Sounds like a great birth Harley - apart from the tearing - so heal quick vibes coming your way. I love the bit about you thinking it was just baby moving more, I hope it's like that for me :rolleyes:.

Hope you reach that cloud 10 soon and stay there for a while, you deserve it.

Congratulations Harley :beer: :beer: And welcome to Kezia! :j

Not so great news about the tear, hope you heal quickly Rest of the birth sounds good tho, check you out only on the gas and air and not realising you were in labour Mrs 'I can't cope with pain', we all knew you could do it chick
Oh and 29th Sept, best time ever to have a birthday, just ask my DD :rotfl:

Sounds like you are getting good support from your parents and heres hoping your Dad manages to fend off visitors for a wee while longer!

Well I'm obviously still here :rolleyes: Not much sign of anything happening. Am booked for induction Thursday, 40+14 by then! So busy they can't take me earlier :mad: and Squishy is booked in for Monday but looking like she may go on her own.

Take care and rest up and most of all enjoy your baby girl

MERFE

Congratulations harley x

I'm not looking forward to work today, I'm probably going to burst into tears when i see my manager and i dont want to upset her, she has had some terrible news since I last saw her and I'm an emotional wreck at the mo. I hope its busy today for the distraction.

Hello Ladies and bumps.

Just quickly popping on to let you know that my gorgeous Daughter, Kezia Iris Mae arrived at 5.54 am Tuesday 29th Sept. She weighed 7lb 11oz and is absolutely wonderful. I fell in love with her the minute I saw her and that feeling has gotten stronger every day since.

Think it was a fairly easy labour from what I can recall, but was so quick I could only have gas and air. Ended up with a quite nasty tear, hence having to stay in hospital until today.

Hopefully someone saw some of the messages on facebook and came on to update you. Hope too that Squishy and csh have their babies now too.

I'm heading back through to try to catch up now but vibes, hugs and welcomes to all in need.

Harley

Oohh that sounds really nice!! I will try to remember that one. \do you have any recommendations on what pool to get? I'm thinking of having a pool for my HB

I borrowed my friend's. She bought a huge paddling pool for her future children and to labour in. Very :money:. It was great with very high sides. Also quite amusing to have such a basic, earthy, medicalish thing going on (birth) whilst cartoon smily octopuses and fish look on happily :rotfl:.

The homebirth.org websites shows good pics of some that you can hire I think....

edit: yep, click waterbirth, then 'choosing a pool'. (sorry it doesn't seperate it's pages that site, so I can't link to the specific bit!)

Yay harley, congratulations:T:T:T:T, what beautiful names (Iris is my middle name choice too after my lovely Grannie)

someone was saying (sorry multi quote didn't work!) about the vitamin thing and exceeding the RDA? Was it you Helen?

Well DH was very concerned about the same thing when I bought all the vitamins for Fergus' delivery.

So I looked up to see if there were any recorded incidents of toxicity to mother or baby caused by vitamin or mineral overdose.

The results were, that in the first trimester there can be damage to cranial-neural crest if you take too much Vit A (therefore no liver in PG and no Vit A in pregnancy vitamins).

The only other study suggesting toxicity was a one-off case study saying that a woman has ingested 10000 times the RDA of Iron, had her baby (healthy) and then died 2 days after the birth. On looking at the amount of iron it was, I think she must've swallowed a nail :eek:.

So I felt happy to go ahead, but obviously I don't mean I am advising that anyone do this, it's just the information which made me feel it was Ok IYSWIM? :D

Morning all, labor vibes for csh and squishy.
Massive healing vibes for harley.

Well i have managed to square the kitchen in time for kids getting up to mess it again(men and their midnight snacks:mad:). Washing is in. And i have sorted out the chops for tea. All of it done just to avoid doing the outside of windows, no idea what has happened but one of my blinds have slipped down and the window won't open without ripping the blind unit from the frame. Need to charge the drill i think just in case the fixings come out.

It's a beautiful day and the sun is shinning through the window and driving me nuts lol.

I'm 23 wks today:eek::j

Hey Glam! I am ok. Still lurking over here a bit (although not managing to keep up with all the posts)! Just been checking in for updates/important news. Keep meaning to migrate to the Parent thread, but it moves too quickly and I feel I just have loads of questions that everyone else covered ages ago, so not sure I will bother.

How are you and Jack getting on? Holly doesn't quite seem herself the past couple of days. Still, she is crying very rarely (only when demanding her bottle) so counting myself lucky!

Ask away over on the parent thread - that's what I do.

Jack is fab - has his off days as well but had a feed at 11.30am, then 3.30am, then when he woke at 7.30am I put him in bed with me and he's only just stirring now :j

Jack cries a bit more now he's older and farts like a trooper :rotfl:

I agree with Glam, fitz, do please feel free to just pop in (no need to catch up if you've no time/energy) and ask away! There's no feeling of 'oh that's a question we've answered before!' because a) there often isn't a definitive answer anyway! and b) we've all got baby brain so we can't remember we've written it before :rotfl:. And it's lovely having the newborn ones amongst us
