Congratulations on becoming an Aunty Sarah 9lb 7 is a whopper, no wonder she struggled. I had attempted ventouse and forceps with just G&A before my EMCS with dd1, it bloody hurt. She may be rather bruised and feel like things are out of place inside for a while afterwards even though she had a natural delivery in the end after all that pushing and tugging. Good pain relief like diclofenac or ibuprofen essential.
Frizz those cupcakes look amazing.
Tooth good knitting, you ladies are all so creative :)
Welcome only, congratulations.
My pregnant ill cold recipes for those that are suffering are:
Hot toddy: juice half lemon, hot water, honey, few cloves, piece cinnamon stick, piece raw red chilli, few slices peeled ginger.
Ginger tea: bring to boil in a pan 1L water with 7cm piece of peeled and sliced ginger in it. Then simmer with the lid on for half an hour. Drink liquid with sugar and/or honey to taste.
Glycerine, lemon and honey was ok for coating sore andm tickly throats too or just a spoonful of honey.
