Oh, birthing pools, that reminds me... Weezl, how much are you thinking of spending? There's a brand new (cancelled home birth) birthing pool and all the kit with it for £120 on our netmums board

ETA: But then again, I get annoyed with people answering the "do you want a boy or a girl?" question with "don't mind, as long as it's healthy".. Would love to know what all these people intend to do with the unwanted unhealthy babies? :cool:

It does seem an unecessary qualification. Perhaps what they are saying is that the health of their baby is more important to them than whether it is a boy or a girl but aren't quite getting the wording right?

My heart wanted to break when she sat on the bed crying with her son at her side .

Like tia said, LO just needs a rest and that's what the ventilator is there for Rhys was on a vent, then came off it on Day 4 (well he pulled the tube out and they went with it!), then back on it on Day 6 (til Day 11). We just had to look at him going back on it as him needing a little reboost

How many weeks was DD?

31wks today. I was just so unprepared! I mean I knew it would be emotional, please don't think I'm ignorant. But I guess I thought it would be different to my births. But it was overwhelming. I felt the same rush that I had when I gave birth, was amazing. Ok, now I feel stoopid. :cool:

I agree - I think it's ignorant. "Boy vs girl" and "unhealthy vs healthy" are not in the same league, imho :cool: Just a touchy subject for me, obviously And, for the record, I never ever said "as long as it's healthy" despite having no idea of what was to come (purposely because my mum had a stillbirth at 36wks before me and I was already well aware the two questions are not in the same league).


Tara, the same as Rhys - 31wks exactly

My mum told me sisters are nasty and horrible when I said I wished I had a sister and that was bad enough.
