Hello' I currently work 21hours per week, and live with my partner. We have a child together, but we have separate bank accounts. Can I apply for working tax credits??? thanks for all replies...

I gave birth 9weeks ago and my beautiful angel has been the best thing that has ever happened. However I am increasingly disturbed abt negative thoughts which are plauging me at the moment. I love my daughter,partner and family more than life itself but I have awful thoughts about them dying or sayin in my head I wish them dead but then I cry because I do not mean it and do not know why I am saying it in my head. It is driving me crazy and constantly cry because I do not know why mt head is saying these terrible things. Itotally adore my daughter and am overly obsessiv over her worrying and ensuring she isnt going to die etc. I am obssessed that she is going to die from cotdeath and constantly wake up with hysteria that she is dead!!!! I feel I am cracking up why would my head wish her dead but this would rip me apart if somethng did happen to her....am I suffering post natal stress??? I appreciate any advice. Thanks

I am finding that she is going long through the night without a feed for eg the other night she was fed at 10.30 and slept thru til 6am (my partner actually woke her to feed). I am woundering if this is normal, she is taking 160mls throughtout the day.

Would it be okay to now stop the extra folic acid I have been taking a day along with the 400mg I take in Pregnacare tablets? I am hoping to just continue with the 400mg pregnacare. Thanks all.

I am just wondering if any of you out there who have had children exercised throughout your pregnancy? Did it make the birth easy and did you recover quite quickly? I am hoping that it will be beneficial to both myself and my child, it is my 1st child so as u can imagine I am quite nervous about the whole thing. many thanks for your answers. ;-D

I am still managing to keep up easy exercise but I could only manage 25mins of exercise due to the severe lower abdominal pains I was experiencing. The baby is still active, so I am not concerned there. Any idea what these pains could have been? They have eased upnow I am home,

of problems occuring such as the cord being wrapped around the baby's neck etc. How common is this and can anything be done to prevent it from happening? Thanks

I keep hearing horror stories about women losing a baby in late pregnancy. I am terrified about this of course as I amapproaching 3rd trimester. Is it rare to loose a child so late? I am constantly worrying. Thanks

This terrifies me... as I thought these figures had dropped over the years. I know the risk of haemorraging etc...I do what I can to ensure I keep well during pregnancy. I have health issues such as chronic asthma and allergies. I am still exercising regularly; going to the gym, jogging and swimming. I do have heart palpatations at mo which is being investigated. I have only gained weight aroung the stomach area and nowhere else. Is there anyway I could ease these anxieties?

Many thanx in advance.

I am coming up to 15weeks, was extremelly fit before pregnancy and had to rest during the first 12 weeks due to physical exhaustion. I am now feeling better and am starting back at the gym and running. My question is I have always been able to run long distances and do short interval training etc, I have slowed down my running pace and my milegae, but is it safe to continue with 5 mile runs with hills etc? Just would like to know what is safe, many thanks in adv.

Or just normal food cravings? Mine is salty food and I have gone off chocolate.

I am just wondering if there are any charities I can run for where you do not have to pay a registeration fee? Most I have looked at are asking for a £30-45 reg fee. I would rather not give Brendan Foster any money and raise the cash for a more worthy cause.

Thank in advance.

Been suffering for a while now with the above as well as being allergic to fragranced skin care etc. I have really bad bouts of attacks, I have tried alsmost everything to help inc prescribed antibiotics which I am still taking and prescribed washes and creams, Most of the prescribed care doesnt seem to work. I have been recommended sulphur 30c tablets which I am guna take and also Eucerin face cream. Is there any type of oil or other creams etc I could try? I have also used Acene which I find makes my condition worse, i also have tried dermol, aqueous cream, E45, Eczamol and so on. I am literally @ the end of my teather now, could any 1 recommended anything? Oh also Roscea gel doesnt work either!! Thanx in advance.

but I want to know if any1 has tried it before and what the results were like. I have roscea and other issues going on with my skin, I can not exfoliate so I have an uneven skin tone and was wondering if this would help.

Thanks in advance ;-)

Tried to get tickets for the last 1 and failed miserably.

I have the most painful uncomfortable pain in my right shin, which when I touch my shin feels very sore and bruised. I know its as a result of running and interval runs on the treadmill, I recently bought some new running shoes so I know its not a result of bad trainers. Whats the proper treatment of shin splints without having to give up my running?

Thanks for any advice.

I have done everything to get another job, but the way the economy is @ present I am getting nowhere!! I have even tried agencies!!! I have always worked from the age of 16 when I was studying at school, college and the uni and have excellent experience and good qualifications. As u can understand I am in bit of a stressed state as I don't know where to turn for support if it comes to March and I still have no work. I have a mortgage so I am worried about losing my house and so on. Does any1 know if there is any help out there for honest people who have never had to rely on the state for handouts. Can anybody please advise?!? I am even trying to sell or rent my house, which is proving extremelly difficlut. Thanx for any advice.

I do a lot of running, gym work, martial arts etc, but I have been expereincing shooting pains up into my pelvis area when I sprint. It does not happen everytime I run, just occasionaly, I also have pains shooting dwn from pelvis. Any 1 else experience this or know whta it may be.

THANKS.

Would it upset you, and how would you react?......

I had my blood tested last week as I have serious allergies nd chronic asthma and have been very exhausted for some time now. The surgery has told me that I need it re-doing as my blood count was "a bit out". What does this mean as I am worried.

Many thanks.
