Welcome to the Honest Mums website!
This site is run by a bunch of mums and dads who want to give you honest opinions about parenthood; the highs and lows and the things that might help make yours and your baby's lives a little easier.
The site features reviews of baby and child related products, baby blogs where parents, and parents to be, can keep a diary of their experiences, and of course the Honest Mums forum, where site members can chat with and get support from other parents.
With Honest Mums we are trying to build a community that can contribute to the site, chat with other parents and provide help and support. To help us do this please register for the site using the link on the left or by simply clicking here. Registering for the site will allow you to comment on articles or reviews, vote in polls or post in our forums.
Thanks for visiting our site, we look forward to your contribution!

Well after a lot of heartache, heartburn and fake contractions
we finally have our second child! Rosemary was born on the 11th April (38+3) weighing an impressive 9lb4oz. I started using a homestudy hypnobirthing course and it made my birth experience this time such a positive one I can't wait to do it all over again (once I've convinced hubby of course
) I managed 15 hours of contractions on paracetamol and one dose of codeine, got in the pool for two hours

In the words of one of my favourite boyzone songs (yes i know you can roll your eyes) its weeks, days, hours, minutes till he'll be home!! I can't believe how quickly time has flown, I re-read what i wrote after hubby had been away for 5 weeks and I was seriously wondering how i would cope for another 11 weeks or so, but here I am on the Final Countdown.

we are 5 weeks into to hubby's 16 week tour! in some ways it seems to have gone quickly and in others its been like a lifetime!!! last time i blogged i was having a hard time (the post disappeared) but another week down and its getting better we are slowly getting a good routine and they love nursery which is helping! they made me cry today but not in a bad way ... we were walking home from nursery and some jets took off and they shouted bye bye daddy go to the penguins see you soon ... i guess they are slowly coming to terms with it!!

It's been a long time since I did a blog entry
so I figured it was about time I did one.
I am now 15 weeks pg with number 2. We had an awful first scan where we were told it was all over again, I drank lots of wine and cried a lot. They found the baby 4 days later. Then I had a small bleed at 8 weeks which put the fear of God into me, but again all wa okay, and at the 11 week scan we had caught up and our dates were spot on!
So we are due on the 22nd April, so an Easter baby. I can't wait, we are both really excited
