Welcome to the crisp shiny new thread! The old one was getting a wee bit stoorie and dog-eared.

Have done my best to list all those from the previous thread, though some may have namechanged since then... hope I've included everyone - apologies to anyone missed.

I know, its unbelievable we're still doing well with the bfing, not so well with the weaning or sleeping through though and its taking its toll

Yipee the gang are back together!!!!!

Jenni give us an update soon and some pics

Dizzy I know what you mean about time flying by...Abbie is 9 months on Friday

Hi PPC and Klaw!!!!!

congrats jenni!
hello everyone!

Congrats Jenny!

I have a post natal client who laboured in around 2 hours on the 10th. What is it with fast labours just now? There are quite a few on the Doula Uk forum too....

Looking forward to more details when you've got the time

I've finally made it back to the computer so i'll post the details.
Went up to ninewells on the Monday night after having regular 5 mins contractions. Was 3cm short story failed to progress any further. Plan was to stay on ward til i got induced at 37 wks (11th) due to my medication. Due to pretty much been ignored the whole time, and this bitch of a midwife basically throwing me out the ward at half 7 on the thursday night to go for a walk(i actually walked out of hospital refusing to go back in much to my Dh and Dm worry) Anyhoo i begged consultant on the friday to be induced my mental state was at an all time low. He phoned labour ward and as soon as a space was available i could go down. Saturday night contractions started comin every 5 min got taken to labour ward 5.30am still 3 cm!!!! Had my waters broken at 6.30 after a scare he was breech! At 5 to 8 i screamed he was comin they didn't believe me! Harris was born at 8.11am!! I done it only gas and air. I got him straight up to me and held him for ages which meant so much to me as innes was whisked away to scbu.
The change i felt was almost instant. Asked to be discharged on Monday, original plan was to stay in whilst the tweaked with my medication but after the previous week i just wanted home. Got home tea time Monday and it has been great, i've been weepy but so so happy. Dh has been my rock through this.

Omg that was long, but was nice to write it down. Altho it probably makes no sense

Will now attempt to add photos.

och, if you'd only stayed til Tuesday I might have seen you on the wards.....

Well done though!!

Jenni you are a star your story made me cry....in a good way
Abbie was born after about an hours labour and it was fab!!!

Oh I am sooooooooooooooo broody and I just can't have any more

Can't wait to see Harris.... and I still LOVE the name xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Photos now on!

Awww bless the little squished up newborn face!!!!

awwww lovely Jenni what weight was he? he looks a good size for being early

Jenny - Just seen pics - sooo cute! Hope you are managing to get some hard-earned rest amongst it all x

Lovely pics, am so Hope you're all doing well

He was 7lb 12oz!! Dropped to 7lb 5oz now tho.

That's brill Jenny what a big boy Are you bf if so you might have to top up in between as prems get very tired trying to feed so often and this can lead to weight loss.......only saying as this happened with Abbie but it was no big deal and things went well very quickly....oh I am still so

No i'm not allowed to bf due to medication. Having a lot of issues with the community midwives i'm sure there trying to crack me up, DH had to tell one not to come back and we wanted someone else i'll be glad when HV takes over.

oh jenny sorry you are not gettinf on with midwives what's the problem? have you met Andrea the new hv? she is lovely and very supportive

Yeah have met Andrea she is lovely she's been helping me get things sorted at school for Cameron's hearing loss. Discharged from the midwife today so she'll be taking over now. There was just loads of little things with the midwife and she just wasn't very nice at all. Dh wants me to make a complaint but i just want to forget it now.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi, I'm new here so if I don't reply it is because I don't know how it works! I am in Dundee and I don't follow it to a tee but I consider myself more AP than not. Anyone else like me out there?

Hi Mossmoon! Good to hear from you... but you'll have to tell me what 'AP' is, I am having a 'numpty' day today

Ooh and hi to everyone else too

(Y'see what I mean...!)

Hi and welcome mossmoon I also need to know what AP is?

HI PPC how you doing?

I am at home today as I have a yuchy tummy but it is nice to be home on my own for a wee while

Hope everyone else is ok xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sympathies, minipink, DH gave me undercooked sausages on mother's day and I've not been quite 'right' since....

Got a very cute mothers day card from ds (well, from ds's nursery staff) so it has pride of place on the fridge. It's the first painting he's done.

Hope Jenny and her new lo are doing ok...

hi, hope no one minds me popping in.
been a member of mumsnet for a while now but just as a lurker. Thought it was time to say Hi to you all.

Anyways, I live in Arbroath and have 2 daughters. DD1 is 6 in August and DD2 is 4 in July.
