    Congratulations :j:j:j:j
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Thanks everyone, what lovely messages to come back to. LP you are clever to interpret the contraction timer stuff. I got my home birth in the end (had to chuck a bit of a strop) but actually the midwives were excellent and highly competent.

    We are all here now, which is a nice thing to know. xxx

    Ahh bless him. Rach had that problem didn't she with Leo. I remember her having trouble getting him to feed until it was done. I believe it is best to get it done early and it isn't too bad for them. Poor little one. I hope otherwise all is well.

    How are you recovering? I didn't hear how much he weighed.
