Kelinik, I'm sorry I have no previous experience, but homebirth.org has a really good section on big babies and how it can still be safe to labour at home

The main objection is usually fear of shoulder dystocia, but from what I know you have none of the risk factors. Happy to say more about that if you'd like me to xxx

Thanks chicken, since you posted the link the other day I've read that page several times.

Have completely swotted up on shoulder dystocia, why it occurs and how it is dealt with (knowledge is power right) and it seems that is little that can be done in hospital that can't be done at home, if it even occured anyway (was fine before). Always interested if something opposing this comes up though ta. x

Anyway I'm quite happy to send my free pack of 1st sized huggies voucher to one of you girls that are going with disposables - size one only goes up to 11lb so I'm going to by size 2 from the off!

How we all doing girls? Gonna catch up in a mo,hopefully see a birth announcement from Csh or Squishy!

Been feeling abit sicky on and off yesterday and today, and I've started to lose my plug in tiny amounts. Not looking too much into it as Im aware that I could still be waiting weeks for anything to happen. 37 weeks tommorow :jfully cooked! So whenever he wants to out in an appearance from then is fine by me,I think I'm more or less ready. I'm re painting my kitchen tommorow and plan to wash and dry a washer load of baby clothes as just seen the weather forcast for tommorow and it said sunshine.

Sorry really poorley now so cant read through properly - hugs and vibes to CSH / Squishy.

I was just trying to figure out if i was eligible to any help as i am not eligible for SMP or MA and came accross this http://www.dwp.gov.uk/publications/specialist-guides/technical-guidance/ni17a-a-guide-to-maternity/

Also NCT do a reduced yearly fee and course fee for those on a low income - which means i can do antenatal now with some of my hipg in addition to my 1 day class provided by nhs

Oooh i hadn't really thought about this too much, but just to revert back to my earlier post when i said i bought a breast pump from the car boot £3.

So i wanted to pose a question to you all, be brutally honest....

Would you use a 2nd hand breast pump?


Have seen conflicting, yet strong opinions elsewhere on the web, so just curious

Yes. It will be sterillised so I don't see a problem I've got a 2nd hand Medela swing. xx

I have a question relating to anniversary's

Me and OH met in Feb and we always celebrated that as our anniversary then we got engaged in Sept

So now I am confused over which one we should celebrate as our anniversary?

I mean we cant really have two?

OH has just made me a cheese toastie sarnie nom nom nom

BeenieCat

IMO kindof, you'd celebrate the meeting one, and then when you're married forget both previous dates and celebrate wedding only.
