Should probably add that my Little Lambs have done 2 children birth to potty and will be coming into service again in November. Definitely had my money's worth out of them...

Morning all!

I had a rubbish night, the cat doing "baby massage" every five minutes and being very snuggle.

This made me laugh - my cat is trying to do that a lot - I have to keep him off my bump!

It's not the most well-known of songs but a band called Athlete did a song called Wires about the lead singer's premature baby and how he felt visiting her in the special care baby unit. I only have to think about it to start welling up. In fact, I'm off again now

Do you know, I really like that song but I had never cottoned on to the lyrics and what it was about..

Wow, I'm 8th on the list.. scary!

Little lambs had 10 nappies, 2 wraps, 10 bamboo boosters, 10 washable fleecy liners, 2 rolls of flushable liners, and the bottle of tea tree for £50. They're still doing it now

They're also doing 10 nappies for £35. If you buy your wraps elsewhere you could get a brand new stash for pretty cheap, plus they re-sell really well. Apparently LL are one of the best night time nappies too x

Hi all, not had a chance to read back as after startng contracting at 8pm Sunday, by midnight they were less than 2mins apart. Got to the delivery suite at half midnight (so Monday by this point), they blew me off as a dramatic first timer, until they realised i really couldn't walk and I was actually contracting every 90 secs!

Got examined at 1am and was 4cm, walked to delivery (other end of corridor) and waters broke on the way! had gas and air and my contractions didn't actually stop at all - they weren't finishing tailing off befor the build up again. I managed two hours of this on gas and air, and got frightened because it was all happening so fast, and first babies are meant to take ages right

So at 3am I asked for more pain relief and after running through some options, went for a mobile epidural. This was brilliant for me, I could still feel the contractions, and on some of the hard ones I still used the gas and air. I decided to top up once, and had no painat all but could still feel all the contractions.

I was on a ctg because of my persistent weird high BP and protein/no protein/oh wait yes there is protein etc. Midwife wasn't happy with the ctg at 5 am (6cm dilated) but couldn't put her finger on why it seemed odd. Shortly, shift change came and during handover she expressed her concerns about it, new midwife agreed so they got a doctor in. They all were a bit hmmmmm about it and discussed lots of its and buts, meanwhile I'm still contracting constantly (but bearable because of the epidural).

They decided to check baby's oxygen levels to be on the safe side, and that's when it became all systems go. Oxygen was dropping so I got rushed in for an emergency section. At 9:28 on Monday 4th June, Reuben Michael made his appearance at bang on 8lbs.

We've had a rollercoaster ride and the last two days feel about a month long with all the following medical stuff that has happened. Reuben and i both have a bad infection, suspected from the placenta, the doc who rushed me in for the section came and spoke to me last night and said if they had waited even half an hour the outcome would have been "considerably" less favourable. Bit upsetting!! But we're both here, and he is gorgeous, we both have to stay in for a week for antibiotics because of the infection, but we were lucky and have our own room, and Daddy is allowed on the ward 11am to 9pm every day so we get lots of time together.

I'm very sore and tired so won't be back for a few days at least, hope everyone has been well, and I'd just like to finish with saying the mummy club is so the best xx

Wow turtlemoose huge congrats to you and OH and welcome Reuben so glad to hear he's arrived safely and you're both being well looked after.

Was just popping on quickly before going to bed to see how everyone is.
Big hugs Kitten sounds like a rotten day for you and OH. No wonder it bought back so many awful memorise for you.

RJH good luck for your exam tomorrow. Again will be thinking of you tomorrow.
