Thanks for your concern. Pregnancy wise, things are fine, thank goodness. I'm now over 21 weeks along and really showing. I can really feel the baby moving a lot. The 5 month scan is next Monday. Re SIL - she finally left about 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, her staying with us for 6 months seems...

We are some months away from having our baby but many people I have asked about the whole sleep issue have suggested what everyone else has already said in their replies - babies need to be taught how to sleep otherwise they grow up to be difficult sleepers. I have chronic sleep problems and was...

“Morning” sickness This really is the pits, isn’t it? I had it BAD for much of my first 3 months then it magically stopped after the 3 month scan. I did actually vomit a few times - not pleasant at all and felt very sorry for myself. DH and I got much closer during these episodes as he held...

Congratulations! I haven't much to offer by way of advice but wanted to congratulate you - God bless! Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

Thank goodness! My DH and I have also reached a truce re his sister, who plans to have her baby in Ireland in August - the countdown begins. I'm very glad things are sorting themselves out! (((hugs))) again, Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

Hi Tammy, I really feel your pain. I’m going through a tough time myself with a dependent, live-in SIL who’s just told us she’s 5 months’ pregnant - I myself am nearly 4 months along! This has made me so depressed and worried about money etc.. , as if I wasn’t before. DH sees the whole...

CONGRATULATIONS ! Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

Thank you Thank you so very much for your advice and support. The situation is truly overwhelming right now and has caused a lot of confrontation with my DH over the weekend - it is extremely difficult with too many aspects to articulate in writing. It is all proving to be deeply painful for me...

Hello again, Rburke - you sound a lot like me! I too was a chronic insomniac and this has gotten worse since I got married! I too worried about the fact that I didn’t sleep anyway so how could I possibly cope with the demands of a child. Then I made some very simple changes - never having a...

The decision whether or not to have children and also when to have them is deeply personal for everyone. I too worried about a year ago that I would never feel ready to start a family. My DH was very relaxed about the whole thing, as men can afford to be I suppose! I’m now 28 and nearly 4 months...

Top 30 quirks 1. I HATE the smell of chewing gum - it makes me feel sick! 2. I cannot bear the sound of someone actually chewing gum either 3. I loathe the sight of chewed gum stuck onto anything 4. The smell and taste of mint makes me sick and I often wretch when brushing my teeth 5. I am...

I know - it is early - but the picture was very clear and the baby was constantly moving so the doctor made a calculated guess - 60% in favour of a girl! This might change by the next scan though..... :-) Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

LAST EDITED ON May-13-02 AT 10:58AM (Est)[p]DH and I are so happy and relieved - we had our 3 month scan this morning and everything is fine. Our little one was literally kick boxing and was so active, constantly moving. I now have 5 fibroids but none of them are near the cervix and the doctor...

That's wonderful news! I'm so glad you're alright and really hope the breast-feeding eases soon. I've heard that it can be extremely painful. ((((hugs)))) Your friend in fitness, Fitnik

Please vent away! LAST EDITED ON May-12-02 AT 04:29AM (Est)[p]People are unbelievably opinionated but I'm finally learning to ignore the comments and silly advice. A case in point - there's a 5km fun run coming up in 2 weeks time. I of course won't be running it but have planned to walk it with...

We are all different.... ...and that's absolutely fine! Do what you feel like doing and never feel obliged to do anything just because others are. This is something that I am finally learning at 28! People are very opinionated about many things including how you should feel, behave, act during...

There was an interview on UK morning tv yesterday with this lady (I think that’s her last name) following the reaction to a book she recently published in America - has anyone read it? I have ordered it although it’s not published here till the end of the month. She basically says that many...

It's nice to know in advance! Oh the debate over whether or not to find out the sex of the child - another hot issue when having a baby! I definitely want to know what our little on will be so I can buy the right colour clothes etc..! Congratulations on your discovery! Your friend in fitness...

I am constantly amazed at how totally different men and women are. Again, my pregnancy has highlighted so many differences! My DH is over the moon about the baby and has told some of his close male friends - he said they all say “Congratulations” and look slightly embarrassed then move quickly...
