I never used bounty when carrying my ds but this time i am addicted to it and I have found out so much I didn't know and had embarrasing questions answered without being too embarrased to ask them.

I have also made friends on here and you don't find them by sitting at home and reading about pregnancy and labour from a book.

I will pop on from time to time after lo arrives but probs will be a bit busy as have ds and lo plus christmas as well but I hope not to lose touch altogether

i'm not even that keen on the pregnancy books, i find them too strict and as though we have to do everything by the rules if you know what i mean plus they make it seem really easy when in reality i bet it's not as simple as they make out!

Yea I wouldn't have a clue!!

All my dreams that the stork brings my baby and places it on my lap have been shattered!!!

On a serious note - wouldn't have known about bleeding afterwards, or leaky boobs OR the dreaded T word.. (tearing!!).

I reckon baby book sales have went down by masses since the internet kicked off... I thought I was going to buy a few but haven't felt the need to.

i agree,i never used bounty when pregnant with ds but with this pregnancy ive constantly been on here or other sites trying to find out things and there are a lot of things that ive learnt and picked up this time that i didnt know before and the support on here is great

well said - i will miss the net and u lot but sorry to say id rather have my son hehe xxxx

good idea for a post and well said .. i agree.. i dont have access to bounty at work and i've missed out on so much advise (should put in a complaint at work really)..but like you i've found a lot of things on the internet - and a lot of the time it helps me to stop worrying

Nope...even 2nd time around im still looking things up on the net constantly!!

Id be lost without it and lost without all of youuuuuuu!!! xx

...and the internet in general, i wouldn't know half of what i do about pregnancy if i didn't have it because the midwives don't tell me anything, i don't know about yours!  if i hadn't have got speaking to women on here i wouldn't know about the REAL stuff about breastfeeding for instance, about bleeding after birth even, i wouldn't even have a clue how to clothe a baby!!!  i've learnt so much lol.

bit of a random thread, just thought i'd see if anyone thought the same, i guess it might be different for those who have had babies already  ...
