This is my first question here, so I hope it comes across ok!
I am 24 weeks pregnant. This is my first baby, but my 5th pregnancy
following 4 early miscarriages.
When I was 19 I had to have a lumbar puncture which went badly wrong. I am

I wonder if anyone else has been in any similar positions to the way I am
feeling right now.

I'm trying to set a bedtime routine for Emily-Rose. I'm not too sure if she is too young to be set this but I need my bed back !!

I have a question on checks doctors do to see how much you're dilated.
I had my 35th week appointment this Tuesday and he checked to see if I
am dilated. It was an extremely uncomfortable experience, and painful
and just plain awful. He found out that I am over 2 cm dilated. After

I can only apologise for the grossness of my question but can someone
please tell me if there is a difference between a 'show' (bloody or

We had Taylor's appointment with the Neurologist on Tuesday, and overall, it
went well.  The Neurologist took her entire history again, including
birthfamily stuff as well as what actually happened in the days preceding
her seizures, and the day of the seizures.  He was a really ...

Just (another) update on how things are going here...
