Afternoon all.

We have had fun playing at tourists with Feelie and Toby. We went to the Cathedral and a museum. We also had cake and cheesy chips. And saw some massive dogs.

I'm now defrosting the freezer which is far less interesting!

Sounds like I'm going to an ann summers night tomorrow night. I had said I might go, but DH is now making plans around me going, which means if I don't go I'm going to feel mean stopping him doing what he would have done otherwise. It should be fun anyway ... I bed Ann Summers don't sell nursing bras though

GAH!

The bloody bank haven't cleared my salary OR my back paid maternity pay. I need to transfer money to my UK account and can't because I don't have any. GRargh.

Ladybird, Ann Summers don't have nursing bras but they do have quarter cup bras :rotfl:

Edit: And GAAAAHHHH OH failed to book a restaurant for dinner tomorrow night. Tomorrow is our anniversary, and the first and second choice restaurants are fully effing booked. We're going to end up getting Indian takeaway, I know it.

To rephrase, one baby who required resus, DS1. DS2's placenta was already fully detached when they opened me up and Amber wailed before her cord was cut (I could see it dangling down when she was lifted up for me to see).

Just because a baby needs resusitation to start breathing after the cord is cut doesn't automatically mean that the cord cutting has been harmful but just that once they have cut the cord, they are on a much shorter time scale to get the baby breathing before harm occurs so it is more risky.

If the placenta is detached already then (as with cord prolapse) that lifeline has already been severed and the baby needs to be born and breathing ASAP (which is why cord prolapse is an emergency CS if birth is not imminent). In this case cord clamping/cutting is probably pretty irrelevent since the cord/placenta are no longer functioning normally anyway.

Once the baby has already started breathing then cord clamping/cutting is not going to cut off their oxygen supply so it is just a case of slightly reduced blood volume if cord clamping/cutting is not delayed.

I've looked in my bookmarks and I have two articles about cord clamping which may be of interest.
http://onyx-ii.com/birthsong/page.cfm?cord The writer is an Australian GP IIRC and a little bit "hippy"-ish.
http://whale.to/a/morley1.html The writer is a retired obstetritian with a whole website full of information on cord clamping.

what do you use in the car to keep them amused??? the toys that you get to hang off the handles of the car seat are no good now. i am at a loss as to what to get to keep her occupied/stimulated in the car

I used to attach a toy to the strap (one of those dangly toys with a loop with velcro on) and later on we had a buggy buddies book hanging from the handle on the ceiling. Music/story tapes/chatting worked for us too.
