle right now. But, we, baby and me are fine...just saddened. so thanks for all your thoughts while i was traveling!!I am so glad now I took the cruise but was worried at the length of it...but glad we are here and still going fine! NY is hot and now rainy but great to back in the USA!

Alicia23 - Tuesday, 15 July
Congratulations


liltee - Sunday, 13 July
I can not wait to hear from you how did the c-section go I bet you are excited to see them.


juniper willow - Wednesday, 9 July
hi there as you all know by my blog..IT IS A BOY..but I wanted to share the rest of my NT screen tests with you because many have asked. The measuremenst wer immediately read and were great 1.5 and well within "normal" they then took blood for what they call a second testing..and we got ourt blood results back yesterday...these screens just give you a risk factor and cannot rule out DS or other problems completely but...Before the test due to our ages and family history our chances of achild with DS was 1 in 68..kind of scary and then they called yesterday and said our reulst were fabulous and the now risk factor is 1 in 1,312...the same risk as a healthy 20 year old!! So, they said to enjoy my 20 year old body.:) who knew!:) anyway, we weren't gping to do an amnio anyway due to tyhe risk factor and of course, we'd be keeping our little boy regradless but the doctor said he wouldn't even suggest one with these results and that he would just do teh quad 4 and the u/s at 20 weeks so we are! Just wanted to update ya'll...still packing away and tryyingh to get ready..can't believe I am leaving europe in just 5 days!! what a new life we have ahead of us!


hopefulmom2b - Tuesday, 1 July
My great brandparents build a beach house in Laguna Beach (next to Panama City) in 1938, so we go there. My aunt was supposed to be going, but she can't, so she offered the house to us for the week. I couldn't pass up a free trip to the beach! I hope the boys do good in the car. I'm a little nervous because they are still so small in their car seat! We will probablt stay in the house most of the time until the grandparents get there in the middle of the week. I don't plan on taking the boys down to the beach except to take pictures, but we'll see.

I'm sorry that you are feeling down! I can't imagine still being pregnant! I know it's hard having your body no longer being your own, but it will all be worth it! I will get home from the beach on the 13th, so hopefully you will have had them by then, if not I will get back just in time to send you best wishes before the c-section. I hope it goes well. I did pretty good with it, but then again I didn't have to take care of two babies at home right after it. Is your honey going to take time off to help with the babies? Will your sister be coming?

Hang in there! If the boys do good going to the beach maybe we will make a trip to Atlanta before I go back to work.


hopefulmom2b - Monday, 30 June
Hey girl. So, any babies yet? Do you think you will make it to the 14th? We are headed to the beach Sunday, so I will be out of pocket unless i can find WiFi. I hope I don't miss them arriving, but what a great surprise to come home to when I get back! Yes...we are taking the boys to the beach. They will stay up at the house, but we had the chance to go and I couldn't pass it up!


Juniper Willow - Sunday, 29 June
Hi all! Just a quick update! all is well. Just deep in this move..we have our final wlak through with our landlord tomorrow and I swear we have a house full of junk yet an danother all nighter ahead of us...ARGH!!

My last u/s was lats Tuesday Jun 24 and all was wodnerful. Our little baby was steadily punching his/her little are throughout the u/s.

My Goddaughter got off on Thusrday and her parting was anything but sweet... she was quite disturbing and after her yelling f --this and f---- that for about three hours I ended up yelling back at her to just shut up...anyway, needless to say the trip to the airport was solemn. I was crying all day afraid I had hurt my baby with the over emotional scene..but she is gone an dsafely back in Korea and her three years with us is over although she saddled us with a bunch of her stuff to mail but we'll get to it eventually. It was the first time I ever yelled at her in anger so I was a bit upset but I couldn't get her to stop yelling.And I am sorry we parted in such terms..of course, she now apologizes profusely and alreay wants to come back an dlive with us but she is 18 an dready to face the world.:) without us.:)

So, I have been a bit worried but no pain, no bleeding, still exhausted and jsut came from church where I was humbly reminded this is all in God's hands and I just have to trust that all is well.

11 weeks tomorrow! I am so excited! Thursday July 3 I have my NT screen and will get to see my baby again.;)

No computer anymore so I probably won't update until after Thursday! Thanks for checking in. sorry for the long message! Have a Blessed day and thank for all the thoughts and paryers! 11 weeks and feeling GREAT!


nadgieV - Tuesday, 24 June
Hey you! I'm so glad everyhting is going so great for you. Babies seem to be perfect and I'm very excited!
I wanted to let you know Joshua and Caleb are coming home this weekend. I am thrilled and very thankful to God


doublethejoy2lilboys - Monday, 23 June
I am so happy that you are doing so well and that the babies are almost 5 lbs! Mine were 5lbs. 5oz. and 5lbs. 11 oz., so if yours are anything like mine...not much longer!! :0) That's good that you are walking. I wish I could have walked more at the end, but I kept swellin horribly. I feel so bad for you that you will not have help. Don't be afraid to ask someone for help. AND people only ask if you want help because they want to help. I had to learn that. At times I thought I would lose my mind if they cried for one more minute, but even at a month and a half, things get better. I hope you are better at handling the first few weeks better than me, lol. The recovery for me was okay overall. The first few days at homewere no lie...HELL. But After a full week, I felt really good. It's just making it past that first week. When you are in the hospital. Don't feel obligated to keep the babies with you 24/7. I had to because there were 12 other babies born the weekend they were and the hospital was understaffed and asked if I would keep them. I realize now if I could have gotten a full night's sleep sometime...Things would have been easier the first few days at home...although right when you come home you don't feel tired or realize just how tired you are until you sleep. Something I wish someone would have told me: Have about 8 or more bottles made up with the water in them. That way as soon as they cry at night all you have to do is add the formula. You won't have to take tons of trips to the kitchen. Also, the boys slept better when they were warm and swaddled. Of course it was cold out when they were born but, they just don't sleep good when they are a tiny bit chilly. And, if you plan on letting them use pacifiers...my twins didn't like the mams...they liked the nuks...it was easier for them to keep it in their mouth. Another thing is don't be afraid of feeding them too much...They sleep better and longer when they get full. Wow...I think this is getting to long, but I hope I helped in some way. Oh yeah. I would go ahead and buy some distilled water or (I buy "Nursery Water" don't think it matters) so that you don't have to boil water for the bottles all the time. Oh and checkers did move with us! She loves it. My boyfriend bought her 2 new toys yesterday :0) I'm going to shut up now I cant wait to see pic of your bundles!

Hi! Using absolutely nothing in the dryer is best, to be honest. But absolutely nothing scented, is what's necessary. Hope that helps!
