saac Curtis was born in Devon on June 1st 2013 with severe respiratory distress and damage to his lung tissue. Isaac was immediately transferred by road to Bristol Royal Infirmary, where he was put on a mechanical ventilator which it was hoped would clear his lungs. Doctors did not expect him to survive the road journey to Bristol and advised mother Rebecca and her husband to prepare for the worst.

Despite their best efforts, the ventilator was ineffective and consultants at Bristol decided to call in a specialised team from Leicester.

Isaac was put on a machine in Leicester that artificially pumps blood and oxygen around the body. Leicester Glenfield Hospital is one of only three hospitals in the UK to provide the ECMO machine to babies.

Against all the odds Isaac started responding well to treatment. Within a few days he was allowed to be transferred

back to his local hospital.

The Children’s Air Ambulance was called in to transport little Isaac quickly and safely back to his local hospital to continue his recovery. Doctors stabilized Isaac in the specially adapted Baby Pod on board the aircraft and pilots Shaun Tinkler Rose and Paul Hogan flew him on the 59 minute journey back to Taunton.

Rebecca and her husband followed by road – a journey which took them over 5 hours. Rebecca recalls how hard it was to put Isaac in the care of the helicopter crew but is full of praise for their kindness and skill at putting her mind at rest. The crew telephoned her at regular intervals throughout the flight to advise on their progress and Isaac’s condition.

Isaac is now back at home. Although still on oxygen, he is thriving and is expected to make a full recovery, with no long term side effects.

Thank you for supporting The Children’s Air Ambulance at The East Midlands Baby and Toddler Show. £1 of your entry fee at the door comes straight to us. Please visit our raffle stand and our quality 2nd hand children & baby clothes stand in the Theatre to help raise funds for our vital service.

Running, exercise, laughing, coughing or sneezing a problem?

Contiform can help...

Run n in g exercise laughter a problem?

C

ontiform is a discreet and easy way to manage those embarrassing moments when you have a small leak of urine when you exercise, laugh, cough or sneeze.

Contiform has been clinically proven to work and is recommended by healthcare professionals.

This is a natural problem that affects millions of women and you can use Contiform whenever you want to – it’s up to you - you can wear it all day every day or just when you are exercising.

• • •

Contiform is a vaginal device that is inserted just like a tampon so it is very discreet. It supports the bladder neck and keeps it closed during moments of stress/activity. You can use Contiform in conjunction with conventional pelvic floor exercises. It is available on prescription via your GP or from our website www.contiform.eu For more information on Contiform please call freephone 0800 083 1337. For clinical help please contact your GP and ask for a referral to a Women’s Health Physiotherapist who will be able to assist you.

Pelvic Floor Exercises

You should sit, stand or lie in a comfortable position with your legs slightly apart.

There are two types of exercises – slow twitch and fast twitch. It is important that you do the slow twitch first and then the fast twitch each time you exercise your pelvic floor muscles.

To perform the slow twitch exercises: 1. Close and draw up the muscles around back passage, as if you are trying to stop passing wind. Make sure that you do not contract your buttock muscles while you do this.

2. Now close and draw up the muscles around

your vagina and urethra, as though you are trying to stop the flow of urine.

3. Hold for a count of five. Try not to hold your breath, breathe normally.

4. Then slowly relax and let go.

5. Repeat five times in total.

To perform the fast twitch exercises: 1. Pull up the pelvic floor muscles as before.

2. Hold for one second and then relax.

3. Repeat 5-10 times or until your muscles feel tired.

The pelvic floor muscles tire easily and you may notice that it takes a lot of concentration to begin with to do these exercises correctly.

If you find that the muscles ‘let go’ too quickly and that you cannot hold for a count of five, just hold them for as long as you can. Use this as your baseline. For example, if you can only hold the contraction for a count of three, then every time you do your exercises, contract the muscles for a count of three. Gradually try to work up to four, then five.

Please mention Lots for Tots when contacting an advertiser Introducing Jenny from Flutterbye Babies: Pregnancy, Baby & Toddler Yoga classes in Nottinghamshire

Following my career as a Nursery Nurse, becoming a wife and a mother, I decided to start my own business Flutterbye Babies, embodying my greatest passions in life, babies, families, yoga and teaching.

Through Birthlight training, I now teach pregnancy yoga, baby yoga, inbetweenie yoga and yoga for walkers and beyond. I love my work and I hope you all enjoy it too. www.flutterbyebabies.co.uk

Pregnancy, Baby and Toddler Yoga

A gentle and fun class including a dry baby massage, stretches, simple balances, swings, dips, slides, relaxation and yoga-based exercises for mum/carer. All being of great benefit to both parents and baby.

Classes are throughout Nottinghamshire.

Although I discovered yoga many years ago, it was after the positive and profound effect that yoga had on my pregnancy, labour and my little girl that I decided to specialise in this area.

Baby Development Classes Award winning Baby Development classes for babies from birth to 13 months
