Due May 2008 - the floodgates have opened!!!

[thefortbuilder]

Pleased to be able to start the new thread with our birth announcement!

Samuel arrived at 1923 on thursday 20th March, weighing in at 4lb 10oz! After a fraught day of trying to find a hospital with a NNU with a cot (our hospital NNU was closed just as we were about to go to theatre), we finally ended up at Epsom General!

Sam is still in NNU but should be coming off his last little bit of oxygen this evening, is off CPAP, and having a go at bf'ing whenever he can (he's being fed by a tube).

I'm home and feeling a whole lot better than I did last time around, although very sore - TAKE THE PAINKILLERS THEY OFFER!!!!!

Jacob not sure about the new arrival although is smitten with his new scooter

will catch up with posts later but thanks for all your thoughts, prayers and good wishes over the last few days

20th March - flickthelittlefireengine, Samuel, 4lbs 10oz

PinaColada - have also used Arnica for ages, so can agree that it's not just for c-sections - great for bumps and bruises whatever the cause.

Flick - congratulations - what a good weight!

Yankunian - you normally add yourself, but I've put you on - just check I've done it in the right place! (Pregnancy brain is not performing at it's optimum at the mo!)

BTW, you're not too early to start RL tea, so don't worry.

My birth notes will read something along the lines of 'No-one touch me'. I was mighty fed up of being prodded and poked by untold people, so I don't want anyone near me this time around. May write in in a big red marker...

[JackBlackRoady]

babylove - lol at your post! i didn't get what you meant until i read what you had posted on the old thread! pmsl at you having hospital examination with band of hair!!!!

JBR

[blobsmummy]

You beat me to it by a minute JBR! Great minds.....

[JackBlackRoady]

blobsmummy - x post!
great minds think alike, eh? [grin}

[JackBlackRoady]

hahaha!

[babylove21]

Happy birthday Baby Samuel !! Many congratulations, i was most suprised, i didnt know.

Mocat Primark have got t shirt style nighties lots to choose from colour/pattern AND they have press studs down the middle, i'm hoping they go low enough to enable breastfeeding cause they are only £4 each !!!!!
I was lucky and got a pair of winnie pooh strappy top pyjamas in the mothercare sale for £10.50. they have the hidden support as well as nursing straps
Primark have also got some velvet zip front tops for £5. I have got one of those in favour of a dressing gown.

youcanonotbeserious fruit and raisins, hmmmm here i have dairymilk and dairymilk lol.
Weighed myself yesterday for the first time since i got the BFP and i have gained exactly 1 stone in weight. I was quite suprised because it feels a lot more than that.

In searching for arnica tablets i found a great site called www.thehoneydoctor.com

[blobsmummy]

babylove - my nan used to use Manuka honey and she thought it was great. I saw some research on it recently and the benefits of it are brilliant - it really is an amazing product - clever Mother Nature!

[Denny185]

Sorry to keep crashing .......

GCG - just wanted to say OMG what is your MIL like, ill send you some duck tape to shove over her mouth

........ waddling off again .....oh congrats flick hope you and samuel are doing well

[Yankunian]

Thanks for adding me you two! I will now know what to do the next time... argh, don't even want to think about the next time.

Yes, JackBlack, I am starting RL tea gradually. it's actually the third trimester tea from Earth Mama Angel Baby, which has all sorts of other good herbs in as well. I quite like the taste, but I hope it works better than their heartburn tea (which didn't do much for me.)

[podglet]

OMG - we have a baby on the thread! congrats flick and welcome to baby Samuel, lovely name, glad to hear he is doing well.

DP and I have had the day off to ourselves (we meanly put DS into nursery as he would normally go) and we have done loads, packed the hospital bags for me and lo, car seat and moses basket out the loft and covers washed, been out for a grown up lunch and DP has surprised me with - my own homebrew! I was complaining that I couldn't bear the thought of Guiness or Maccesons again during bf so he has made me my very own "chocolate stout" it will be ready in about 4 weeks (when she will prob be here) and I can have a little glass a day to help with iron levels etc - it smells yummy (he has just put it in a keg)

Pinacolada, yup tis me who is going to ask for a csection at 37 weeks - appointment with my fab consultant is on Thursday, so fingers crossed.

nighties - I got 2 from Matalan, they're not that pretty but they did for hospital, when I got home I just wore a nursing bra and pj trousers in bed as I was very warm (even though it was winter!)

GCG - hope you had a wicked time in Reading on your "date"

RL tea - didn't need it last time, if the doc doesn't agree to my section, I will start it at the weekend (35 weeks)

Hope everyone ok,

[podglet]

Hi Youcannotbeserious, of course you can ask! I'm asking for a section because I have problems with excess amniotic fluid. With DS the excess fluid made me much bigger than my dates - measured 43 weeks at 36 and my body couldn't take it any more so my waters went at 36 + 5. I then endured 2 days of failed induction before an extremely traumatic emergency c section.

This time I am more clued up and am asking for a section because I can't bear the thought of messing about for days with poor DS to consider as well. The doc has already said that this one will be early because of my scarring from last time and the extra stretching again, plus he won't induce me because I had a failed induction last time. So I have decided to take the stress of not knowing away and ask for the section!

