I could be wrong but I thought you had to eat in the same way as you do when pregnant, so no alcohol, caffeine, runny/raw eggs, soft cheeses etc.
Millem I've been so lucky so far, I had about a week of extreme sinus pain, to the point I was in tears because I couldn't take anything for it, but otherwise, nothing. I can't imagine how hard it must be to suffer migraine during pregnancy and not be able to take anything.
O god no! That stops once uve had baby! They say caffeine isn't good tho or spicey found can irritate baby. And obviously don't drink when breast feeding (one is fine tho)... But all the other stuff is fine

The nurse at my booking in appointment made me feel so wrong for choosing to bottle feed but it's water off a ducks back really
Whispered I tried to breast feed on my first and could not get my head around it or manage it at all,none of my family have ever breastfed so I didn't have that encouragement, help or support. When he got very jaundiced the nurses began to encourage me to bottle feed so I had to give up. It takes a strong minded woman to do it, and I have the up most respect for any that do breast feed.
This time around, I'm gonna be a single mam, so my situation is not perfect, the thoughts of breastfeeding too,not a chance,ill be glad to hand a baby and a bottle to every visitor that arrives

I doubt ibuprofen would do much for that insane epidural headache, tbh. I think it is due to a pressure change if some of the spinal fluid leaks a bit, so might be a different kind of pain. I've heard that the main treatment is a blood patch (putting a small amount of your own blood into the epidural space, probably to bring up the fluid pressure).
Yes she had to get that blood patch done but they didn't do it till a week later
I find nurofen express max (or whatever it's name)amazing for pain etc I wanted to take it instead of my difene after the birth! The crazy headaches were unreal but would you believe she would get an epidural again!!! 0 -

I thought that too? But she tells me it's different? I don't know anything about epidurals as I never had one. I think the statistics are like 3%/8% or something like that for there to be a problem like she had.
Those are low % alright. I've never had one either, just going by what the anesthesia talk told us. As the chances of getting it are so low anyway, perhaps it is better to just agree with her, no point worrying her over something that may not even happen 0 -

Oh gosh yeah! She was getting a bit thick with me when I was like "how is it different !!".0 -

You should also take into consideration the fact that if you are on the pill, it can take quite a while after stopping before you ovulate again. In my case, it was almost a year and then nearly another 2 before I became pregnant . Then again, you could ovulate and fall pregnant straight away Like the others said, is there ever a perfect time to have a baby? Neither of us are what I would call financially stable but the way we reckoned it was that both of our parents reared their families while earning less and if they could manage then so could we

Fair play to you, I'm on the pill and have been for 6 years or so.
I know it can take time... just so weird to not take my pill.... the control you have over your body is gone and your just hoping for the best!0 -

Thanks all,
I figured these thoughts were so worrying that there must be something my body is telling me... like it's not gonna happen!!
I've been taking my pill properly but still feeling down when I get my period... at this point in my life... after all them years trying to avoid it... an accidental pregnancy would be amazing !!!!!
I admire you all for sticking with it, I know the wait would get me down, I'm sure it wasn't easy.0 -
