I use a powder mineral foundation, works out at about £25 because I mix two samples of a different shade into a full pot of another shade, but lasts me about 6 months. Actually the one I have now I bought when pregnant! And I use it almost every day. Liquid stuff gives me spots no matter what brand (and I've tried body shop, clinique, este lauder, no7, you name it!) from here http://www.elementalbeauty.co.uk/

Not read back, but due to the time that I had my abruption (5.10pm), there was only 1 anaesthetist on duty who was busy elsewhere which meant a delay of more than an hour for me to get a C section because they had to wait on an on-call anaesthetist (they actually called 2 and it was the first one to arrive who put me to sleep, he had been out for a meal with his wife.). Had I bled 30mins earlier, there would have been 3 available in the hospital. There were also no rooms available due to electives being finished off and only 1 team to clean and prep the rooms afterwards.

I wonder if there is a difference between Scotland and England then Tia? The study does say that it is based on Scottish births.

I had 2 anaesthatists with me in the middle of the night on a Friday night so I know that there were at least 2 in my hospital.


Although there is a difference from town to town so it could have been different had I lived 5 minutes up the road next door to the lovely Krystal (she belongs to a different hospital to me).

I must admit i can sometime make a bottle of foundation last for near on 2 years LOL. I get another 3 weeks or so out of it just by cutting it open and getting the dregs out :rotfl: I am such a tight wad Think my current bottle is a year old and i'm almost at the cutting it open stage

I used to have a mascara that was in a pink bottle with lime green lid and loved it but haven't seen it since - does anyone know what it is?

I wonder if the care is sometimes better in the day purely cos of the management milling around lol

DS was born on at Saturday 3am and they kept abandoning me and going to gossip at the station even though i'd complained i needed to push "oh it's your first, just calm down it'll be ages yet" ...ages later when i demand they examine.. "oh you're 10cm and the head is coming how did that happen"

Mupettes!

I'd never thought about it being the time of day though, surely they're busier in the daytime anyway with inductions etc being just in?

Hmm, i guess im lucky Lily was born at 1pm on a Wednesday then

We are having a break from packing for lunch, just had a fruit and yogurt pot from tesco, it was yummy. But im slightly annoyed at their sneakyness.

The pot was reduced from £1.30 to 95p, which isn't too bad. I get home and find that the actual pot is on offer for £1, but thats hidden behind the yellow reduced sticker lol.

So i only saved 5p anyway!


I think Lily has officially learnt to roll onto her front, before it could of been an accident. But we've found her on her front during the night pretty much most nights now, and when i left her in her cot today so i could pack she did it again
She always looks so proud of herself when she's done it

The hospital did admit that they were understaffed and not prepared for an emergency such as mine. It's been changed a little, there are more on site staff now, but it's still mostly on-call staff, even when I was in with Amber it was still call to get someone in rather than there being someone there. Or borrow one from the big hospital (I had Amber at the new hospital which is next to a big A&E fully staffed hospital, Chris was at the old one which was a maternity and a day care clinic hospital next door).

Lol Beenie, one night I was in for monitoring I heard a woman next door arguing with a doctor and nurse, they were yelling at her that she needs a section now, she was screaming back that 'it's out! it's out!!!!' finally the nurse decides to look and yells 'Oh my God!!! We have a BABY!!!!' She had delivered the baby under a sheet onto the bed. I spoke to her a few days later.

I was lucky in that I announced it was time for an epidural and the anaesthetist was just finishing up in the next room, so I was still peeing when he arrived and he had to wait for me :eek: but that was 4pm on a Tuesday.

No problems with my nighttime birth but my sister always says don't have an emergency in august as that is when rotations start so all the doctors are new. (also if you say chest pain you get seen straight away!)

Snotty nosed baby here, she had me up all night wanting to feed hope she is better by Monday because we are going to visit my sister.

Redstararnie, have you thought about taking your LO swimming yourself and seeing how she is? My dad taught me to swim
