Should we find the gender of the baby?
Hubby and I found out that were pregnant with our first child in March 2010. It was one of the happiest and scariest days of our lives. Even after three pregnancy tests I still could hardly believe that I was carrying a person inside of me. At the first scan, when the date of delivery was confirmed I convinced hubby that we should not find out the sex of the baby.
Depression
When I unexpectedly fell pregnant with my second child a lot began to change for me. Not only did we have to find a new house, & did I have to give up the job I loved, but I faced a struggle worse than any I’d experienced throughout my life: depression.
Taking Your Premature Baby Home
My little boy, Joseph, is nearly 3. He loves doing things that all three your old boys love, playing with cars, going to the park, making towers. It’s hard to believe that when he was born, he weighed 1lb 7oz. He was born at 27 weeks gestation.

Travelling with your baby
You’ve only just begun to get used to having your baby at home and suddenly there is a need for you to travel somewhere – further than the local supermarket. How will you get there, what do you need to take and will you survive?
Early pregnancy worries of a first time mum-to-be
I remember when my OH & I started talking about having a baby I worried about everything. I worried how I would cope with a baby and I’d feel really self conscious having a massive belly and working in a mostly male office. One day I phoned him, on the point of hysteria as I’d seen mums walking their kids to school “how will we manage to get our kids to school – we both work, we can’t start work at 9.30…..”
