  • SEX POSITIONS TO HELP GET YOU PREGNANT!

    SEX POSITIONS TO HELP GET YOU PREGNANT! 

    If you’re struggling to conceive or trying to conceive below we’ve listed the top 10 sex positions which can boost your chances of getting pregnant.

     

    1) Your old favourite classic, the missionary or as some like to call it ‘boring vanilla’. I’m pretty sure you don’t need me to explain this position but for anyone who is clueless its basically the woman underneath with her legs open. (P.s add a cushion under your bum to tilt you slightly for a deeper penetration!) The man will be on top of you with his arms holding his weight and he will control the movements.

     

    2) Doggy style (woof woof!) You either love or hate this position so if it’s not for you don’t panic you’ve got another 9 positions to choose from! This is self-explanatory, get on all fours like a dog and let your man take you from behind. Don’t forget that back arch! The man will hold your hips to control the thrusting and your welcome to help him along by rocking back and forth.

     

    3) Reverse cowgirl (Yeee harr!) it’s not quite like a cowgirl however do feel free to dress up like one if you fancy spicing it up. Your man will lie on the bed, and you will sit on him facing away from him so your bum is basically in his face. It’s your turn to control the movements on this one so just push up and down.

     

    4) The toad (yes, it’s an unusual name for a sex position) similar to missionary the only difference is you wrap your legs around your man and place your feet on his bum to guide the movements. It’s a very simple position but great for intimacy.

     

    5) Bandoleer (I have no clue why it’s called this but just role with it) get on your back and bring your knees to your chest just like if you were suffering from trapped wind and was trying to release a few farts. Put your feet on his chest and he will put his forearms on your knees. You can just place your hands on his thighs if you want. If you want him to go deeper just pull him in by his thighs. Bonus points in this position…the G spot gets all the action! As your man presses your knees down the pleasure increases. Sounds fun!

     

    6) The Hound…yet again what is with these sex positions relating to dogs. Anyway, the hound just like doggy style you’ll be getting on all fours but just lower yourself so your resting on your forearms instead. The man will like usual penetrate you from behind while, if he wants, cupping your boobies.

     

    7) The peg, if I’m honest it more like ‘the plank’ you’re basically planking on top of your partner. Get him to lie on his back and you lie on top of him controlling the movements. If you’re lucky enough to have a man with a big package this position will allow him not to penetrate you too deeply.

     

    8) From behind. Well unfortunately this is a boring name unlike the rest. Find a wall or some sort of object you can lean on and your man will stand up right and enter you from behind while holding on to your thighs.

     

    9) The grip. This one is good for getting deep! Place a cushion under your bum to raise your hips slightly. Move your pelvis from one side to the other. Your partner can go deep if you’re brave enough.

     

    10) The eagle…. As the saying goes ‘Spread eagle’! Get on your back and spread those legs up high, the man will kneel in between while holding your legs up (what a gentleman, otherwise you wouldn’t last long in this position you’d get leg cramp) this position is fantastic for going deep while the man can have a full view of what’s going on. Cushion under your bum is optional.

     

     

     

    These are my top 10 sex positions to help you along with the road to pregnancy…but please enjoy sex! Don’t make it a chore or routine, let loose in the bedroom, go wild and just enjoy yourselves. After all once you have little people running around you’d be lucky if you even get the missionary position!

  • Sex Education, When Is The Right Time?

    Mums advice asked 361 members when they think children should get sex education lesson, we were shocked by the results.242 members thought sex education shouldn’t begin until the child is between 10 and 12 years of age.
    Others disagreed stating the earlier the better, maybe not about actual intercourse or stds but about about what their parts are called and who can see it or touch them, thus helping to prevent abuse.
    Several members felt it best children knew basic terminology and facts to prevent bullying or misinformation in the play ground.
    One member said “I don’t agree with them learning about it until they’re 10+ they dont totally understand when they are that young i understand teaching them about keeping safe away from horrible people but my little boy just thinks its funny when he was told about his body parts but on the other hand i do answer him if he asks questions too many children these days are very advanced as well “. 

    Another stated
    “As young as possible knowledge is power if they have the knowledge they have the power to protect themselves from sti std etc they can make educated and informed choices they will know when to say no and not feel pressured into doing things they don’t want to don’t feel comfy doing”.

    This mum said: 

    “I’m completely against learning it too young.. my son got sex education age 11 and he became obsessed. Honestly if I could turn back the clock I would opt him out”.

    What’s your view on sex education?

    What age will you teach your child or would you leave it to the school to do?

  • Carers Do You Hear Me?

    When the chair is rocking slowly and the fading eye lids fall, when friends and family visits start to slow.It is my carer who I call.

    I’m sorry, I know you’re busy but please don’t rush me dear, my legs are very tired and I can’t help but fear.

    I press my buzzer, I call out, I shout, I wish you would come near, I know I’ve pressed it often but I am lonely here.

    I cannot make it to the toilet and you have to change my pad, I didn’t mean to make a mess, please talk to me with dignity and tell me what you’re doing, turn me slowly, don’t push and shove.

