Hello everybody! Thanks for all your congratulation messages. Just got home about an hour ago. Had a lovely birth really - well, as far as agony goes anyway! Only part that didn't go to plan was that I didn't get the birthing pool - because I suddenly went from absolutly fine to nearly pushing so they didn't have time to fill/warm it and move me etc!! Birthing centre absolutly lovely, far, far better than the hospital birth I had 16 months ago with DD. No drugs, had gas and air, but other than that, not even a paracetamol.
I will write a full birth story later on and link to it from here if anybody is interested.
DDs are both in disposables. Worst thing is though - the nappy washing has all been messed up. Everything happened so fast that I didn't have time to sort things out. I now don't know if I should re-wash everything but that means at least another day or 2 in disposables?!
I am going to use washable wipes on Talia from the next nappy change. I have hated using cotton wool! It has used half a pack at each change, trying to get the horrible black poo off! I think I am going to wait for that to pass before using the washable nappies in case it doesn't wash off properly? Or stains? Or does anybody know that it will actually be fine?
