Old bird graduates, gather round....let's talk chicklets!

[Gingerbreadlady1]

For the old bird thread graduates and any other slightly older mums to be, please join us. We're a friendly bunch.

Perineal massage is indeed boaktastic, BUT, either I was lucky, or it worked, as I didn't tear at all with DS. Admittedly I also laboured a long time in water which also probably helped, and he was a dinky 6lb12 - long and slender at that, but, I still credit the perineal massage for helping. Maybe I am just giving it credit soas to make the boakiness seem worthwhile!

DS was also back to back, the little bugger, not sure if it was the hypnobirthing that helped or again, just instinct to plough on through. I don't think it can hurt (hypnobirthing, that is.) And I was also determined I was NOT going to hospital unless I absolutely had to.

InShock, I am a bit at your sister being anti skin to skin - that was such a highlight for me, the second he finally popped out, and so good for us both. I also opted for delayed cord clamping! She'd love me! :)

I'm up for the Fb group but only if it is private, so people can't even see I am a member, should they accidentally stumble upon it somehow.

Skin to skin lovely, didn't get the option with my older 3, cleaned and weighed before I really got a proper cuddle . DD straight onto my chest, it was the most loving experience and she stayed there for over an hour.

The first thing DS did, upon being placed upon my belly, was poo! It was still lovely. (The cuddle. Not so much the poo!)

Sorry checking in, haven't been in here for a while!

I'm up for a secret old birds group a Hexy, feel free to make me a joint admin in case you need an fb flounce now and then! ;0)

Ok-dokey tranq, I'll see if that's poss. Any ideas for a name for the FB group? Oh & it will be a secret group, I rarely post anything on FB publicly.

Wtf about being anti-skin-to-skin? How is that even possible?

Old Birds? I'm up for it too.

For constipation plenty of nuts and dried fruit can really get things going.

But I don't feel old! Older?! And wiser?!

Oh, can we not be Aged Crones Snatching Our Last Chance of Fertility from the Jaws of Death?!

That certainly has a ring to it stubbs and slips easily off the tongue! You have my vote!

What about Older, Wiser and Mummified!

I like that Abs

Or at least, Older and Mummified, if not wiser!

Justified Ancients of Mum Mum!

"We're justified.....and we're ancient
And we need a nursing bra"......

Love it!

Up for fb, but only ever opened an account but never anything more... So may need directions to how to find it ....... Not fb smart ( maybe showing that I'm a bit of an oldie now)

I am happy to set it up if it would help, Hexy, else let us know how to find it.

Looks like we're a go for the fb group

Well, that's if anyone actually sets it up rather than just talks about it on here!
And agree a group name! :)

I'm up for joining, just not setting up, not sure I would know how tho.
Need to say Owwwwwwwww did a mini spring clean today, need to remember I'm 27 weeks pregnant and 40 cos I bloody hurt, back,hips,pelvis ow ow ow ow.

Lol abs!

snooky, you should be taking it easy. (I'm rotten at taking my own advice) shows your bump? People in work keep asking me when I'm finishing up as they think it's imminent due to bumpage!

How's your bump should say.

Bump has def got more bump like, eating way too much crap tho so could be that lol, how are you Ginger? And everyone else ?

I got my first "Are you sure it isn't twins?" comment yesterday. And fuck you very much too missus!

They must say that to every pregnant woman. I've been getting that since about 20 weeks, cheers!

Ok, I have gone ahead and made the group, hope that's not treading on anyone's toes. I can easily delete it if someone else wants to set it up! I will PM a couple of you to see if you can request to join, else, you may have to friend me on Fb so I can add you.