    When I’m laying in my bed and you are washing me, don’t talk to your colleague as if I’m not here, I like to hear about your children and to tell you about my life, I wasn’t always like this and I have so many stories running through my head.

    You work such long hours and your pay is very small, but I am very thankful for all you do , when you smile and joke with me, when you comfort and calm me, when you sit with me and hold my hand, when you remember I am a person who sometimes doesn’t understand.

  • Midwives Will Be Talking About This For Months 

    “Your external world is a direct reflection of your inner world. You create with your thoughts, beliefs and emotions!
    Knowing this and being conscious of this, is so POWERFUL.
    What thoughts are you thinking? If you think that thought often enough it will become a belief which will make itself so comfortable deep in your subconscious, you won’t even know it’s there! 

    That belief will get you to make choices and decisions to prove that, that belief is true! Then when you experience something which proves the belief is true you will say things like ‘See it IS true!’
    Throughout my pregnancy with Ashani, many people told me horror stories of labour! ‘It’s SOOOOO painful’ ‘Your downstairs will never be the same again!’ ‘It’s pain like you have never felt before!’
    Every time someone told me what ‘they’ believed or experienced, I silently said to myself ‘I choose NOT to believe that will happen to me, I will have the most amazing labour that midwives will be talking about it for months and months and it will be the best experience I have EVER had!’ Every time someone shared their horrific experiences and their perception of it, I had the opportunity to reinforce my positive belief.
    I had 9 months of reinforcing my belief and imagining my amazing labour experience. My powerful self-belief drove me to my powerful choices and decisions which led to 13 hours of the most peaceful beautiful labor! It was even better than I had imagined or believed it would be.
    Did the midwives talk about this incredible labour for months after? Absolutely! My sister Nina Vyas was delivering her baby 5 months later and the midwife was talking about my labour!


    What thoughts are you thinking? Good ones or bad ones? If you’re not sure, take a peek at your current reality and check in with yourself. Do you feel good? or do you feel bad?

  • Nit Nurse Come Back

    Should the nit nurse be brought back?

    One mother has been trying to start a campaign to bring them back?

    She has met with mixed views.

    Some feel it is an invasion of their childs rights and privacy.

    Where as other parents welcome it back, many parents are fed up of their child continuously coming home having caught nits off of their class mates.

    We asked several mums their thoughts on it:

    “I feel if it’s acceptable to check if my child is over weight and send a letter home if they are, then why can’t they check for nits, it’s no more an invasion of privacy then the height and weight check”.

    Another said “I don’t want my child to be embarrassed in front of her class mates if she did have them”.

    We asked just over 200 parents and found that 127 would welcome it back if it were done discreetly and no embarrassment is caused to child and parent.

    Whats your thoughts let us know in the comments.

     

  • Social Media Can Help

    Have you ever felt lonely, ever felt that no one cared?

    I’m one of those people who struggle to make friends, that’s where social media can step in and help.

    I have more online friends that face to face friends and some say that is not a good thing.

    But these online friends, listen, check in on you and route for you, even helping you at your lowest point.

    I was lucky enough to meet some of my social media friends, it took me 3 hours to drive there and others spent hours travelling to.

    It was like meeting up with long lost family, it wasn’t awkward, it wasn’t strange, it felt natural.

    All of the children became friends almost instantaneously, they loved being together.

    There was no awkward silences or weird surprises, so having online friends is not a bad thing (obviously be careful).

    So thanks social media for helping a loner like me feel included.

  • £60 Late For School Fines

    Ministers have backed the idea of fines for parents/carers whose child/ren are repeatedly late for school (over 30 mins late).
    Councils & schools in the West Midlands, Essex & Hampshird have all extended the £60 fixed penalties they issue for pupils who go on holiday during term time, to cases of consistent lateness. 

    Families have been told they could be prosecuted if they fail to pay the penalty after 28 days. 

    On Sunday the Government said it was right that schools monitored pupils lateness and “address it” where it becomes a concern and hand out fines when appropriate. 
    Warwickshire county council has issued guidance to inform parents it will fine families whose child/ren who repeatedly arrive more than 30 minutes after the register is taken.
    Winter Gardens Academy in Essex has also told parents they could be hit with £60 fines, which will double if not paid within 21 days.

    Teenagers who are often late, parents will be asked to walk their child to school or they will also be fined.

    What’s your thoughts on this?

  • Be Kind To Your Postie

    Summer is here!  While some of us can spend the day enjoying the sun in our gardens (or if we’re really lucky a beer garden) some people have no opportunity to enjoy it as they have to walk around in it lugging heaving bags of packets and letters around!  Don’t get me wrong, being a postie can be a fantastic job, you get a brilliant tan whilst walking out in the sun all day.  But it can take it out of you.  I guarantee 75% of posties feel the need to have an afternoon nap in the summer months!  

    One helpful post lady has left a message to the public.  Asking for a little care and consideration… and maybe a sip of water!
