  • Citalopram & Propanalol - Weight loss/Gain?

    I have just been put on a low dose of these drugs. I was on Lustral for a few months which helped but gave me the shakes and a 12lb weight gain! Before that i was on Prozac (high dose).

    Anyway i need to get this weight off but have heard that the Propanalol slows the heart rate down so makes exercise harder.

    Any advice??

    thanks

  • I want to start Strength training?

    I am looking at joining a body building gym as i want to get lean. I used to do Body Pump 4 times a week with cardio and managed to get my body fat down to 13%. My body looked great, Since then i have had 2 kids and put on and lost nearly 10 stone!

    My body type seems to be quite athletic and strong. I do alot of running but also press ups and use free weights. I really want to get ripped. I know that sounds daft but i really like the lean and strong look.

    Any ideas on where to start and what to do? High protien diet to lose the fat and build up muscle but other than that im lost.

    Thanks

  • Can i sue Kwik Fit for car damage?

    I took my 08 Fiat Punto into the garage to have the brakes checked. The car was fine so no work was needed to be done.

    When i went to collect my car the man lhad parked it very close to a wall. I got my two children into the car and then went to drive off slowely. What i had not realised was that the man had parked my car right behind a small bollord. There was no gap and it was on the passenger side so as i approched the car it was not visable. Anyway the damange done to the car has been valued at £1600 by my insurance company's choice of repair centre.

    Can i make a claim that they had parked my car in an unsafe place and this caused the damage? or is it just my fault?

    The manager of the garage said after that several people had done the same thing which seems strange to me. Can i make a claim that they negleted my car while it was on their property? Or am i just being silly? I will be claiming on my insurance for the damange caused.

    Any help would be great

  • Have you just had a baby? How do you feel?

    How are you feeling? Have you recovered yet from the birth?

    Do you feel up and down all the time? Missing anything now you are a new mum?

    My second son was born just over 3 weeks ago and my emotions are all over the place. One thing i cant wait for is to start exercising again though. Doing baby massage and just spending some alone time with baby really. Is there anything you cant wait to start doing again?

  • Castor Oil- Did it work for you?

    - no nasty comments please, just your experiences-

    How many weeks were you?

    Did it work and how long did it take to work?

    Did you try all the other natural things to bring on labour too?

  • Have my waters broke? Are they leaking?

    I'm 37w5days pregnant and had a sweep on Wednesday. Last night i woke up and my knickers were a bit wet. I dont think it was wee. I changed my pants and went back to bed. I feel kinda 'wet' down there. Is it possible that i could be leaking fluid?

    I also feel really crampy and my back hurts on and off. Has anyone had the same kinda thing?

    With my first my waters broke and gushed out but i just feel like mine might be leaking a bit?

  • 37weeks and midwife did a sweep today.....?

    Just looked in my notes and she wrote that my cervix is anterior and 1cm long. Also says i'm 1cm dilated.

    Can anyone tell me what it means? Does that mean my cervix is thinned out already? I did think i was in slow labour as id been having all the pains and signs since 36weeks.

    She did the sweep due to some other health problems. I had one with my first at 39weeks and he was born the next day. What are the chances that given as i'm dilating already the sweep with speed things up?

    Anyone had the same thing at 37weeks?

    Thanks

  • Will my midwife give me a sweep early?

    I'm 37weeks pregnant and i have got a chest infection. I also have bad asthma and due to the weather its got really bad. I have been put on a high dose steroid inhaler to help ease it.

    Because i'm pregnant i cant actually take anything to get the nasty stuff of my chest so i'm just coughing it up which is making me sick :-(

    Will be seeing my midwife on Wednesday and i'm hoping she will give me a sweep early to help move things along. I am already showing all the signs of slow/early labour anyway.

    Surely doing a sweep at 37 1/2 weeks would be fine. With my first i had one at 39weeks due to high blood pressure. My son came the next day so i'm hoping it will work that quick again.

    I'm just worried my asthma will get worse the longer i'm still pregnant.

    Anyone else had a sweep before the normal 40weeks?

  • My Braxton hicks have stopped?

    I am nearly 37weeks pregnant and since last week my braxtons have stopped.

    I have had really bad ones on and off since 16weeks and i just thought they would kinda get worse and id have more the closer i got to my due date.

    I have been having all the signs for slow/early labour tho and baby is 2/5th engaged. So do you think that my lower back ache, cramps and tiny tightening have replaced my really painful braxtons? It just seems strange that they have stopped :-(

    With my first i had them right up until i gave birth at 39weeks. I had been in slow labour for 2 weeks before too.

  • Playing the waiting game :-(?

    Is anyone else in the last stages of pregnancy and just so fed up?

    I have finished work now, have packed my hopsital bag and have everything ready for baby to arrive.

    What are you doing to pass the time until baby makes an apperance? I just seem to think every tiny twinge or cramp is the start of labour lol. I was never like this with my first. I was just happy to wait.

    This hot weather (in the UK) is not really helping either :-(

    How are you doing playing the waiting game?

  • am i in slow/early labour?

    I'm 36weeks pregnant with my second baby. Since Sunday (after having sex) i have been having the worst lower back pains, pelvic pain and cramps. It comes and goes tho. It feels like there is so much pressure down there sitting on the loo can hurt. At my last midwife app she said i was 2/5th engaged so i'm thinking baby may have dropped a bit lower too?

    The back/pelvic pain is so intense it wakes me up :-( i have been having the worst braxtons since 16weeks but now its all pain in my lower back and bum area. I have not had a really strong braxton since Sunday.

    Also getting tons of discharge, nice and clear and very stringy (sorry for TMI). Baby also seems to be very active. The movements hurt now tho which i know is normal. Oh i have also been having the runs for 5weeks on and off now.

    With my first i didn't have any contractions but my waters broke and i was 3cm when i got to the hospital without being in any pain. He was born at 39weeks. I must have been dilating for a bit before.

    I am seeing my midwife next week but what do you think?

    Thanks

  • Does Evening Primrose Oil really work?

    I have read that you can take it in capsule form, buy the oil to rub on your belly or insert it into your vagina.

    Did this work for anyone?

    If you do insert it is it safe?

    Thanks

  • Pain after sex at 36weeks pregnant?

    Ok so i had sex last night and after i had a really painful Braxton which lasted a while. (i do have them alot but this one lasted much longer than normal). Anyway i also have the worst back pain ever and lots of pelvic pain. I could hardly sit on the loo last night as the pressure down there was so bad.

    My son was 2/5th engaged last week but i did not have any pains before i had sex yesterday. Anyway the pains, like really bad period and pressure inside my lady bits and bum too lasted all night. I still feel a bit strange this morning too.

    Any ideas? has this happened to anyone else at this stage? Do you think its just made things a bit sore down there or if i continue to feel like this could it be the start of early labour maybe?

  • Second baby and i'm 3/5ths engaged already?

    Im nearly 36weeks and im just wanting to know if there is a chance baby will come a bit early given as he has dropped already?

    My midwife was suprised that he was engaged as your second dont always until labour. There is still a chance he can move back up though with your second so i know that.

    Anyone been in the same situation?

    My first son was engaged early and came at 39weeks.
