PG after MC: Posifrickentivity, Batshit Crazy and a Rash of New Babies...

[SaggyIsHavingAPinkKitten]

Here we go ladies...

He was Due on16th, think that is 38weeks 2days. Head a bit mashed to work it out. So pleased he came early as he was 8 pounds still -still got torn mind. But was so heavy and physically struggling last few weeks. Was on ward 2 nights but was worth it as got a lot of help breast feeding - initially struggled to latch on. If you get a chance to stay on ward take it as might have failed fb had I gone home any earlier.

Oh bod!!!! Congratulations sweet! Well done you, sounds like a tough labour but all worth it now he here? I'm so happy for you :)
Have you p

Damnit I'm over eager!!

Have you picked a name yet? Congratulations to the whole bod family!

Oh bod congrats! That's amazing news! So glad all is well - had to stop myself having a bit of a weep on the train when I read your post!! Hope you're not too sore and enjoy snuggling at home with your little boy xxx

oh bod that's just amazing news!!! huge congratulations to you and mr bod and little superman!! what an entrance! so delighted for you :) sorry about your poor fanjo, but i'm sure his cuddles make up for it :) aw just lovely news. be sure to keep us posted on how you're getting on x x x x x x

bod many congratulations! thrilled to hear your little boy has arrived safely. So nice he came early and a very good weight too. Brilliant you've had lots of bf support on the ward too xx

I'm so pleased for you bod Hope you heal nice and quick...I agree with staying in till you are happy with BF, we did the same two nights Bet you are a bit in shock still bit blissfully happy! Let us know the name if that's ok

Yay bod fabulous news!!! Sounds like my labour with DS, you will recover and everytime you look you'll remember it was all worth it.

Just enjoy those newborns cuddles and don't worry about ANYTHING else, the house can be a pig sty, DH can sort out ready meals etc...

Thanks for all the well wishes. I finally stopped being sick last night so managed to get a good night's sleep and although I still feel washed out am hoping that's the end of it. Am very relieved as the last thing I wanted to do was go into hospital and be put on a drip.

YAAY Bod!!!! So happy we have another thread baby congratulations to you on your little Superman - hope you recover quickly xxxx

Guff glad to hear you are feeling better - sounds like an awful experience, hugs xxx

Sorry was procrastinating whether to divulge name! It's James xxxxx he is having a little photoshoot right now - he is so cute. Finally been able to have proper cuddles with him today as first day have been able to sit upright. It's bliss.
Dh has been super star. He has done everything for him - I had just been feeding really - think has been good for their bonding x

LOVE the name! I can't use it because my sister nicked it

Congratulations Bod!!!
Enjoy newborn cuddles. Love his name too.

Congratulations Bod! that is fantastic news and I love the name James. And he has a really cool birthday 31113. Sorry about the tear, make sure you do your pelvic floor and ask to see a physio early if you need to (from someone who didn't). I can't believe he was 8lbs at 38 weeks

Congratulations Bodicea! that's lovely news. James is a lovely name.Enjoy your newborn cuddles. I hope your fanjo heals up soon

Bod congratulations and what a lovely name! Enjoy many cuddles and kisses with him.

Thank you to everyone who gave good advice sorry if I missed you my phone is being awkward and not letting me look properly at the thread. 14 hours sleep and working from home today has really helped put things back in perspective. Although how I can be sick on my fave honey on toast then literally 5 minutes later woof down 2 mcds cheeseburgers and a huge diet coke and feel fine I have no idea, sigh. My theory is that it's all so processed with no nutrients there's no effort for my system to actually digest anything...

Wow Bod - fabulous news, and many many congrats x

BOD!!!!!!Whoop de flippin whoop! Sooooo many congratulations to the Bods on becoming a perfect little family. Bet you can't stop looking at your baby James can you? They are just so amazing that even exhausted you can still manage to gaze in awe at what you made Hope the fanjuita heals ASAP xxx

Oh and for all soon to be first time bf's don't forget to drink lots of water or you will get dehydrated really quickly and have a killer headache (like I did -doh), think the advice is to drink whilst they are....

.....can't believe the massive Q jump by Bod, anyone's guess whose next. Eeeeek!

bod many, many congratulations!! I've actually been thinking of you the last couple of days and wondering if you've had your baby as you hadn't been online for a while. Amazing news! Great weight, especially for 38w (DD1 was 8lbs but at 41w 4d) and lovely name! I bet you can't stop staring at him They're worth all the pain and discomfort, aren't they? I hope you have a quick and easy recovery!

ibip I had 2 sweeps with DD1 - one at 40w and one a week later (I think for second babies they don't give you one until 41w). The second one must have worked because I went into labour 48 hours later (or maybe it was a coincidence?) I didn't find the sweeps uncomfortable but my labour wasn't that straightforward and I can't help wondering if that was due to the sweeps - probably not though... lots of women have them followed by a short, uncomplicated labour!

Whey hey :D big congratulations bod. Fab name too. My DS is a James :) xxx

Brilliant news Bod
Lovely name too - hope you are recovering, second the (careful) pelvic floor exercises.

Have been making DS 's dinosaur nest today - lots of melted chocolate and candy melts everywhere. It is not worthy of any pnterest picture showung off! But as long as I can impress a 3 year old I don't care.

We have a Christmas craft evening in the village tonight which I need to go and help at - but my back is complaining at me being on feet all day

Congratulations bod! I was thinking we hadn't heard from you in a while. James is a lovely name and what a great weight! Hope you recover quickly. Enjoy your newborn. X

YAY! That's great Bod! All of the best little boys are called James!

Woop woop bod!! Congratulations on the safe arrival of little James- I love the name too. Enjoy every minute of newborn snuggling xxx

Congratulations Bod enjoy every minute of newborn cuddles with baby James!
