Tine, DH had already taken squillions with his SLR from the minute Jamie was born but I just had to buy the package! :rotfl:.

One thing, am I allowed to use the flash with the newborn? I notice most peoples 'first' baby pictures are blurry - is there a reason why I can't use the flash?

I'm not taking enough after mum to be able to do with what she did - she wore her prepregnancy jeans when she left hospital! :eek: but then unlike everyone else on the maternity ward she looked like she'd never given birth after she had me. So much so that people didn't realise I was hers if they hadn't spoken to her before I arrived. So unfair...

I did this too! With no 1 I had a planned C section, and I remember lying on the operating table after they had sewed me back up, and looking down and thinking where has my bump gone! I left hospital 5 days later wearing a pair of jogging bottoms (not maternity) in my pre-pregnancy size. With no 2 I had a VBAC and again was in the shower after the birth thinking where has my bump gone. I then had a huge post partum haemorredge and was very poorly and in hospital for 10 days, and left in a pair of jeans which had been too small for me before I got pregnant. Both times I had a normal size bump so it wasn't that I didn't put a lot of weight on in pregnancy. I think it is the luck of your genes (ho ho!) as to how quickly you snap back into shape, but if your mum did quickly there must be a chance you will too.

No-one mentioned not using a flash. Blurry maybe as hands are shaking??

Will dig out first photo of my DS and see if its blurry

LOL don't worry!!! And more to the point: Go home in what you think YOU will be comfy in Sod what anyone thinks

In that case, I'll be coming home in my pyjamas :rotfl: (I've lived in them for so long now, I dread the thought of having to revert back to normal clothes!)

There's no reason why you can't use a flash hun.

Maybe those people you are talking about either haven't held the camera still, have a crap camera, or just can't take photos well lol x
