Grr pesky person on freegle has e-mailed me asking if OH can collect something on his way home from work but didn't give any contact details so now I'm having to keep checking my e-mail to see if I've had a reply.

And pesky daughter has gone to sleep just when I've got the kitchen table all set up for egg painting.

Sounds horrid Mel, what one did you go to so I can cross it off?

Buttonmoons

I said some freaky things during labour. I still recall asking the EVIL midwives if they had ever delivered a stillborn baby. Why? I don't know. They put Keira on my chest though and she wasn't breathing and I freaked out and started screaming about my baby being dead. Thing is though - BABY HAS STUFF IN ITS LUNGS, HOW ABOUT CLEARING THEM FIRST BEFORE PUTTING HER ON MY CHEST?!!

Crivvens!

searching_me

sami ... yes we are .. well at least til the 17th of april when i get paid x

tiamai_d

Buttons, was she still attatched to you? It's better to wait till the cord has stopped pulsating before cutting it so they do tend to plop em on you and they don't have to breath till the cord has been cut.

Still, it would be nice to have all that explained first!

Buttonmoons

No I think it had been cut by that point actually, as I remember them asking Idris' if he wanted to do it and he was like "URGHHHH" and then they put her on my chest. So I presume they just done it?

Who knows. But yes, explaining things would of been nice, think they just thought I was some chavvy 18yo and not worth the bother tbh!

More fun than waiting for boiled eggs to cool. (Because we have to give OH's family some kind of Easter thing and Alice is going to paint them.)

Arent you meant to blow them rather than boil? sister did this with some and then they smelt bad cos they went off after a while.. am jealous though cos I was gonna do this with Henry for horticultural show on Saturday and now they have cancelled it due to lack of flowers!!!

Buttonmoons

How do you cook an egg by blowing?!!


Susan I always plonk boiled eggs in ice water when I want them sharpish!

I think a lot of the times they just forget that women are not trained midwives so dont know what the hell is going on...

Buttonmoons

Nah they were just totally looking down on me, kept telling me to "grow up" because I was crying, but they weren't giving me any pain relief!! I went into hospital at 8am, and didn't get any gas and air until 8/9pm!!

"It doesn't hurt yet" HOW THE HELL DID THEY KNOW! YES IT DID!!!

Then I got "tuts and hmmphs" when I said no to a room of students coming into watch me give birth. Sod them.
