As I write this I am all ready and packed to take my wee girl to hospital to have her hernia repaired. Not a pleasant experience. She has …

About Me
I am 27 years old, married and a stay at home mum to a new baby. I am trying to lose the weight I gained from pregnancy (and to be honest the year before pregnancy). I am not ready to join the gym yet, I may do when my daughter is a few months old. I do take the buggy out for a walk when I can and am looking at getting some exercise DVDs so I have no excuse not to exercise over winter. I could do with some 'company' while working towards my goal weight. Although I joined this site for support while I lost weight I have found it comforting to deal with the struggles I deal with after having my son (stillborn). I prefer to talk about this with friends only as I still find it very tough to face most days. I find the strength the members on here show as well as the support they are able to give each other completely amazing. My heart goes out to all of those people who have lost a child.

Thank you so much for posting your ideas to cope with loss. I think they will be very helpful to many people. I noticed that your loss was 14 months ago. I am so sorry that you have had to go through this. I am sad that any of us have. I was wondering if you had any advice on how to make it through the first birthday. My son's is quickly approaching and I am afraid that I am going to have a hard time with it. I already plan to take the day off of work and go to the cemetery to place some stuff on it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hug
just checking in on you.. hope you are well.

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
Treatments
- Counting Calories Working / Worked
- Seems to be working-makes me accountable to what I put in my mouth
- Curves Working / Worked
- Worked for me in the past, just annoying that where I live it's closed in the evenings and weekends, has no childcare and I have a baby! Am thinking I'll join again in a few months depending on our financial situation and if I can find someone to babysit (and then there's dragging myself away from my gorgeous newborn)
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Have cut out junk food, feeling better but don't know if I'm looking any better.
- Jenny Craig Not Working
- Tried years ago-too expensive
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Walking daily and waiting for some exercise dvds to arrive as it's winter here and getting a bit cold to go out somedays
- Xenical Working / Worked
- Used reductil, was great and I'd use it again if I wasn't breastfeeding and not working. Had a great anti-depressant effect too which was a bonus
Close Stillbirth
year ago this month my darling son was stillborn after my waters ruptured early.I was in hospital hoping and praying he would make it for 3 weeks before his birth.The day before the doctors decided he was big enough to help,his umbilical cord slipped through the tear in my membranes and his blood supply was cut off.I now have a newborn daughter, I was obsessed with getting pregnant as soon as physically possible. She is beautiful and my little life-saver but I still hurt for my son every day.
Open Parenting Newborns & Infants (0-1)
Mum to a beautiful 7 week old girl, 6 weeks prem. Second baby, our first son was stillborn. A very anxious mum, I worry about losing this baby too.
Treatments
- Breast Feeding Working / Worked
- Using nipple shield sometimes as this was the only way I could breast feed as bubby was prem, she's growing well so I think that means it's working. Wish I could enjoy it more, getting there though.
Open Depression Supporters
Husband with depression. Currently on medication. Has his ups and downs. It's hard as I also have a young baby and feel that as much as I need to support my husband I need to protect and nurture my baby more. He can be quite draining at times and when he is having a bad time I feel like an awful parent.
Treatments
- Crying Not Working
- It doesn't seem to help. It really upsets me that a man that wants so much support doesn't seem to give a shit when he finally breaks me down into tears.
- Patience Somewhat Helpful
- What can I do but be patient?
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- I find it helpful to talk to his support worker.
Open Inguinal Hernia
Mother of a baby with an umbilical hernia (fixing itself quicker than I expected), and now an inguinal hernia which will be fixed by a small surgery. I'm quite nervous about the procedure she will be having. She is 4 months old at the moment.
