well done Dondons, hope you recover well from the c section and it doesn't mess up Amelie's feeding!

VictorianSqualor · 26/04/2008 15:08

Congrats DonDons, re the CS; take it slow, get everyone to do everything, take your painkillers and keep your scar dry.
Hopefully it wont mess with the feeding, i've had 3 CS's now and feeding hasnt been an issue.

No reason why it should change anything with the breastfeeding.

VictorianSqualor · 26/04/2008 19:25

I didn't think so, AFAIA, what tells your body that it's tme to get the milk ready is baby&placenta coming out?
So even if there is a short delay, it should be just that, short, sometimes I now it can be harder to hold them but IME if you start as you mean to go on it's ok.

right, bacon butties all round. Who's labouring? who's thinking about it? who's still waiting?

Brocolli I think was induced yesterday so she should be holding her baby by now

How about the rest of you?

kayzisexpecting · 28/04/2008 09:13

Squonk I hope that tea is raspberry leaf tea!

SquonkTheBeerGuru · 28/04/2008 09:14

Thanks squonk, got any curry sauce to go on that butty, oh and any tips on how to get DP to fancy shagging a beached whale!

kayzisexpecting · 28/04/2008 09:18

LOL, DH went to the health food hippy shop as he calls it yesterday for something and came home with some raspberry leaf tea!!! He got it so we were prepared. I know I told him I wanted to be organised but getting that like 30 weeks early is a bit to organised for my liking.

SquonkTheBeerGuru · 28/04/2008 09:20

the best tip to get dh shagging a slightly larger version of his beautiful wife is to remind him that after the baby is born, he won't be getting any for a while

I've read that whichever country started the raspberry tea trend, uses it for whole pregnancy to 'tone' the uterus!

Nosnik · 28/04/2008 09:22

That worked a week ago, but that was first action I'd seen for 5 months, he is terrified of moving baby!! quite funny really! Even if he touches my boobs I cover my bump in case baby realises whats going on!! ha ha

kayzisexpecting · 28/04/2008 09:24

LOL, bless him. We didn't have much while I was pg as I just didn't like it. But we did have quite a bit in the few weeks leading up to my due date.
