Hey everyone. With much sadness we are going through a miscarriage. Tuesday they've booked me in to have the small op to remove the remains. I was just wondering how it felt for those that have had the same? I have three other children from vaginal births and (no I'm not bragging) I didn't have pain relief any of the times. I'm simply stating it as I'm not new to pain. I was wondering what to expect after the operation? How is the bleeding and what should I expect to feel? Apart from empty of course...😪 Thanks for any answers

We have recently found out we are expected our fourth child. After two boys and a girl I have the feeling this is a boy..but who knows 😊 I m running out of boys names though!!! We like something classic but not too used (we have an alek a Noah( it wasn t popular when we named him) and our daughter delilah) thanks for any suggestions!!

Of course people will say "because it's your parents and they put you into the world" I understand that. But what if, like me, you are given worthless ones? Mine have failed miserably, and frankly since Im now a parent myself I really realise the extent of their bad job. They were violent to each other, my mother was an alcoholic. They lied about whom was my biological father for 16 years, allowing me to believe it was my sisters father when in actual fact it wasn't. Along with generally being non existent when it came to comforting..and even now after years they have the audacity to say "we have been good parents. Our consciences are clean. It's you that has a chip on your shoulder" my sister (having been brought up with her real dad in the house) has been obviously treated differently. She is one of them and at 22 years of age she has no social life. She spends her time with them and has no friends, like they have none either. I'm the bad one. I chose child care and I was told it was a worthless path to follow. They stopped talking to be for 3 years until I eventually moved to live with my grandad. My sister chose care home work and yet they are pleased. Now I'm left asking myself "why do I keep putting up with this? Why do they still make me feel guilty? Why am I no able to move on without them?" I live abroad now and once I stopped calling every week we speak once a month if that..

Ok so I've narrowed the names down to two!:) thanks of course to those on here that commented my previous post..now I'm tallying up a survey on these to pick the best! The middle name is Noelle as she's a Christmas baby! Thanks guys!

Which do you prefer out of the three? The middle name will be Noel given she is due around Christmas..thanks guys!

I'm looking for a classic girls name that isn't overused. I really want a 'proper' name that isn't one of these new age ones. I'm in love with the name Delilah..what do you think?

I'm searching for classic girls names..that's aren't too popular..thanks for the help!:)

I have two sons and this time we will find out the sex at the birth. I have no idea what kind of names I'm after except one for a boy and one for a girl! So...fire ahead! Thanks!!

Am I the only one shocked at people having children and then leaving at very small ages (under 4/5) to go on holidays as couples? I mean..I know people that prayed for children and then seemed they couldn't wait until they were a few months old to leave them and go away for the weekend!! I'm left asking what the point in having kids if they aren't part of your free time? I have left my children for an evening on occasions, but I wouldn't dream of going away for days! Holidays are for families as far as I'm concerned..

I'll start by saying that me and my mother have never had the best of relationships. She lacked on many fronts as a mother and I learned to resent her over the years..she lied to me about whom my father was for 16 years, was an alcoholic for 6 of them amongst other issues..however for the past year or so I've tried to forgive and forget and we seemed to get along better. I suppose we all need to feel wanted and close to our parents, so I tried my hardest to to achieve that in order to fill in that emptiness. We found out recently that we are expecting our third child and I called and told her. I made it very clear it was to be kept secret until we had had all the tests run and knew all was ok. She promised..but a week later I found out she had called around and told everyone. I was livid. I called her very upset and told her she was out of line. She mumbled and stuttered not knowing what to say and I told her I had to go ( I wanted to avoid a full blown argument) I hoped in some stupid way that she would call and apologies or try and sort things..it's been a week and she hasn't. I'm sure she thinks she's right as she always does...but I'm thinking, if I call her am I playing into her game? Or am I being the bigger person?

We have recently found out we are expecting our third child. We wanted to keep it to ourselves until we had seen the gynecologist to make sure all was ok. However..as many parents will know it's so hard not to!! So I told my mum and she swore I keep it secret. I also made it very clear to het that two members in particular I wanted to keep it from as we aren't on good terms although she is. With her "of course you can trust me!! I'm your mum!! If you can't tell me who can you tell??" Last night I found out she's called round and told most people..I'm fuming! I feel she betrayed our trust and not to mention rained on our parade, am I stupid in feeling like this?

We are trying to sway for a girl and so I've tracked my cycle ect. However, we had sex last night when the ovulation strip was negative ( I'm supposed to ovulate on the 21st) however I've done a ovulation test today and it's positive. Would this be too close to ovulation to have swayed successfully? Thanks ;)

Hey ladies I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me?! Me and my husband are trying for a third child. Both my first and second were conceived straight away with not much thought (although both planned and wanted :) ) this time round due to work reasons we've had to pin point our fertile window. Through calculations I'm due to ovulate around the 21st although this evening I've had a sharp pain in my left side (which I've not had before) we had sex on the 15th and was wondering if this sounds more like an ovulation pain or if anyone had this feeling during implantation..despite supposedly not due to ovulate until a few days from now? Although I'm aware it may have happened sooner. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what worked for you when it came to depression? I'm looking for non drug cures as I would rather not be dosed up on medication. I have two children to look after..this isn't the first time I have felt this way and frankly I just need someone to tell me that there are ways to help!I'm tired of feeling like the day is too long, when I'm so lucky to have a loving husband and two healthy children. I feel selfish that I could even begin to feel down..and yet it creeps up on me at regular intervals during my life and I'm just so fed up. I'd love to wake up in the morning and feel serene, instead of having anxiety attacks that take my breath away. I feel like I don't want to see anyone and holding down stable friendships has become impossible. I alienate myself from fear I'll just feel worse after. I know I'll just go home and obsess over 'I shouldn't have said this' or 'I shouldn't have done that' and I hate myself. So I avoid it altogether. I've tried counseling but where I live it's very expensive. Any tips or personal stories would be much appreciated. Thank you
