Hi, guys. I was here quite a few years ago with my first baby, and lo,
I'm about 13 weeks on now and back. And wah wah I need to know if
anyone has been through anything like what I'm seeing now!

really how things are, or am I mistaken? And if so, why is it that

I am 4.5 months along and have developed extremely dry skin.  I didn't have
dry skin with pregnancy #1.  In fact, I have never in my life experienced

Well, what goes around, comes around I guess, because it's happening to me!
I've cross stitched for the first time in years, I've made ...

Today I was very distubed when I witnessed a young person being sold a
bottle of white lightning in a local shop, does anybody know who this needs
to be reported to and if there is a website ect, I am in the UK.

I know that sleeping on the left side is the best position for months 4
through 12.  I try my hardest to stay that way all night, but end up having
to switch and sleep on my right due to my left leg cramping up.  Is it
really bad to sleep on the right side for any length of time? ...
