yay! sunshine for once!

Thomas still having his 11am snooze (delayed by 30 mins of screaming!) and we are supposed to be at his grandma and grandad's for lunch at 1pm - they are creatures of habit! - ooops!

A really stupid question - realised yesterday talking to a friend about my birth that I still have major issues with Thomas' arrival and the whole 40 hour failed induction/caesarean process, am I being pathetic? Do birth counsellors or something like that exist? Quite how paying for one of those will fit in with my new found non-wealth on smp I don't know but will worry about that later.

Better go and get little man ready.

Unfortunatley not all babies are creatures of habit - I'm sure they won't mind waiting!

Not a stupid question at all, in fact it was discussed yesterday! I think you could speak to a Midwife about it but you certainly wouldn't need to pay for it. It was mentioned yesterday that putting it into words can help so if you want to post on here your entire birth story and all your issues it might make you feel a little bit better

I can recommend the C&G Banana & Strawberry Porridge, it was worth the faff making it with formula but J wolfed it down with a huge grin on his face and I even thought it was quite yummy!

Jillie - I'll need a highchair on Tuesday thinking about it. SeptemberBaby said she might be along as well.

You can ask to go through your birth notes with a midwife. But TBH at this stage I would expect that most of us still had issues with our birth experiences. It is bound to be very raw at 5 or 6 weeks in so try not to worry too much yet and give yourself some time.

There are quite a few ladies on here who are struggling to come to terms with their experiences and quite a few of them are because of an Emergency Caesarean. You are not alone xx

It was mainly older ladies who went to the gym I used. The worst day was when I opened the changing room door just at the same time as an old lady bent to to pick her cossie off the floor so I was greeted with a big wrinkly bum and saggy flaps - yuk!!!!

Have a good day everyone

no way! I totally thought I'd be on there, feel like I'm very chatty :rotfl:but I think maybe it's my early nights

Is everyone ok today, we had quite a deep and meaningful day yesterday didn't we?

Hugs for all who'd like one

Bounty have written to tell be that Kester is 40 cm long and I must pack my hospital bag STAT! Who'd have thought they'd be so bossy?!

I am having luggage issues though, my gym bag's got a bust zip, so can't really use that...

Also am having psychological issues with what they want me to pack. If I go in it's because something's gone pear-shaped in which case I really don't think I'm going to be giving a figgy pudding about whether I have my 'lipstick for that first mummy and baby pic' or 'scented spritzing spray to sooth me in the early phases' or 'MP3 playlist of my most motivational tracks'. (would really like to do a little blue eye-rolling smiley here!)

*can't help but think that bounty are encouraging a false image of what to expect in labour, it's not a flipping spa day!*

:rotfl::rotfl::Twhen Weezlie is in this sort of mood it makes love you even more!:D
My transfer bag had, nursing nighty, fluffy socks, light dressing gown 2 pair knickers, 1 nursing bra, 1pk mat pads, hand ful breast pads, pot of vaseline, toothbrush mini toothpaste, 1 outfit for baby 1 towel and spare glasses (Chris was very blurry for the first 5hrs coz I took mine off at home and forgot about them :rotfl::o)
The bag was absolutely tiny compared to what I had with me for Chris's birth
