  • Try your very best not to worry about it.

    I didn't know I had until I asked the MW as it all happened so fast I knew I was bound to have. No time or inclination for panting inbetween pushing :D. Everything has healed up just fine and you will be amazed at how quickly your body recovers :cool:.

    At my Parentcraft class the MW was telling us that the chances of tearing are pretty low using active birthing and reduced intervention that they practice at our hospital :confused: That put me at ease a little...although she also said that you are unlikely to tear with a waterbirth and ladybird did :D


    I'm bizarrely serene about it all really - que sera, sera!! As long as I get my beautiful Bubba in my arms at the end I would happily walk over hot coals.

    That could be arranged. :confused::D

    Ah, its growing on me! ;). Would your sister not call him Ed? (or is that not allowed?! :o).

    SHE doesn't like Ed either :rolleyes: although she will allow Edward but doesn't like Eddie or Teddy as shortened ones either - Can't wait until she has a sprog of her own :cool:

    The statistics at my hospital scare me a bit:
    http://www.frimleypark.nhs.uk/departments/maternity/statistics

    Episiotomy - total - 607 (14.3%)
    Episiotomy with spontaneous vaginal birth - 220 (8.1%)

    That seems really high!

    Thanks :p my sister has refused to acknowledge Edgar as a name and says she'll call it my the middle name if a boy :rolleyes:

    Sorry, but thats a bit rude, his name is his name...how confused will he be if she calls him by his second name?

  • Right, I've had my fix of MSE now after doing some chores :D.

    The presents keep arriving and my dining room resembles a gift shop. Need to open, write down who has bought what, and then on to the 'thank-yous'. A Mummy's work is never done! ;)

    See y'all later alligator :rotfl:

    The girl's name we like is finally growing on my mum - due to her seeing a little girl on tv with the same name and she decided she liked it by the end of the half hour programme! :rolleyes:

    My MIL is coming over soon and I'm not dressed. Had a nap and woke up feeling worse so don't really want to get dressed either! :cool:

    Lou I love my sis, she's my best friend too but she can be a right biatch sometimes :rolleyes: I'm sure she'd get over it and just use it, but she doesn't see us too much as she lives on the other side of the country
