Did you give something up to try for a baby?

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.....

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Rockets · Posted

      Have you complained to the solicitor directly and did they respond within the 8 weeks they have under their code of conduct - I presume they have and this is why you have escalated further to the SRA? If he doesn't respond in a timely fashion per the SRA code of conduct then I am sure they will need to take action.

      Where can you smell Wood Burning stoves in East Dulwich

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      What a bunch of ignorant nimbies.  Their own tweet conspicuously ignores the actual content of their own article FFS. Immediately after the incorrect paragraph quoted about it being unlawful to burn coal wood etc they sit out the actual position:   "However, the use of authorised smokeless fuels in an open fireplace is allowed, as well as burning smoke-generating fuels in an approved stove or burner."   leaving that out is as thick as flying into the amazon rainforest on a private jet to attend Cop 31 thus week.

      UPDATE FOUND!!

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      I had to pull this cat back from speeding traffic as she was almost clipped - TWICE -  by passing motorbikes on Underhill Rd. Needless to say, I was seething that anyone would let this cat out onto the streets, specially a street that I struggle to cross myself. When I initially approached her, I thought she had already been injured. By some miracle, she wasn't, she was just paralyzed by fear. Do NOT let this cat out onto the streets.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      Are there any other executors? Is the solicitor a soke practioner or part of a firm? Are you and your fellow beneficiaries behaving well?  You will want to take proper  legal advice (which this is not) but you can have an executor removed by the court if they are refusing to communicate with you. I would just do that. Tell him you are doing it, tell him you have reported him to the Law Society (if you have) and tell him you will be challenging his fees with the legal services ombudsman. This all sounds outrageous to me and this solicitor doesn't sound fit to practice. Three years sounds far too long for a low value estate comprising mostly of a house. He should have sold that or rented it out whilst he was waiting to administer the estate.    Sounds like he has cost you all a lot of money.
