Pregnancy, Babies and Children's Expo

Rebecca Young and Katrina Carroll attended the PBC Expo at Sydney Showground last weekend to man the AMBA stand. If you were there you would have seen Rebecca on Saturday and Katrina on Sunday.
They both had fun chatting to all the pregnant ladies, their partners and peeking
at all the little newborns.
Katrina said, "I found it exhilirating talking to all the pregnant women and a lot of prospective dads too. I had forgotten just what an exciting time it was being pregnant with your multiples and it was fun to be able to share those feelings again with so many nervous but excited people. It was hilarious though cos so many people wanted to know about breastfeeding twins and I have absolutely no idea on that one cos I wasn't able to! Thank goodness I'd attended an Expectant Parents night recently so I could pass on some tips from our other mums who had breastfed successfully."
Some of the other tips they were able to pass on included; wearing support-pants after a c-section so you don't get an over-hang, using the AMBA community forum (you'll see the side link on our blog page for this) and also Nicki Wright's wonderful idea of having a 'to do list' on your fridge so any visitors can just take a look at it and automatically give some much needed help without you feeling guilty about saying what needs doing.
Keep a lookout on our blog and in our newsletter for future conferences, expo's and the like.
