Hi - I posted in another thread about whooping cough a couple of days ago. Maybe in Health & Healing? My child had very similar symptoms to yours, but the doctor said it wasn't severe enough to be whooping cough. He would have...

I get this too from my 4 and 6 year olds and I quite like the spirit of it, so I take it in good humour. I explain that it's true, and that when they're older they'll be able to make all of their own decisions. Until then, my job as...

Oh my goodness - what a story! Well done mama and welcome to your beautiful baby.

38 weeks here.  DS1 came at 40+1 and DS2 came at 42, so not expecting any early arrivals...   I'm not sure if it's good or bad really, but I have so little time to focus on this pregnancy. I run my own business and I have...
