Maybe she accidentally missed the end of the auction or had an auction snipe set up which didn't work.

That's quite common over here - if people perceive you as struggling to manage something and a baby they'll come and grab your baby. If she's used to that and she's met you before she probably would be mortified that it upset you. I'm not defending it cause I hate it - but she's not just some nutter, IYSWIM? Well, she probably isn't.

I'm always impressed at the resilience of some of the little babies on this thread. I'm considering getting some counselling because I'm still finding it hard to deal with Molly's birth and the effects it seems to have had on me; some of you mummies had it so much harder and you're doing so well. I'm all :j and .

ah reassuring thanks hun xx

I know it's been covered now but do seek help, it does matter where your birth comes on the perceived scale of badness. What does matter is how it affected YOU :kisses3:

i thought i was going to fall of the operating table. it seemed so narrow!!
i was more scared about falling off the table lol!!

now i just wonder if the same thing could happen again (K's head didnt turn properly and forceps, ventouse didnt work)... if i was to get pg...can i ask for a CS staright away?

I know i've said it before but I'm so angry with SIL for you, I don't know how you managed to get through the early days with everything that happened, I was a weck after having Chris and didn't have anything other than a straight forward bith and a crying baby - I'm a wuss:p

yes you can request an elective and would most likely have your request accepted but you would be (IMO) be better finding out why he got stuck, was he in the 'wrong' position before enterng the pelvis or is your pelvis a funny shape or was he not given enough time or was it because you were in a less than ideal birthing position or any other reason
once you know the why then you can know how likely it is to happen with a 2nd baby and decide if you'd like to go for VB or CS

Angela - I think the collective 'we' forget that Rose was early and by so much because she is so amazingly strong, she recovered so well in many ways she is/was just like a 'normal' baby :AI hope that makes sense and comes accross as it is meant to, you and rose (and your OH and older ones) are fabby

Weezlie - I have been pondering starting a Parenting daily chat thread, can I have yours (and anyone else's) thoughts?
My thinking is;
there are daily threads in other areas such as DFW and OS so we 'should' be ok having one on families (I asked MM about it and she worried we'd get moved to the arms)
if the thread is daily it would removed the perceived need to catch up on 3 days posts when you've been away
removing the need to catch up would hopefully mean 'we' are less distracted and therefore less likely to forget people??

well that took so long I bet all of this mamoth post is pointless now

Sami how would that work? If people don't have to catch up then wouldn't more stuff be missed?
Do you mean getting rid of this one and having daily chat instead? Maybe the daily chat OP could have a run down of each days milestones/events so then everything would be acknowleged :rotfl:

/pondering.

Yes Beenie I mean ending this one
my thinking is, if the thread closes each day then there will be less bring up of things talked about days ago and therefore less posts to get lost it
and that if people can focus on just one day they won't end up reading loads and forgetting that they'd noticed one post that had been reply-less IYSWIM?

Feely i hope my groups will be a bit like that so i can come away feeling smug From what i remember with DS, everyone was looking down their noses at me cos they were all older, married, loads of money, nice cars etc. Fair enough i was 17 and single but i was hardly tracksuited up with a clown necklace and chavness

(edit - i once knew someone who gave her baby coke (cola!) in a bottle scab. So wrong.)

Aah thanks Sami i didn't think to look in there, and you haven't abandoned me, you lot are keeping me (semi:p) sane!!

No! :rotfl:

Then I'd have to read the end of the previous night's thread (because I don't stay up as late as Elle) and also the start of the new day's thread (because I don't get up as early as Bruno). :rotfl:

Weekly thread?
