Mrs B, welcome! I know what you mean about weight gain. I'm normally such a gym bunny and very conscious about what I eat... In the first 3 months I was so ill I actually lost weight! Since about week 18 my appetite has come back with a vengence! I do worry about what I'm going to put on, but I know I have determination and motivation to get back on it after the baby is born. X

thanks mummyoftwo. i know there is cream as well. are tablets better then?

mrsb, we haventeven started doing stuff to the nursery yet. my brother in law is in there so when he goes, its when we start but hes showing no sign of going!

MummyOfTwo

i used the tablets with my first, and healed really quick (didnt have stitches or anything, just bruised). didnt bother second time, had tea tree baths instead which worked just as well.

Rups32

ah i see. so you dont need them immediately after birth as they are in the list for a hosp bag? thanks hon.

MummyOfTwo

not really top of the list. ill have a think for good hosp stuff - definitely decent drinks and snacks!

Rups32

oh yes snacks i need def otherwise i will pass out. but didnt someone say be careful what you eat because you will poo loads. lol sorry tmi

MummyOfTwo

Hi all,
Hope most of you are ok. All the food chatter has made me hungry and not long had dinner!
Emsaint huge congrats on the birth of your little boy! I love the name Noah. Hope you're both well, look forward to hesring more when you've time.
Mrs B welcome and congrats. I'm a lurker really as bubs is now here
Arnica someone from the newborn thread said to take them soon after birth. They are meant to help healing. I got mine from boots and were bout a fiver. They're with all the homeopathic medicines etc. Although they never made it to the hospital with the drama. I found a big bag of stuff I bought that got moved and OH couldn't locate it!
MMM I really feel for you hun. It seems strange after all our jokes about us and Emsbet having a race at the end I'm not here with you. Have been liking looking for news from you. Hopefully won't be too long for you now. Just wanted to say I've been thinking of you.
Sending big labour vibes to you Emsbet, twinklie and mummyoftwo and others who need them. Also Milliebob good luck for your section tomorrow
Hugs to anyone no needs them too xx

Thanks for remembering me LMM

Well ladies, this is it, I'm on my way to hospital to have my baby! Will post an update as soon as I can- not sure what 3G is like there.

Hopefully there'll be some more happy baby news soon from me and others!
