Hello

Sugar that link made me all weepy I was young when I had Joshua and can remember the slights of most of the nurses, but the midwife who looked after us on the ward was amazing - Then all these years later she delivered Lexi!

My madam hasnt stopped with the crying this morning, we have quite a few teeth poking through so I think it is that. I could do with a bit of sleep though I didnt get a straight hour all night!

Also I dont know if you will see but just wanted to say hope your back soon Susan, will miss you and your tales of what Alice has been up to! Take care x

Hammy - I know I'm not Sami & she has already ansered, but I sent off Liam's passport last Tuesday using the postoffice check and send thingy, and we got it back on Saturday :T

Feel better soon Jillie you've reminded me, GISI did anyone answer your elective c/s question? it is my experience that any woman who has had a previous section (regardless of reason why) will be 'allowed' to have another c/s but I think it would be up to your consultant that you would only get allocated once pg and booked in with the MWs.
I've already forgotten why you had a section but I think it was because bubba was in distress? if so I think it's a pretty random thing that may or may not happen with baby #2 If you would like any info on VBACs or post c/s support let me know and I'll try to digg out the links from the Rad Mid group x

Thanks Sami- no-one did answer!

It wasn't because H was in distress, but because I contracted for 44 hours but never dilated beyond 2 cm. No-one has been able to give me any reason why it happened but H was head down so it wasn't that.

Thanks 3 and WM for sharing your experiences. I'm not sure whether I would want a c-section or a v-bac but I know I'd like to have the option of an elective before I get pregnant again. Does that make any sense at all?!

who was asking bout car seats and easyjet??

It is the accompanying person's responsibility to ensure that the minor is adequately secured into the aircraft seat. To this end easyJet will accept a car seat supplied by the accompanying person for any child over six months for whom an airline seat has been purchased, provided that the car seat has a rigid metal or plastic frame, is no wider than 42cm, includes lap, shoulder and crotch straps, and is upright and forward facing.

Yes very much so. I just didn't like the thought of going through the whole emergency thing again. Buttons being banged on the wall. Doctors and nurses running around. No one telling you whats happening. To know you can have an elective if you want is a relief.

Hope everyone's ok - delighted to hear about baby Poppie's poo!

I'm on an unexpected day off as I have a sickly baby with nasty eyes. Have been given amoxycillin by docs (no problems, this is her most favourite food or drink ever) and eye drops. Question is - how on earth do you put eye drops in a baby? Everytime I get near she clamps them shut and cries a lot.

Thanks in advance

loved that 'one born every minute' last night. cried my eyes out watching it. when they had to do the emer/ c/sect it brought it all back how scared i was etc.
so i have decided, after talking it through with DH that if we do have another, i will ask for an elective section. (well thats the plan, prob change when it comes to making the decision). although DH surprised me as he said he thought i would have to have a c/s anyway as i already had one. (must have read the leaflets they gave us )

it made me cry too- reminded me of my birth too.

haven't been around much at all recently, have been busy doing not a lot! Jessica seems to tak eup all of my time even though she sleeps about 16 hours a day! she is still being really good through the night and only waking up twice at the most, we had a couple of nights this week with one wake up which was great considering she is 4 and a half weeks.

Hope everyone is OK and LOs and OHs are behaving themselves!! x

Gisi You should be under consultant care next time, as WM said and you will be given the option. And, you don't have to make your final decision until near the birth so you'll have plenty of time to ponder.

Hi Sparkle - how lovely that you got the same midwife. Hugs for Lexi's teeth. V's top two have been there and visible for about a week now, but don't seem to want to come through.


I have listed 23 items on ebay this morning - now it's time for lunch I think.
And my paypal balance is standing at £104.29.

Sorry to hear she is poorly! I know this sounds mean but when J was a baby I used to just lay him down and gently pull his lower lid down and drop one in I was being cruel to be kind!!! Sorry not much help I know - have a tissue handy though x

Hi 3, It was a bit strange having the same midwife as while I was pushing I was adamant I had never met her before nor had I delivered J at that hospital (I did) But she was lovely and remembered me too so that was nice as she had just come back in from ML when I had J!

WooHoo for money in paypal - I have loads to list on ebay but cant find the motivation. I think you and SM might have to give me a boot up the bum.
I did however just get rid of all my scrap gold and had £480 paid into my account :j

Lexi's teeth were like that too then I think it was Saturday OH said wow have you seen them and there were a couple poking through :eek: Hope V's dont take too much longer (if they are bothering her that is)
