    Carrot goes down well here too. Today Andrew had potato & broccoli, loved it. Just need to add the steak now!



    I believe you're genuine :D You're our lovely Feelie :D

    I've not mixed anything yet! I am going to get him some brocolli tomorrow - does it puree OK?

    So far he's had Apple, Pear, Banana, Sweet Potato and Carrot. I'm going to get him Brocolli, Parsnip & butternut Squash tomorrow - once he's had something once and been OK I will start mixing!

    J had a 2hr nap this afternoon and I did a load more purees, had a tidy round and got up to date with stuff. He is in bed now and because I thought it was Friday I put myself a can of Bulmers in the fridge so I'm drinking that now!

    I'm real - can be verified by Sami, 3, Sparkle, MFD, Fritha, Feelie & those I have sent fairypost to Elle, Tia & Tigs :)

    Hi NMS - Did you say you were coming Tuesday? Would be lovely to see you :) oh and JAM wear your sling!!

    MM - Checked distance to Preston, would be over a 60mile round trip and I don't think I could do an evening after 6pm or a Sunday :(

    Where does the time go? :think:

    Weezl - just waiting for the pics to upload, latest I have is from Christmas.

    I agree with your definitions. I think it this poster falls into the latter, non-troll, category I could actually feel quite sorry for her. We don't know her background but my first thought was someone who either can't have or has lost babies and is trying to live her ideal life through a website where she is accepted as a mum (obviously, I could be way out though!)

    like the new avvy :)

    Yep, it could be a really sad back-story. :( 4000 posts though. That's more than me :rotfl:

    Did you have pre eclampsia? Having a de-breif is a good idea if you have questions about what happened and why. The sooner the better too, don't let it fester away.




    Hi Tia,

    No I was induced early and about 12 hours later my placenta abbrupted (? spelling) and I lost over 3 pints of blood had an emergency c-section and then had to have an iron IV for 2 weeks as my iron count went down to 7.6, which I understand is quite low.

    Not quite the water birth I was hoping for, and combined with my waters leaking from 32 weeks I would like some reassurance about why all of this happened, and if my body could cope with pregnancy/ childbirth again.

    I would like to do it again as until 32 weeks I had such an easy time and loved being pg, but if I can't do it again we would definitely look to adopt as I want at least 2 bambinos (preferably 3)

    Hiya carla, we missed you ;)

    bounty told me today he is over 40 cm long :eek:. I'm gonna pack a bag soon too...

    He's very kicky, but less hiccups than ferg and shorter fingernails so far. That sounds weird but I could feel ferg's fingernails when he swooshed his fist in front of his head to try to suck his thumb.

    Is this TMI? :o

    Glam, Rose loves brocolli. It seemed a bit strong to start with so i mixed it with cauli then gradually reduced the amount of cauli i was mixing with it. It just mashes with a fork easily x

    Ladies and gentlemen...

    We have poopsplosion! :T :T

    After phoning NHS Direct this morning, they told me to give him the cooled boiled water. Over the course of the afternoon, I prolly got about 1.5oz into him. This evening, we have the doctor's appt and he says all is fine and subscribes suppositories (said this is normal and usually the result of developing/immature bowels in babies) to help move things along.

    WELL, we open the nappy to give him the suppository and there's about a 10p piece of dark poo in the nappy. This is encouraging, so I prep the suppository and inserting it quite reasonably upsets him, which results in poopsplosions lasting for the next 15 minutes! :rotfl:He actually pooed out the pill twice so he hasn't actually had it. But he's pooed for England now and hopefully the stimulation/water was enough to kick-start things back to normalcy. But now I have loads of spare medicine if he doesn't go again after this!

    wow, that was probably the longest Parent Thread post on record about poo! :rotfl: :rotfl: :T
