Congratulations.I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.
Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.0 -
Yes Snaggles, I was having contractions on the Friday before Xmas, so it lasted 5 days. :eek: :eek:
Officially (from 3cm dilated) my labour was 15 hours and I would have signed anything at the point at which the doctor mentioned a c-section!
To be honest, I've almost forgotten about it now. I can honestly say it was completely worth it and I'd do it again in a flash. Isn't Mother Nature clever? :T
Another tip from me - you get so much free stuff in Bounty bags from the hospital I wouldn't buy any wash powder or fabric conditioner. We currently have a cupboard full, in addition to what we bought. You get quite a lot of baby wipes too, so you could use these before deciding what you want to do.:money:MSE Parent Club Member #1Yummy slummy mummy club member50% slummy, 50% mummy, 100% proudImogen born Boxing Day 2006Alex born 13 July 20090 -
Good job I started this thread 'cos I need your help!
Can anyone recommend somewhere I can get a couple of basic breastfeeding tops? I don't want to spend a fortune and just need one or two basic, long-sleeved ones to wear when I'm out. I can see plenty on ebay but they will be around £30 each by the time I've paid postage, and I want to spend less than this if I can. Any ideas?!!MSE Parent Club Member #1Yummy slummy mummy club member50% slummy, 50% mummy, 100% proudImogen born Boxing Day 2006Alex born 13 July 20090
