Oh Pen you poor thing. I would just stick with the paracetamol and agree with Maybe it sounds more like a tummy bug. The custom at 6 days birth is best described like a blessing for the baby but it involves inviting families and friends as I understand it. I know they do little foot prints of the baby and maybe even hand prints of the baby I think, it's a long time since I've been to one, as again not many people do them. Having said that different families do different things, so not sure what the mil will propose here. These days some women just call people around to 'wet the baby's head' so to speak! just a gathering really. But it's just dependant on how I feel after the birth and how baby is.
Oh Boo that's a brilliant idea of yours I was going to ask my mum anyway to make some freezer food because I regularly crave her food anyway but asking her to do some too would be good. Plus I like your custom of the 6th day after the birth 
Sweetie how are you getting now?
Nurse you're welcome anytime and glad to hear you're feeling better.
Trix glad to hear your itching problem was solved. Enjoy the yoga classes, I'm sure the teacher will make sure you're doing it at your pace and what you're comfortable with. I start my yoga classes next week.
Maybe I'm so pleased you've been able to eat more! hurrah!
Keep what was the house like? I don't think I'd ever been checked before for thalassemia and the dr looked through my records and found nothing but I thought it was a long shot anyway as the amount of blood tests I've had I'm pretty sure it would have been picked up by now. Thankfully I was right as it came back negative today.
The gp called so no thalassemia and my iron levels were ok but were on the low side of normal but my haemoglobin levels are still low so he decided I should have the iron tablets anyway, of what joy! I've also managed to get my flu jab moved forward to this Saturday now instead of having to wait a whole month.
