Chazza xx Baby born 7/11/09

Forgive me if i sound a little stupid but ive never used a slow cooker before and have a nice piece of braising steak to cook tommorrow and a new slow cooker.

My husband is a bit fussy - doesn't like onions or mushrooms or anything (anything healthy really!!) so i just want to know how to cook the beef on its own (he does like gravy though) - so how do i prep it? What do i put in with it? How long for? and what setting? (High or low)

Thanks in advance!! :-)

My baby is 11 months next week and still refuses to finger feed. He will eat almost anything and opens his mouth wide when i approach with any food but he will not feed himself just squeezes it in his hand and drops it on the floor or smears it in the tray. What can i do to encourage him?

Like other babies, he never really puts anything in his mouth (like nearly all babies do as a natural thing) - only his fingers!!! He still hasn't any teeth either!!

Thanks in advance

My phone is broken and need to buy a new one - not too expensive under £100 and one that works well with social networking sites like facebook?

Thanks

I'm looking to buy a new mobile phone (in the UK) with a good interface for using facebook. My old mobile has just broken and couldn't do much with facebook as the phone wasn't very internet browser friendly.

I don't want to spend more than £100 - been looking at the Sony Ericsson Elm - which looks ok but not sure - any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!

My baby is 11 weeks old and is a very good baby normally. he had his 8 week injections the other day (postponed from 8 week due to the snow). However, since the injection he keeps having crying episodes and not feeding as well (usually 7oz - leaving 2oz each time) - he's not himself and was wondering if this is normal and how long it will last.

It's heartbreaking to listen to him cry like that. He usually sleeps through the night 9pm til 9am but last night was crying constantly - only sleeping around 15 mins at a time!!

Did your babies do this? Ive read that some are a bit nangy a short =while after - but it is 2 days now xxx

My baby is 8 and a half weeks old and i am keen to start back on the pill- my GP prescribed me back on Microgon 30 and i am a bit confused as to what he was saying - i asked him if i should wait for my period to come back (still not started) and he just told me to start the pill whenever i want to start having sex. If i start the pill -am i protected straight away? Or should i just wait for my period to return?

Don't wanna end up pregnant again - Not for a little while anyway, lol)

Im 39 Weeks pregnant tomorrow and am playing the watiitng game for meeting our first baby ,

In your experience, did sex work to start off labour? If not, did anything work? Is it all myths? My hubby is keen to try, lol!!!

I am 37weeks+5days preganant and still the baby's head is only at the brim. My pelvis is aching so now worried that my pelvis is too small!

I also worry that im going to go over my due date now :(

When did your baby's head engage and how soon after did you go into labour (first pregnancy)?

Thanks in advance

If you choose to bottle feed your baby, does the breast milk go away by itself - do you need to take any medication?

Thanks

I was at Ante Natal class last night and the midwife said the pushing stage can be up to 2 hours!!!

How long was your pushing stage - and what postition was your body in?

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and scared to death of giving birth.

Im just trying to prepare myself mentally and physically so am interested in your answers and tips to make it more of an 'enjoyable' experience, lol!!

Thanks in advance

When i have a smear test - the pain is unbearable when the use the speculum instrument. In addition, after getting pains a couple of weeks ago, I had an internal examination atthe hospital which again was unbearable and only I just managed to get through it. The midwife said i was really tensing but didn't know how to stop myself.

In addition, when it comes to birth, I am petrified - i know i will have to have more internal examinations.

I am quite good at handling any other type of pain - it's just the feeling of my lady bits being being ripped apart. Is giving birth the same kind of horrible feeling (obviously multiplied) or a different kind of pain?

What's your claim to fame?

I've never really met anybody famous, apart from Wigan Rugby players and people like that, lol!

I'm such a baby with needles and keep getting worked up about going for my anit-d injection in a couple of days. Does it hurt in your arm?

I am really rubbish with the blood injections too - always jump when the needle goes in - i 'jumped' the needle out of my vein last time!!!

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi, im 27 weeks pregnant. Last week I went to hospital with upper abdo pains - really sharp. It turned out to be a urine infection so was given antibiotics and painkillers. They wanted to keep me in cause of the pain but i said i'd be fine at home.

Was starting to get better but when i woke Thursday - I had really bad vertigo type dizziness. I couldn't walk or see straight and have improved since but still have it and it's really getting me down. The room spins and my head bangs whenever i first lie down, move my head (while lying down), bend down or move my head fast.

Other than that feel really tired and 'not with it'. Im back in work this week - but it's killing me to keep going. Im scared to ask for more time off. Is it normal to feel like this and how can i make myself feel better?

Me and my husband are lookign to go away for a weekend in a couple of weeks for our anniversary. We usually go Blackpool but want a change. We like seaside resorts with things to do (similar to Blackpool). I am pregnant so can't do anything too mad - but just things to do in the day - and not too expensive.

I don't fancy driving too far either - 3 hours max - we live in Wigan, North West of England.

Thanks in advance

I'm 15 weeks now and can't wait to feel the baby moving. When should I expect to feel it moving?

It is my first xxxx

Hi, Im 14 weeks pregnant and was wondering when I will receive an exempt card to get free dental treatment. Do I get it from the midwife? I am due at the dentist soon for a check-up.

Thanks in advance

Apart from free nhs dental care and the £190 pregnancy grant - is there any other financial benefits?

I'm only 11 weeks pregnant and already worrying about the money side!!

We both work full time at the moment.
