Hello all....

I'm a feature writer for a national newspaper and am looking for three ladies to be featured in a spread I'm writing.

We'd like to do a positive, uplifting piece about, for instance, a woman who gave up a stressful city job in order to try to conceive, someone who abandoned a strict diet/exercise regime to put on weight and get pregnant and someone who gave up their party lifestyle to have a baby.

I'm also open to other suggestions about what was 'given up' if you, or someone you know has a slightly different story?

The ladies must have given up their 'thing' to GET pregnant - not BECAUSE they were pregnant.


It would be a very straight forward, nice re-telling of the person's story and involve about 30 mins interview time. You/they would also get professional shots done of mum and baby/kids.


Can pay expenses though there isn't likely to be any - in most cases I can do a phone interview and the photographer will be sent to the home address.


Really hope there are some doting mums with fun, uplifting tales to tell of their quest to get pregnant, who will get in touch!

Pm me if so.

Many thanks.


Penny.

The best thing i found that helped me get pregnant was giving up alcohol 3 months prior to falling pregnant, i was on a 12 week training programme for the 'Run to the beat' half marathon!! I found out i was pregnant a week before the half marathon, but still ran it, me and my embryo (i was 6 weeks pregnant) completed the half marathon in 2 hours 12 mins...such an amazing buzz!! :))

My old boss tried for many years to get pregnant, through natural and assisted means. Finally, she packed in her job to give it her full attention, and lo and behold at around 45, she managed it. I will try and see if I can get in touch with her.

i saw an acupuncturist to get pregnant who had a bit of a holistic view of trying to conceive so the list was endless - booze (of course), pork, any processed food, any spicy food, citrus fruit, seafood, the list was endless! and i was only allowed to eat organic. worked though.....

      Highly Recommended Painter / Decorator - Temi

      By tombo83 · Posted

      I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you. Temi - 07784 289024

      Up the reform

      By diable rouge · Posted

      ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
