I was thinking about that in the back of my mind to be honest. Thank you! Still have to rule out a pregnancy though.

Hi, I have regular periods and keep good track of my cycles. As this month approached, I had all my regular pms symptoms but my period is now 2 days late. Haven't done a pregnancy test yet but I wondered if anyone has experienced this to be normal? I'm 39. We have 2 children and before I found out about each pregnancy I had no symptoms and just felt my usual self. Starting to get a bit worried as this is unusual for me. Will take a test on Monday if my period has not arrived but if anyone has any similar experience or can advise me I would be very grateful xx

Hi If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated. I struggle to find sunglasses to fit my face as its small and slim. In the summer I ordered a pair of Rayban kids Wayfarer sunglasses in the hope that they would fit but they were too tight! I have even looked online and measured my face before ordering the kids size sunglasses. If anyone knows of a retailer or company that I could purchase small size glasses from I'd be grateful to hear from you. Getting rather annoyed with the sun in my face when pushing my baby in the buggy! I know there are bigger problems in the world at the moment but if anyone can help thanks in advance.

Hi. I was diagnosed with a mild cyctocele prolapse (uterine) some time in 2015. Was referred to King's College and had a women's group session where they basically told you to do pelvic floor exercises for the rest of your life. I had my first child in 2012 and I am currently pregnant(6 and a half months). At the start of my pregnancy I did express concern to my GP regarding the prolapse and giving birth but she said it wouldn't be a problem. I have taken a look at it today in the mirror and it appears to be pushed out a lot more further than it was before. I don't have any problems with leaking urine, but I am really concerned that I won't be able to give birth naturally. I am still working and actually wonder if it is now time to stop and take care of myself as I work with toddlers and it's very physical. I will see my GP on Monday and I also have a midwife appointment at the end of the month, but until then I just wanted to know if anyone has had a similar experience and was able to give birth. Thank you.

I like the suggestion of her using the drops on me-will give it a go. I have been worried about my other half's temper for a while- he's had a rough 6 months as he's been unable to work. It's a main factor but still concerns me and I have suggested he gets help as he can't see his own mistakes. Hope to have success tomorrow with the eye drops. Thank you so much xx

Thank you for your advice. Yes the struggles and upset certainly took over the main focus of the dry eyes. Much appreciated.

Hi. Nice advice. The day was soured by this event. Thank you.

Hi all Desperate for help. Our 4 year old has dry eyes and has been prescribed eye drops. However it is impossible to treat the problem as she is scared of the drops going into her eyes. I had success on the first day-she was co-operative but didn't like the feeling of the drops in her eyes so since then it's been impossible. I have tried the incentives of sweet treats,or lack of sweet treats if she doesn't have the eye drops. Tonight was awful. I began with the gentle approach then got slightly agitated so my hubby took over. This resulted in him trying the gentle approach but then having to restrain her physically/shouting/smacked bottom. On top of this he bagged up most of her toys (some of which got smashed in the process) with the threat of the toys being thrown out if she doesn't have the eye drops. This was the last straw for me and I am digusted with him. He needs help in my opinion (am I over reacting?). Little one obviously traumatised by the whole episode. I even tried again after she realised her toys were on the verge of being thrown out but she was not having it at all. She has gone to bed crying and I am upset with the pair of them-more so my hubby. I seriously think he needs help and I need a way to get the little one to take the eye drops. Whole weekend ruined-HELP!

Probably easy to say > and a made up word that wouldn't get muddled up > with anything else. Yes I agree with having a made up word that wouldn't be muddled up with anything else. Thought about 'Minnie' and then realised that it could get muddled up with Minnie mouse!

Hi all, Really odd question I know, but I am in need of advice. My daughter is 3years old and she calls her female genital area her 'bottom'. I haven't yet corrected her as I feel that I need to have a suitable/child friendly name for it. As a little girl I called it my 'mini-moo'. Looks hilarious now that I have seen it in written form! Just thought I'd put it out there and find out how other mums have termed it for their daughter. Thanks in advance

Thank you.

Discovered that we have a mouse-fills me with absolute dread! Anyone know where to buy a trap and wire wool?
