Can't keep up today!!
Congratulations Izzy on James' arrival, and excellent news Caracaraz.
Good luck for tomorrow Everso and keeping fingers and toes crossed that your consultant sees sense (and suffers horrifically with SPD in pg in future and sees the error of her ways perhaps??!!) Tits.
Wow Shelly, am in awe, and Detective, wish I coud eat like that and not put on weight (I am in fact just eating for 2 adukts and weighing nearly as much...)
hiya Glenda.
Still hating iPad for keeping up with ths thread - it can't keep up with me. Grrr.
I too had a rough start regarding DD's weight gain and breastfeeding. The stupid thing was, it coincided with her developing reflux but they didn't seem to give a rat's arse about that. Oh and, a week before, the HV told me to feed her LESS frequently (at 2wks old) when everything I know about milk supply now contradicts this. Think most HV like formula because its predictable and measurable.
Do I need anything else for my home birth? Have everything on the list I was given by MW and extras, but not sure i've thought of everything...
plenty of old/dark towels
2 shower curtains
2 old sheets/duvet cover to go on shower curtains
towels to wrap baby
hot water bottles
maternity pads (many)
hospital bag for me & baby containing usual bits
2 (new but machine washable) pillows
2 dark coloured pillowcases (for above)
1 v-shaped pillow with bin bag wrapping to protect it from mess
towels and soap for MWs
bin bags
bath robe
birth ball
anglepoise lamp
relaxation music CD
Will that suffice??!! 
Family friend who was due 2 days before me has gone into labour...
Oh and what does it say about me that 1) I am not enjoying the box of thorntons chocs I was bought (prefer cadburys heros or quality street at mo 
and 2) that I'm eating them anyway??!!!
