My daughter was pregnant nearly 20 years ago and I threatened and nagged that much about a buggy. She did chose a pram which was high from the ground and a pushchair again high from ground. It was those low buggies I shouted about and still do. Ann

Yes and is triggered off by stress/pollen/pollution so have been a virtual prisoner for the past 7 weeks in the house. Husband took me in his AC car to supermarket last night - less traffic - less pollution - walked the few yards to the store from car park and was in trouble, straight back in car and home. It is the car/bus fumes I react to faster than anything. Apart from 3 inhalers and anti-histimine - I now am on 8 steriods for 5 days. I have been banging a big drum for over 20 years re increase in asthma in children - I blamed it on buggies - look at any baby/toddler in a buggy - just a lovely height for car exhausts.

hi sandra, like me,your a dark horse! you only post after the event. you have'nt said whether your a smoker,or if you live in the midst of a smoker. its strange just how life has changed,we seem to have forgotten what we were taught at primary school,about breathing fresh air,and how important it is to fill our lungs. stanley mathews played professional football at age 52,but he would go on the beach at morcambe,at 6am,and spend an hour just deep breathing in the sea air. today,we live with stress,polution,and our health suffers. wish you well sandra....bryan.
