<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I hadn’t ever been around
anyone who had breastfed & none of my friends had had babies at this
point, but for some reason I just KNEW I wanted to breastfeed.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The midwives I saw where all
really supportive, but I honestly had no clue...</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">When my son was born, he
latched on straight away at birth and it was a magical experience, I was helped
to feed him and he was a natural!</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">We went home after 3 days and
he breastfed perfectly, we slept together in my bed (following all the
guidelines of course) and feeding him whilst laying down was the best thing
ever... sometimes I didnt even wake up, he would just latch himself on and i'd
wake up to him chomping away happily! </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">One of the biggest problems I
had with breastfeeding though was finding the right nursing bra. During my
pregnancy I wore t-shirt bras, and crop top type bras, but as soon as my milk
started to come in, my boobs GREW... like really grew... I went from a DD cup
right upto a JJ cup overnight.... </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">back then, the internet wasn’t
the 1st port of call & even mothercare back then didnt go upto such a
large cup size (not even sure they do now tbh!) so I scoured the phone books
for local bra shops & found one quite local, so off on the bus I
trotted with my baby to hopefully find a bra that would fit me!</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I did manage to get a bra, just
one, as they were £30 each! YIKES! </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">It was the most horrid, rigid,
boulder holder bra you'd ever seen, I hated it, but I needed it, so what could I
do?</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">we continued to breastfeed
until he was about 6 months old, which he naturally wanted to drink water more
often & was more interested in playing that being in my arms all the
time, so we progressed onto cup feeds with follow on formula, which is where
all the problems started. He developed a severe intolerance to powdered milk,
had exorcist projective vomiting which sometime would reach 10 feet away, I kid
you not...</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">He was failing to thrive,
developed intolerance to every food I gave him and deteriorated rapidly.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">the docs were called out so
many times and we spent hours upon days at the surgeries and hosp trying to get
to the bottom of this quick deterioration and after months of trying oodles of
different drugs and removals of foods from his diet, he eventually started to
gain weight and get healthy. He was put on a soya based formula, which worked
really well.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">He lead a dairy free diet up
till he was about 4 years old, which sorted out his poorly tummy and he can now
thankfully eat dairy. He does suffer with eczema tho and if he eats too much
dairy it flares up really bad, so we have to watch what he eats...</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">when my 2nd son was born in
2003, I was all up for breastfeeding again and was determined to feed him for
as long as possible as I was worried he might have the same intolerances as his
brother, which indeed he did, he had much worse eczema.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">But, once again, my boobs grew
overnight, after having my first son, they did go back down after I gave up
feeding him and they stayed about an E/F cup. This time though, they grew upto
an LL cup and I was a monster. My boobs were bigger than my head (each boob
that is) they were so heavy. Again I trotted off to the local bra shop and
tried to buy a bra, but they didnt have any in my size and only ONE bra company
made them in the size I needed, so the shop lady ordered me one in and after
about a week I got my new nursing bra, it was SO UGLY, I hated this one even
more than my 1st one and I could even fit my son in one of the cups... </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">He was a breeze to breastfeed,
was perfect at it, but the only thing he wouldn’t do was sleep in my bed and
feed, he LOVED to have his feeds with a cuddle then was desperate for me to put
him down after. I found this extremely exhausting and was desperate for him to
just have one night feed in my bed, so I could doze through it with him, but he
wouldn’t have any of it!!</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I did however have one of those
cots which "butted" right up against my bed, so it was easier to put
him back into bed!</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I continued to feed him until
he was about 10 months, after which time he, like his brother, wanted to feed
from a cup and play than be stuck in my arms feeding! I naturally put him onto soya
based milk like his brother had had, as I was petrified that he would go the
same way, but he was brilliant! He never once had the problems his older
brother did and he eventually went onto cow’s milk at 12 mths & eating
dairy from 16 months!</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">His eczema was quite bad tho,
but the dairy didnt make a jot of difference to it, he still now 8 years on
suffers with the eczema but is under control and you hardly remember how bad it
used to be with him when he was little.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">When I found out I was pregnant
with my 3rd son in 2004, I was overjoyed to be able to breastfeed again and
very much looked forward to it, but sadly he was born at 27 weeks and was
extremely poorly.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I was encouraged to express my
