@SnakebitesandSambucas bet you can't wait ❤️

Rainbowsunshine81 · 15/05/2025 04:22

@SnakebitesandSambucas it's lovely being in my own bed ❤️

Toothfairy0113 · 15/05/2025 09:01

Thanks everyone ❤️

@Rainbowsunshine81 bet it felt amazing to finally be home! Hope you're both doing well.

@SnakebitesandSambucas so exciting! I had my (looooong overdue!!) hair cut last Tuesday luckily, felt so nice to be pampered for a bit, enjoy!

@LeBonBon yaaayy!! Congratulations 🎉💐 Hope you're both well 💙

Yes it feels surreal. Getting it dyed and done today. Feels weird to be doing pampering but since I can't get in and out of the bath lol I need my hair washed 😹

Anyone of the section ladies have low iron before their section and what did they do about it? I just been told me HB is 103 and I’m due my section on Wednesday but I don’t know what they will do in the mean time as I’m already taking iron tablets

SnakebitesandSambucas · 15/05/2025 10:56

@BrightGoose my iron levels were low but I had an iron transfusion. Not much you can do now apart from keep taking tablets I suppose. I'm sure if it was too low they would offer you one

BrightGoose · 15/05/2025 11:22

Yes the doctor is ringing me today so they will let me know, no wonder I can’t breathe and keep going dizzy

SnakebitesandSambucas · 15/05/2025 11:45

It's horrible mine were 9! The transfusion itself was pretty straightforward xx

Rainbowsunshine81 · 15/05/2025 13:29

@Toothfairy0113 oh very much so! Getting used to having a newborn again. We're getting there. Xx

Hello all!
After going into labour on Sunday night our little Sonny was born on 13th May at 13.33 (all the 3's!) Via c-section. Still very much in pain but so in love ❤️

Congratulations to the others who have had their babies in the last few days too. Just managing to catch up with the conversation. ❤️🎉