Sorry that was long winded but hope it helps. They don't like elective c-sections in my neck of the woods (north essex) but if you argue hard enough, they give in!

[mumofk]

Hi, we've been busy making snowmen all weekend- I think DD has made 3 or 4 ( tiny wee ones). When I lived in Canada we made snow easter bunnies ( with food colouring easter eggs/footballs) but my mum only reminded me of it today, otherwise we'd have introduced DD to snow easter bunny! We haven't had that much snow, but DD has been up early every morning and the snow has been ok til midday...
Congratulations FLick! So glad things are going o and hope Sam will be home soon. Fingers crossed for you all.
For feeding pjs I got special one with drop straps last time, but didn't find it comfortable having boob completely out to feed, when I was way too hot to have a layer on top (middle of winter!) and just wore ordinary pj tops/ t-shirts and fed 'up and under', usually with nursing bra. So just going to wear my own pjs this time around too, not getting anything special.
I also got to tescos, and got CTN breast pump- I can't actually believe its so cheap at half price (I wouldn't have bought another pump if it wasn't so cheap, but some of the plasticky rubber bits on my avent pump are looking worn and I worry it might not last)and it even has an adaptor with it so my avent bottles fit it no problem. The CTN bottles are really wide with quite unique teats (they had a pack of 3 half price too, so I got some to play with )but going to that section reminded me how expensive teats are so just hope I won't be using too many!
Finally, I usually only complain about my mum and how she winds meup, but today we had a day out together in Skipton and it was lovely! She even bought me some (really surprisingly nice!) tops I think I'll be comfy feeding in, and wedidn't fall out once- practically unheard of. And, we got back early enough so I could have my nap before picking up DD from childminders- perfect day!I have to write it down as its so unusual for us, andreally sorry for everyone who has mums/mil winding them up.
Take care all, keep scoffing the chocolate!

[Azaduhi]

flick- congratulations and all the best for your family

[littledee]

Sorry for pasting this back in again!! RLT new one on me and off to the shops to hunt it down - anything that'll help or that I think will help! Anyone used a TENs before? Thinking of trying it out as want to stay at home for as long as possible before hitting the hospital...

Thanks folks!

20th March - flickthelittlefireengine, Samuel, 4lbs 10oz

[sweetbean]

Hello lovely ladies well its been sooooooo busy on here i can hardly keep up and im usually the one posting everyday!! well im still feeling sorry for my self! i can't believe how FAT i am my arse has expanded ten fold and ive grown massive love handles i look and feel like Mr Blobby!!!!!!!!!

Reading throw all the posts just makes me wish we all lived closer so that we could go out for coffee and have a really good chat about everything altho this is the next best think !!

FLICK Massive congratulations to you and your family on the safe arrival of Samuel im so please that you are all doing well lots of love to you all and please keep us posted xxxxxxx

BabyLove21 I got my DH to sort out my hairy bits he did a really amazing job and to be honest it turned out to be a really sensual experience !! but i suppose that it helps that im still just as much of a nymphomaniac as i always was !!
Oh and i also get thoughts totally crap days to i fell over whiles on a walk with dd and DH and only just managed to maneuver myself so that i fell on my side and not my bump this was on Monday and im still really sore down my left side.

Pinacolada82 Hi Hun what strength Arnica did they give you i bought mine from boots and the chap said that 6c was stronger than 30c but have since herd that this might be wrong but i can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone most annoying. I think that you should only start taking it after the birth to help with all the bruising and soreness(la la la im not going to remember that bit la la la)xxx

GCG hope you had a lovely night out and that you managed to have a good try at the romantic bit.

Podglet AHHH your lovely DP making you chocolate stout that so nice ! xx

Well ladies im of to the MW today for a routine check my original midwife had emigrated to OZ so i have no idea who i will be seeing today but there you go.as i mentioned earlier i manged to fall over on Monday so im actually looking forward to going and getting checked out altho i do feel fine and baby is moving around as normal.

Right....homeopathy..............

• the smaller the dose, the more potent it is (the law of infinitesimals)
  
  
• Adhering to the law of infinitesimals, remedies are created through a dilution process called "potentization." The first step is to make an extract from the healing substance. Next, a tincture is created by adding alcohol. Single drops of tincture are repeatedly diluted with water to create the different potencies seen on labels. Common potencies are 6X, 12X and 30X (30 being the most dilute) and 6C, 12C, and 30C ("C" solutions are 100 times more dilute than "X" solutions). But remember that in homeopathy, the smaller the dose--that is, the greater the dilution-the higher the potency. So a 6C remedy is stronger than a 6X, even the 6C is far more dilute.
  
  And remember......DON'T actually touch the tablets themselves with your pinkies as the medicine is 'coating' the tablet

[sweetbean]

KangaandRoo
ok so just to be totaly clear 6c is stronger
than 30c and also stronger that 6x is that right ???? sorry im so think sometimes

pinacolada82 Good luck at the hospital hun xxxx