milk for him, as they said with premature babies that are born, their mother
make an even more unique tailor-made milk that can dramatically help them
thrive and survive.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">So off me went, hand expressing
my milk in the early days trying to get every ml of milk I could... it was
really hard too, as i'd never tried to express milk before...</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I was told to keep a photo of
my son close to me and to look at it whilst expressing as it would help me
relax, but it was such an intense and pressured feeling I felt like everything I
tried didnt work, I was only producing small quantities and was getting really
frustrated.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I had some help from the
midwives at the hospital and they got me using one of the expressing machines,
it was extremely bizarre and a huge machine, I also had to express both breast
at the same time. I didnt like this at all, but for the sake of my son
& his health, I persevered and got into a routine, after the 10 days of
staying at the hospital in the neonatal unit with him, I was discharged from
Hospital (on my birthday too) and sent home with one of the gigantic expressing
machines and told to express milk every 2 hours from my boobs, even throughout
the night and to store it in the freezer to bring in daily to the hospital for
him to have. to start with as he was so small, he didnt actually get to have
any of my milk as he was on a special formula for his gestation but the stores
of my frozen milk was soon starting to mount up for preparation for when he
could start to have it.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Im hazy with the dates, but I
think around 30 weeks my milk was introduced into his diet, through a tube
directly into his stomach; he began to gain weight brilliantly from it and was
tolerating it brilliantly.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The better he got, the more
they upped his amounts and soon he was taking in more milk than I was
producing! His stores of frozen breast milk were getting thin! I was diligently
expressing all the time I could, as I was desperate to help him grow, but after
about 3 months of doing so, I began to get really resentful of the expressing
machines... I hated them... I felt all I was doing was milking a cow &
never spending enough time with my son in the SCBU as expressing was taking
longer and longer to get decent amounts and my son was taking in such higher
amounts, I wasn’t keeping up.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I told the doctors and nurses
about it and they suggested that I tried taking a medicine called motilium
(domperidone) which is an anti reflux drug, but one of its side affects is
lactation, which helps you produce breast milk... I took the drugs and after a
short time, I noticed my milk production was gaining and gaining, I was getting
"litres" of milk from each time I expressed and it really gave me the
motivation to keep on trying.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Eventually the doctors asked
me, that once my son was able to learnt to breastfeed would I like to try and I
jumped at the chance, he was using a special dummy to encourage him to suck and
after a few weeks, we became natural at breastfeeding! He was doing so
brilliantly!</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I was so glad that I stuck with
the expressing for such a prolonged period of time, without it I feel my son wouldn’t
have got the best possible milk for him and he wouldn’t have grown so strong
and fought to stay with us. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Eventually he came home. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">All this time tho, I hadn’t
been wearing nursing bras, as he wasn’t with me and I only expressed milk it
didnt seem right to wear a nursing bra. It felt wrong, so I’d never thought
about buying one. thankfully though, my boobs didnt grow as much as they did
with my other 2 sons, im not sure if this had anything to do with the fact I wasn’t
actually feeding him and only expressing, but they didnt grow in size at all, I
was still wearing my pre pregnancy bras. Even when I was pregnant with my 3rd
son, not once did I put on a maternity bra. (I had such saggy skin from where
they had grown so HUGE and shrunk after the first two) so I only felt
comfortable wearing padded moulded bras (still do now!)</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">So I thought, what will I wear
now he's home? I was so used to not wearing a nursing bra, that I didnt bother,
it was difficult when I was out and about feeing him, but I didnt go out that
much. At home I don’t like wearing bras so just had on vest top (with support!)
and fed like that.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I continued to feed him until
he reached about 12 months. At this point, he was spending lots of time with
his dad and it became more convenient to bottle feed him. He was bottle fed
until he was nearly two; he had very delayed development and was still the age
of a one year old at this time.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">so fast forward a couple years,
I fall pregnant with Sophie and again, want to breastfeed, but this time, she
would be my last ever baby and I wanted to make sure I made the most of
breastfeeding.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">When she was born (by emergency
section) she weighed a whopping 10lb 6oz!</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">They thought I might have had
gestational diabetes and wanted to take her away for checks, but thankfully she
didnt.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I tried breastfeeding her as
soon as I was able, but I had a really bad reaction after the section and was
on super heavy pain killers and found doing anything other than sleeping agony.
