Ohhh, well done Nickel! Congratulations to you and MrNickel, and welcome to ISBN (at last, young lady! ). Hope you're home soon - I second lavendar oil in the bath, worked a treat on my stitches for DDs 2 and 3.

I want a lovely snuggly baby Envy - was just complaining to sundew when she was here yesterday that we don't have a baby between us any more (youngest is 3).

Mothercare sell sterile maternity pads for Episiotomies.

I used them stuck in the front of my humungo-pants to cover my section scar after I had DD. Ah the glamour!

Thank you SO much for the updates nickelsfriend. Are you going to be a regular on MN now? Wink

Congratulations Vamosbebe - well done you - and your little bebe is in good company - I knew the full moon would bring them all on Thanks to you - feliz navidad indeed!

Congrats again Nickel, you'll be out of there and home soon enough. So glad you got to birth at home - well done ISBN for birthing so well, and thanks friend 1 for the updates Grin I think all of MN has collectively said YEA! Can't wait to hear her little name - though i think she'll always be ISBN to us all Smile

PelvicFloorOfHighTensileTinsel · 12/12/2011 09:44

And vamosbebe! Grin I hope everyone from thread 1 is doing well and there are a few more babies.

PrincessSugarPlum · 12/12/2011 09:45

Hugest congrats to Nickel - what a total star she is! Really pleased she got her HB and little ISBN is such a sweetie. I look forward to hearing what name was decided on and her weight.

What a fraught night!! Well done you. xx

MissPenteuth · 12/12/2011 09:59

A baby girl, how lovely. Well done and congratulations to nickel and family Xmas Smile Thanks

EdlessAllenPoe · 12/12/2011 10:00

I asked DD1 what name the baby should be and she said 'She should be called Henry and she should play with us'

i did point out Henry is a green engine, not a little girl, but she was having none of it.

saffronwblue · 12/12/2011 10:04

Nickel's friend, I hope you have had time to have a rest and recover from the huge day. It is all pretty soul stirring stuff.
I have a beautiful DD who is 10 years old today. 12/12 rocks (if that is indeed isbn's date).

MustControlMincepieOfDeath · 12/12/2011 10:16

Congratulations Nickel! Well done! Smile
Im so glad you got your home birth, and what a good thing she was born before the ambulance. it would have been hell trying to get the piano in the back

seeker · 12/12/2011 10:20

Wish I wasn't too old for another baby! Maybe I could be Nickel's Mother's Help. Always fancied that as a career!

ScatterChristmasCheer · 12/12/2011 10:32
