Hello! So, I'm 37+4 with a breech baby and my waters have just gone. I've rung triage, put a pad on and our friends have just arrived to look after DS.

Currently in Asda carpark so DH can pick up some supplies for himself.

Please keep me entertained!

Yes . I think Buffy would be a lovely middle name and what a lovely thing to explain to her one day about how it came about .

I'd really like some sleep please! Not my baby but the one in the bay next to me us LOUD. Feeling empathy for the mum, baby is struggling to feed (breast or bottle) and is in obvious gastric discomfort. Obviously not mum or babies fault but I'd really like to sleep!

Smotheroffive · 19/01/2019 03:56

Worst place to be for sleep, a room full of newborns! Good job your baby and others know how tonsta asleep through that racket. So sorry its keeping you from sleep, as its so precious for your recovery.

Don't the MWs help oiut overnight with the unsettled ones so everyone can get some sleep?

Hope you can get some soon.

Congratulations ❤️ What a beautiful baby!