Sophie was a really hungry baby too and she was demand feeding every hour or
less... it was a constant.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">In hospital, I was able to feed
her lying on my side, which was easier on my tummy, but hard to pick her back
up and wind... </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">we had to stay in hospital for
10 days as I was so poorly, but I persevered with feeding her and she wasn’t
bottle fed once, even though I was getting to a point of thinking, I've
breastfed 3 babies already, I don’t "HAVE" to feed her to prove
anything, but really I did. I had to give her the best start in life, as this
was given to her brothers, why should she not have the same start.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I found doing anything with her
difficult, so we ended up just staying in bed all day whilst shipping the kids
to and fro from school in taxis. We just fed and fed and fed and fed and did
nothing else, she was such a hungry baby.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">my boobs started growing again,
which im sure is down to her never getting off them and they grew all the way
back up to a LL cup *sigh* </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">BUT thankfully this time
around, the internet was awash with websites selling millions of bras, but only
a couple went up big enough for my huge bazookas! </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The only website at the time
that had a bra that fit me was bravissimo and it was again, a very boring bra. But
that’s all I could wear.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Sophie continued to be a super
feeder and was constantly on my boobs. We couldn’t go anywhere without her
needing a feed and I was always finding myself in a random place trying to conveniently
feed her!</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Up until she was about a year
old, I did this, but I soon got fed up, I had fed her for as long as I think
possible, but she didn’t want me to give up. I planned all along that if I
continued to feed, I would want to give up at a year, like I had with the other
boys. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I stopped wearing nursing bras
and went back to wearing my moulded cup bras and thought that this would deter Sophie
from getting a hold of them (she knew how to undo the clips on my nursing bra
and used to GRAB hold of them if she was hungry!)</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I delayed weaning sophie too,
It wasn’t until she was about 9/10 months before I introduced her completely to
foods, we used the baby led weaning way of feeding which suited her completely,
I didnt forbid her any food that we ate and I never pureed or squished
anything, I just gave her what we had and she ate it!</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">BUT, she still wanted my milk...
I managed to get her down to a couple feeds during the day, by making it
extremely hard for her to get to them! But also, I did love the bond of
feeding, so at night-time she had as much as she liked.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">With not wearing a nursing bra
tho, it became super awkward to feed her (see this</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><a href="http://soph4soph.blogspot.com/2009/08/mamascarf-toddler-review.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">post</span></a><span class="apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">on what I found to help me!)</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Eventually just before after
her 2nd birthday I managed to get her to stop feeding from me, I found the
bigger she got (at 2 years old she looked like a 3/4 year old) the more stares

beyond my best for her; the bond we did share though was amazing and im so glad
that with my last baby I managed to give her the super duper best start in
life! Even if slightly begrudgingly!!!! </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I wish when I had started to breast feed by boobs had been super smaller, as it would have made buying bras a lot more interesting and easier and also, If the internet & wealth of information had been readily about I might have had an easier time with my 1st son's problems.. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">this will be the 1st time ever since my 4 children have been born that i will without them for the whole day, surrounded by hundreds if not thousands of amazing mums (a few dads i think too) and feeling very vulnerable and cautious. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">normally I hide behind the children, under the guise that if anyone even notices me, they'll just think I'm a frumpy mum and not really care, but at CyberMummy, i'll be an independent women, who's successfully started up and is running a brilliant business and i need to look the part!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">years ago, I would have been a trend setter, wearing the most outrageous and crazy clothing and I never gave a damn to what anyone thought.. I was ballsy and i loved it..</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">but the woman I am today though is very different, my body has changed shapes more times than I care to think about and I cant get away with what i'd like to anymore.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BUT, hopefully this is all about to change! I've been working on a dress to wear to CyberMummy, its subtle, but very cool and I'm hoping that I will rock in it! :-)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its also got a slight hint of my <a href="http://www.catwalking.com/GRADUATES/GRAD_11/BA_shows/shows/Northbrook/shows/10-Sophie%20Rubinetta%20Luffman/index.html">sisters recent Catwalk collection</a> for London Graduate Fashion Week!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The only thing I am missing to my outfit though is shoes..... I NEED some shoes... </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been hunting and hunting online for shoes that will compliment my dress and also that make a statement that reflects "me" and the ONLY brand that will do is <a href="http://www.irregularchoice.com/">Irregular Choice</a></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Irregular choice have the MOST AMAZING shoes, boots, flats EVER! they have so much depth and creativity they just make any woman who wears them melt or just dance with giddiness as they're just SO DARN AMAZING! </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>(this is figuratively speaking as i've never had a chance to wear a pair)</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really really need a pair for CyberMummy and i've found </span></span><s><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">many</span></span></s><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> a few pairs which will really really go with my dress.. