I'm just looking for some ideas...
I had NOT wanted to take pictures of myself (or have them taken) when I was
pg with DD (I had 1 picture with DS1 and 2 pictures with DS2) but, for some
reason this time, I REALLY want to take (lots of) pictures of myself...

stats from February at our local hospital, 62% spontaneous vaginal delivery
for first time mums, unfortunately I don't have the split of c-sections,
forceps, ventouse etc for the remaining 38%. I thought this was a pretty

Due to my history of postnatal depression I am still seeing a psychiatrist
regularly and so far I've been free of any depressive illness, though I
remain on medication, whether this has been preventative, or whether I would
have been fine anyway, who knows!

I've never used one or had one... I have a friend who was 5 weeks behind me

Any comments about these maternity support belts?  Do they actually ...
