I phoned the maternity unit at 11am today after contracting since yesterday, they told me to come in for 5 tonight. Still contracting and I haven't been checked on
Just on a bed right next to the nurses station where I can here one nurse saying "bed 3 (me) can't possibly be in Labour she must have ate too much" is this standard Confused this is my first so no idea. Just in so much pain and not really sure what I expected Blush

The child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonnie and blithe and good and gay.

Many, many congratulations and all good wishes.

Congratulations! Try to get some rest. When your DS gets back from SCBU (hopefully just a quick visit) try to just keep him on your chest with lots of skin to skin and easy access to your breasts :) You've both been through a lot! Thanks

NameChangeEr · 21/02/2016 12:39

Congratulations! Flowers
Sleep for an hour or two whilst they assess him and can't be with him, then he'll either be back with you doing skin to skin or you'll be with him as he has a really short stay x

MagpieCursedTea · 21/02/2016 12:51

Congratulations, you've done so well! Hope the SCBU visit is a short one and you can have some rest and get that baby latched on. Take cake Thanks

Massive congratulations OP Thanks

Welcome to the world little one Star

I am sorry OP that you have had such a hard time. I hope you get plenty of rest, well done you :)

MrsNutella · 21/02/2016 12:56

I was lurking for the last few days, op I'm sure they have been the longest few days ever.

So I just wanted to say; well done op! You have done so well, I'm sure you're absolutely knackered! Don't do do anything more than snuggle your baby and recover now.

Best wishes, and congratulations ThanksBrewCakeCakeCake

Wow - what fabulous news! When I was tired after deliveries, the lovely midwives took my babies to the nursery for a few hours in the night so I could get some sleep. I'd imagine you are in need of a gazillion hours of kip now after that marathon! You're awesome xx

Tessykins · 21/02/2016 13:02

Many congrats Sstewart. You're some woman! Hopefully he'll be back with you soon for lots of snuggles. You have been through the mill but you'll soon realise that it'll have all been worth it. Xx