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, now I know what shoes I would like, the real problems begin.. I have no spare money... I've been begging my mum for the last few weeks and it's not looking in my favour.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I NEED SOME IRREGULAR CHOICE SHOES! </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">or else I'm wearing my worn out flipflops</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would drop at my knees if Irregular Choice or maybe one of their stockists could become my fairy godmother and could</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> sponsor this "fallen" princess to get to the ball in ultimate style....</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would be the most ever grateful and enthusiastic sponsor ever.. I would spend the entire day tweeting and blogging about how the shoes are doing with me on the long journey from Brighton to London (on public transport) and for the whole time I am at the conference. I would post pictures of how fab they look and how perfect they complete my outfit!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would even go on the hunt and search out other Irregular Choice shoe wearers at CyberMummy and If i had permission, would snap away at their stylish feet!</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">about a week ago, I saw a post on the </span></span><a href="http://britishmummybloggers.ning.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">british mummy blogging network</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> by Karin from </span></span><a href="http://www.cafebebe.co.uk/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">@cafebebe</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> asking for people who might be interested in a new energy drink/food supplement that came onto the UK market on the 8th June this year</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I turned vegan almost a year ago now after reading the book Skinny Bitch, as someone who suffers from major food phobias, this was a real eye opener & I'm so grateful I found it!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">but the one thing the book did turn me against as well as meat/dairy was caffeine, I had been a heavy diet coke/coffee drinker for years and heavily relied on it to keep me going throughout the day & to keep pace with the kids! but since giving it up, i've never had that feeling of "added" energy!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've felt amazing for giving up the "junk" tho and my headaches have become more tolerable, I noticed I was sleeping so much better too, but without my boost of caffeine every day I felt like something was missing. I looked at lots of the "energy" drinks on the market, but all of them contained some crazy ingredients or lots of sugar & I wasn't about to start drinking them, another thing was that they would give me HUGE energy spikes & rushes that would make me feel even worse once they'd worn off, so I didn't drink anything.. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">but seeing this new drink advertised on the BMB network, I read the ingredients, re-read the ingredients and was impressed to see that none of the nasty ingredients that the other energy drinks contained were present! an added bonus to the drinks were the added vitamin B12. as a vegan, getting enough B12 into your diet can be tricky (especially if your not always very good at eating all the right GOOD foods!!!) so was thinking YAY! an easier </span></span><s><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">more lazy</span></span></s><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> way to get my intake!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span><br />

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">He'd asked me if i would like to support the </span></span><a href="http://www.themartlets.org.uk/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Martlets Hospice</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> by joining their </span></span><a href="http://themartlets.org.uk/get_involved/lottery/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">lottery</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">?! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I didn't know what this meant, and i wasn't in the mood to find out, so politely told the guy that i would take some information about it and have a read. he said he would call back next week. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I glanced at the leaflet, then put it into the box of "stuff" (on the stairs, where all important things go like School letters, free newspapers, takeaway menus.. etc... the stuff you "really" want, but don't ever chuck out! ahem, i mean recycle!)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I never thought the guy would come back, but today he did!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">again, it was about 6:30pm and again... i was VERY Stressed! he said, did i remember him, to which i said "oh yes.. of course" (which i didnt!)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">he asked if i had had a chance to read the leaflet he left (I lied and said Oh yes!!) and he asked if i would like to take part.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(I hate on the spot "needs an answer" questions, esp. from door to door salesmen)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">so i said, "yes, i would love to help, how much will it cost me?!"</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">thats not bad, so I was happy saying yes! I spend more than that a week on Diet coke!!</span></span><br />

</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">as i was filling out the form, he asked me if i knew what the martlets was all about. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I didn't?! </span></span><br />

</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">he then said, "oh WOW, you do not know what we are and you are still willing to help?"</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">guy at door - "today, i have walked about the whole day, and not one person has offered to take part in the lottery/donation scheme, and here you are, not knowing who we are, willing to give up some of your money to help"</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">"Ok, so what is the Martlets Hospice? and what do you do?"</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">he then told me all about the Hospice. OMG. I had no Idea.....</span></span><br />

<br />
