    Emsbet, congratulations on possible team blue!

    And now my announcement. Will try to post the long story separately in case it disappears again.

    So, Emilio and Maya were born today (32+6) at 9.35 and 9.55am. I had epidural in case things went pear shaped anxious both of them needed help with forceps. Emilio wad born 1980g and 45cm long and Maya slightly lighter as is suited fir the girl at 1860g, but taller at 47cm. They are doing well and breathing with just a bit of help using pressurized air, CPAP. No cuddles as yet, but if all goes well, maybe tomorrow we will be allowed to hold them.

    I am ok, just had the 'wonderful' hospital meal and OH was asked to get me pate from Booths. I had episiotomy/2nd degree test, apparently, so have a few stitches.
  • Congratulations Gin so happy for you. Glad they're both here safely and doing well. Not sure what the weights are in "old money" but they sound big for so early. Hope you're not too sore down below, sounds very painful. Fingers crossed for cuddles tomorrow.

    BB glad they know what it is. Hope it settles down soon. Good news there's no diabetes tho.

    Right better get the dinner on, have a good evening all xx

    BB - they told me all along that Tristan was huge and scared me half to death. I thought I was going to be giving birth to a beach ball out of my foof but he actually only weighed 8lb7oz. The scans are only accurate to within a certain degree. I managed with just gas and air and it was fine. I'm sure these scans sometimes do more harm than good when you are already nervous.
    Glad you are ok and make sure you rock the pirate look. Take it easy and I'm sure you will be feeling better soon.

    Congratulations Gin!

    BB, I'm glad you are okay. Hopefully your eye/face will go back to normal soon. And it won't affect baby which is the main thing.

    Congratulations gin-another one who is a fan of the names too.

    Glad ur ok BB -try not to worry too much about the size-the midwife guessed my friend's baby would be 8lb 13 and she actually weighed 7lb 6!

    Still got a massive headache and am feeling queasy - I think it may be stress induced though as I'm worried about loads of stuff at the mo including that they may find an anomaly at the scan on Thursday. Also stressed about visiting my Nana in the home on Sunday as it didn't go well last time I was there.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
