We were recently asked to take part in a new Fisher-Price Little People ... Big Discoveries campaign. This campaign encourages and celebrates the discoveries and experiences that spark imagination and learning in our little ones, something extremely close to my heart. As part of the campaign we were delighted to receive the Fisher-Price Little People Fun Sounds Farm to review. Before revealing this to W I first of all decided to take him to our local city farm to see some of the animals in context. So yesterday Mr B, W, Little Miss E and I all headed out in the sunshine for a bit of ...

My consultant was extremely concerned that should my waters break early, which is very common with this condition, the likelihood was that the cord would prolapse, denying my baby of vital oxygen, and making it a race against time to get her out safely.
