hi also done psychology and counselling courses in the past and loved it!! hope to get back into it again once kids are old enough to need me a little less! Am due baby no 4 next week, so bit of an old hand at this birth thing! though more nervous this time round coz i have had three pretty good ones so far (as good as you can do!)so due a difficult one! all been natural, no intervention and all gas and air! hoping to have a turn in birthing pool this time if I have time! will try and get a chance to do your study thing in next few days! had loads of pelvic pain this time round so a good reason to try and get in that pool for some natural relief- been given some co-codamol so am sucking them like bloody sweets! think when driving over speed bumps makes you cry due to the excrutiating pain it's time to reach for the big boys! just me having a moan- but that's another good thing about this site- you can just rant and no one minds!
Hi, I'm a first time expectant mum (24 weeks today!) I'm also a research psychologist very appropriately investigating postnatal wellbeing! I work at the Univerisity of Sussex and I'm currently running an online study looking at women's memories of the birth experience, so if you fancy taking part please click on the link below or copy it into your browser.

I've had approx 50 women participate so far & they have all said they enjoyed doing it & felt it was a great opportunity to put the events of the birth into perspective. I need approx another 450 women to take part, so please please please help me out. If you want to check out my research profile to confirm this is a legitimate study please either google me (search for Suzanne Foley, University of Sussex) or look me up on the University website:

Thank you!!!
Hi All - I came across gurgle.com over the weekend and thought what a great site. It has everything you need to get you through your pregnancy. So tonight I decided to register and just wanted to say hi to everyone especially the mothers to be who are due in Feb 08.
