  • Congratulations! Enjoy every second - I know it is a cliche (sp?) but they are this tiny for such a short time. I strongly recommend washing your stitches/wound with pure lavender oil drops in water. Dab on very gently with cotton wool. It is good for wounds and very soothing. I did this after my CS and it really helped with the healing and preventing infections.

    congratulations again to you all

    Congratulations on the birth of baby Thomas, hope you are recovering from the section, I had both mine by emergency section so I know it's a bit of a shock but you have to go with what the experts suggest.

    Many congratulations Mrs S. Well done you and well done Thomas for being a good boy. By that I mean I suppose it was getting abit hairy at one point and he came out all healthy and everything and of course you came through relatively unscathed as unscathed can be for a birth. Marvellous news. BZ. Lenny
