1 of 12

This is a common question for people considering having a baby, but really the answer is always going to be yes.

Parenting & Pregnancy > Diapering Why real diapers are better than disposables

When I became pregnant with my first baby (now pregnant with second) I had an inkling that I wanted to use cloth nappies, the main reasons being that they were better for the environment, kinder to baby's bums, and cheaper in the long run.

Babies grow and develop at different rates' this is proven a fact. Here's why:My baby and a friend's baby were born within a week of each other (both girls), and the differences between them are amazing, I can't help comparing them even when I know I shouldn't. Their development both physical and mental has been so vastly dif... More..

5 of 19

Staying at home to be with your children is a major sacrifice, but one I have done without any regrets.Before I had my first child, my life with my husband was carefree and we could basically please ourselves every day (apart from having to get up and go to work of course!).

I have been a fulltime housewife and mother for nearly two years now. It was a decision my husband and I made together once we discovered I was pregnant with our daughter.

Sorry this is really long, but I think people need to know.When I was about 30 weeks pregnant I started to itch all over my body. I didn't think anything of it; I just thought it was one of the many side effects of being pregnant.

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Styles (Other) The joy of being a stay-at-home mother
11 of 19

I think being a Stay at Home Mum is becoming a thing of the past which is a real shame. I knew even before I met my husband that if I ever had children I would do everything I could to be at home with them, just as my Mum did for us she was always there in a morning to see us off to school, and she was always there at night w...
