MSE Parents Club Part 10

I won't say much because I'm sure weezl n mel don't want to know about it but what happened (from the minimal facts we know) sounds like the result would have quite similar in a hospital birth.
I think the main issue is why she was having a homebirth? ie. was it because the MW should have but didn't reffer her to a consultant/did the mother purposely go against medical advice?
because it sounds like if she'd seen a consultant they would have strongly recommended a planned c/s or being induced early

3 - a friend of mine had 2 12lbers and she's a similar size to me :eek:

Considering Poppy: 8lb 11.5oz, Jamie: 10lb 12.5oz, baby No3: 12lb 13.5oz!?! :eek::rotfl::eek:


After our 'talk' we have decided against number 3 (for now ).

Looking at the potential size of No.3, I can't say i'd look forward to it.

My little 6lb 12oz hurt enough thank you.

I read an article and it seems that the mother had undiagnosed GD, although it's not clear if she refused the GTT or if the midwife was negligent.

I think the midwife should have had an assistant at the very least.

I haven't read the article but did she have lots of scans (like I did) progressing the big size of baby? Consultant knew how big Jamie was but would not entertain early inducement.

And Weezl of course!

Morning all - I think the forums should close every night, then I don't have pages to catch up on.

My DD1 one is saying she has a bad headache this morning (and last night, and yesterday morning). It's not like her to be ill, she's had 100% attendance certificates in school every year except one. But how do you tell if she's really got a headache or just doesn't fancy school today?
Do I be nice and let her stay in bed and be pampered, or do I be wicked and kick her !!! to school?

Weezl of course.

Would be a good idea to close the forums, then i'm forced to bed, rather than 00:30 Although Angela would wake up and have nowhere to go, so maybe not a great idea

I'd be inclined to believe her if she has 100% attendance. I'd have given her some painkillers before school to see if it helped and then made a judgement call late on.

He might not be smelly...

MOTM I couldn't abide that BB Mikey, he flagrantly thought he'd get the pity vote and his face when he didn't win was a picture.

All men are smelly...Am I allowed to man bash? Well, i'm not smelly, I don't think :eek: but boys smell. I've been told this by my girls smell and suck :rotfl:

Yes, that Mikey played on his disability and thought even with his foul mouth he'd win, so his face and his false 'I'm glad Rachel won' statements, were quite amusing. Although seeing lovely Rachel's face of shock when she won, was even better. Sometimes the good ones do win

MOTM - Vinnie to win please !!

:eek: No! Not him! :rotfl:

Glamazon

Mookie - Excellent news, what a clever girl :T

Scruffy - sorry to hear your news

Hammy - Poor David hope he feels better soon. Have fun tonight!

Choppy - Glad Caitlin is feeling better

AF - Sorry you are feeling down. I plan not to get into any politics when I return to work, just keep my head down and get on with it so I can get home to my baby.

Feelie & Lady - Gorgeous piccie! What beautiful children!

Go Amber :dance:I forgot to post about 32B's news yesterday as well :doh:

FAIRYDAWN!!!! Hello hun :hello: Oscar is looking extrememly cute in your avvy but I suspect that pciture is from newborn! Teeth!!! Aw bless him.
Lovely to 'see' you!

3 - I'd do the driving course - not that I've ever had to but if it means no points I'd do it!

SB - Sorry to hear number 3 won't be happening soon but I'm sure it won't be long

I think that my GD might have been undiagnosed IF I had had my GTT at 24 weeks like I was supposed to. I put it off til 30 weeks (1st July) cos I knew OH would have been on hols for the whole of June so didn't know if I'd be around. I was borderline at 30weeks but between 30w and 37w it got progressively worse.

I wanted Nicola to win CBB - I've not been watching it but some of the comments she has come out with have been really funny! I can't imagien telling Vinnie Jones he had put weight on :eek:

No SM and her news yet then! Little tyke is keeping us waiting

AF has arrived so no BFP for me :j:(:(:(:(

Feel relieved but also disappointed, am debating whether to get a coil fitted or just stick with raincoats as we are considering trying for Number 2 in December :j

Been out and stocked up on beer for the lads and collected a parcel. Just waiting and hoping my raincover comes for the Aria so me & J can go on Pram Walk!

Phew - that was a long post!

morning all,
i am really really struggling being back at work. i love what i do, but there is so much going on in the company that staff moral is at an all time low

Is there ANY way you can change jobs? I know that may sound extreme, but more often than not, when morale hits rock bottom and you really struggle in the workplace, it doesn't get much better. Sorry if that's not what you wanted/needed to hear, but i've left jobs because of others and having to bite my lip/restraining my right hand from moving too fast in others directions. When I was 18, I hated a job so much because of colleagues I had to just walk out after a while or i'd have done something that would have got me in trouble and i've said ever since that i'd not make myself unhappy, as it affects all other aspects of your life.

I knew I liked you She was funny and sweet.but not Welsh

I'd love to tell Vinnie he's a fatty. He's smaller build than me and not trained in what i'm trained in, so he wouldn't worry me. Alex may be another matter. Mr Cage Fighter :eek: but he seems alright. Shame about his taste in women :whistle:
