    Glam, waiting on DH taking it to someone to get fixed :(

    If it makes you feel better, Amber woke every hour last night. Even good sleepers have off nights.

    Her tummy is so sorewith that milk, she has been crying since lunch time.

    Thank you :) I know Im being stupid as babies cry but I get so hot and flustered and feel like Im being judged when she doesnt stop but I dont want to be inside with her all the time as that makes it worse :o
    .

    It's all other mums/dads at massage so unless they have some GM super baby their babies will be crying too therefore no one will be judging you. The first time is always the worst. Big deep breath and you'll be fine x

    Tia Boots are normally quite good with swapping things, I know products like baby milk are normally exempt but if it's not agreeing with her its worth asking. Ive taken moisturiser back to Boots once as it brought me out in a rash :o

    I hated the fact the midwives kept asking me complicated questions when it was all I could do to breathe the G&A. Isla had the cord twice round her neck, mec in waters and her heartbeat was dropping to 6bpm with each contraction so when they were asking 'what is it you wanted to do with the cord/placenta delivery' I was ready to scream (even more than I was already!) Everything was in my birth plan but no-one looked at it.

    Unbelievable *rolleyes*
    It all started to go wrong for us when OH was out of the room getting something to eat. He'd left his phone number in the pocket of my jeans. I was on oxygen with one midwife palpating my belly, another looking for Molly's heartbeat, one doing ultrasound, one holding an oxygen mask on to me, one preparing me for surgery (with antibac soap and a Bic razor :eek:) and one shouting at the doctor. I asked if someone could call OH and they asked me to give them his mobile number. I said it was in my jeans pocket and pointed and they reminded me I wasn't wearing any pants. Eventually my trousers were located but I had to take the number out of the pocket and hand it over.

    *waits impatiently for Glam's stick*
    Poor Amber :(

    3 - LO is now a 'confident' walker and she's still got a couple of weeks left in gymbabes. at the end of this next group of sessions we are moving up a class, where she'll be back to being bottom of the class!

    we walked to a friends house today which is about 5mins away. LO wore her reins and we walked holding hands - it took us almost 20 minutes as every lampost and bush was very interesting ;)
    WOW!!! :T I couldn't have walked anywhere with Chris until at least 18months, she's so clever! x

    We were at Fairfield, Bolton next time as Fairfield is due to close. Yep, same thing head had not straightened up, so no amount of pushing from me was going to get him out! lol!! I think its cos i was induced that he didnt have time to get into the right position. Was ventouse,then forceps at which point my pethidine (wasnt this but similar) had worn off and i could only have gas and air!!! then it was emer c/s. Pretty hard going!!! and my waters had to be broken....

    thats how i kinda felt yesterday. they had snacks for the kids and it was all choc donuts, pringels etc...may stick with the surestart ones as when they provide food its healthy etc.
    ...
    depending on when did they broke your waters it could have contributed to him not turning.
    eep at snacks!!
    if you wanted to just say/type something about SIL you could put it in the FB group then it can't be search on google like here can x

    Edit: 3, I didn't get the BFP I was looking for and when Krystal tested I kind of hoped she'd get it instead. But she didn't... someone's got my BFP (Glam, any stick-peeing to report?)
    it would be an immaculate conception but I'd like a BFP :shhh:

    csh - My sis used to work in a hosp that had a special liver unit and she saw lots of people dying in there waiting for a transplant because they had ODed as a cry for help but didn't realise how much irepairable damage it can do :(

    SS - I think that was a troll xx

    had more to say but well...

    ELLE
    we may be going to my sis's for a bit while OH is away in feb :D
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Tigsteroonie (Tigs) – Mum to Andrew, b. August 2009 (prem) – SAHM&D just now
    Wi3adora (Dora) - Mum to Daniel born April 09

    Not sure if you think it would be too long or whatever. If people want me to keep adding to it, put what you want in bold so I see it and I will add it into the 1 post. Then, once it's done, if anyone wants to update it, they can repost at any time. If it doesn't catch on, that's fine. I have put it in alphabetical order. It would need a name like "Parent's List", "Personnel List" or "Member's List" so that people could search for it.

    Do you think it was a troll? I actually thought it might be someone from here who had set up a different user name as they didn't want to be recognised?
