Hiya, just back from A&E.

Non-crawling/rolling fergie figured it out and nosedived onto hard tiled kitchen floor from 1 metre height while I turned away to bin the nappy.

Stupid complacent weezl

Pupil dilation normal, no fits or vomiting, so probably ok but we need to monitor overnight.

Going to catch up now...

Oh poor you!! Amazing things babies, they do bounce quite well!

Can I moan about my belly too? It looks like a jelly, only one that has been had at by some young children and then they have tried to put it back together again It's horrid, I'd want liposuction and a tummy tuck but I've seen someone with a huge scar right the way round her abdomen after it went wrong :eek:

Glam, they kept telling me to test my sugars and I always forgot, I was like hell no - CHOCOLATEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and just a little tiny OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! I have less than 3 days to organise a party for 20 7-8year olds! DS1 just anounced that he has told half his class he is having a party at the coffee shop. Got cramp writing invites... :cool:

Tine, I wasn't sure if you meant you wanted to find out more about HBs or if you are sure you wouldn't want one cos of alex's birth? Sorry I'm being thick I think it's the day I've had

I'm 100% sure that I wouldn't want to risk a home birth after delivering Alex in hospital - hearing those words "Mrs T - we're going to have a lot of people in here in a minute because your baby is in distress and she needs to come out RIGHT now!" - really brought home the need to me for being in hospital eventhough I had what would be described medically as a non-risk pregnancy/delivery etc... It took hubby over 20 minutes to get us to the hospital and trust me no ambulance would have made it any quicker (middle of the night, no traffic so flashing lights would have been of no use anyway ) and the speed that Alex had to come out at just means to me there is no justification for having a home birth no matter how non-risk it seems...
I do appreciate my view is skewed a bit because of my delivery though - but if anyone puts forward all the pro's of home birth I'll happily put forward the risks too! My experience was that hospital was the right place to be - both from a pain control and safety point of view. No-one could have predicted Alex would be slightly rotated or that she would end up in distress... So no matter how "non-risk" I'm judged to be if I have another I would be heading for the maternity ward the second I felt a twinge
Sure things go wrong in hospitals too - but I dread to think what might have happened if I had decided to have a HB... what might have happened to Alex - or me for that matter when I tore so badly that the bleeding wouldn't stop... See I just can't see there is an argument strong enough the other way looking at it than that

OH is still at work.. four hours overtime and counting.. All the production lines have been shut down for months and now the big boss promised the massive boss (in China) that we would have production up and running again today. Because they didn't clean everything properly, something's broken - only just discovered at 6pm! - so the engineers have now had to make a new one and now they're putting it all back together with OH on standby in case they blow the place up whilst welding.. What joy!

Rhys is zonked out in his chair, oblivious I've eaten five pieces of rocky road and had three cuppas.. Probably ought to have something proper for tea!

ETA: Re home births, if I'd have gotten to 40wks and full blown labour with undetected VP, the contractions would probably have snapped the other two vessels and me and Rhys would have been a dead heap on the floor. No contest.. hospital birth, elective c-section preferably, all the way for me next time (ya know, if/when). Can see why it would be an attractive prospect from a calmness point of view, but one (very!) dodgy birth is enough to put me off for life (like MrsT).

ps Glam-- you need to update your sig

Hiya Jillie :hello:

Rhys is still fitting in some "upto 6lb" stuff despite being 7lb so I reckon it's worth doing like you say and getting a few smaller bits just in case. The basic sleepsuits and vests were about £1.50-2 for a pack of three so won't break the bank. And if you do get a dinky one (the dinky one's are awesome, btw ) I'm sure the fairies will be able to oblige..

ETA: I posted the first few sizes from Asda, Tesco and M&S here

I'll seriously look into a homebirth and independant midwife next time, perhaps might be able to avoid the cascade of intervention. Depends though, if I need an induced labour I'll go to hospital.

My fairy's gave away the only 2 newborn items I bought... Completely unworn... Even when she was all curled up straight from the womb she didn't fit in them...
