Congrats mmmn.chicken
must be awful to have to go home without your little boy! Hopefully he will be home with you soon & you can enjoy settling into family life at home together
Java I know you don't want to be without Zoe for a second but make sure you get plenty of rest! You have been through a lot & need to let your body recover
Congrats Saurelin A delicate little girl for her pretty name We are still deciding if our Zoe will also carry Alice as a middle name along with Lily or to keep it for if we have another girl in the future - Lily was my partners gran, Alice was my grans name. 0 -

Congrats to all the new babies, mmm chicken, java and saurelin!!!
Hope those headaches jave cleared up and you get to go home today Kash!
I don't know what the food situation is in Cork... I better check it out, I need my food like! And finishing eating at 4.30 is not good. Although it might be good practice for afterwards when I'll be on major slimming down regime! I have a sex and the city themed hen party in 6 weeks. Never watched the show but I know none of them were fat and wobbly.
Anything stirring yet Fri.day?? I hate people asking me that question but I feel it's ok for me to ask!
I wonder did your walk and curry work?
I'm finding it hard to go for long walks , definately feeling the pressure alot more and I can feel the arse acorns starting to get a little sore, so I'm trying to rest so they don't come back...oh the pain!
I go to bed each night thinking...this is the night, and baby is pushing down do much I can hardly walk so I'm thinking my waters will surely give way...
But I wake each morning... Baby still firmly intact.

I tried to update music onto my iPhone during the week and lost most of my music. I now have 39 songs. Boo!0 -
Congrats to all the new mammies, fast getting throught the list now!!
Just a quick thing.... I hated using the cotton buds and water to clean baby's bum and the nurse said you can get water wipes (99% water) in boots. I went and bought them for €3.75 and they are grand. Went shopping in Dunnes this morning and they are in there for 2 euros!! So if anyone is using them, go to Dunnes or if they're cheaper somewhere else let me know

RobinC they are good but you have to watch for them on offer...€2 is very good for them - not standard price even in Dunnes so if you plan on using them go grab a few packs to keep you going We have them & swap between them & the flat cotton wool sheets...couldn't be doing with actual cotton wool although it's more cost effective than the sheets! 0

Mink my lactation consultant told me to carry on with my maternity bras to start with, it's a good quality non underwired ones from debenhams & that you only really need a nursing bra after a couple of weeks if you intend to nurse in public etc. As I'm pumping I won't now have any need for one. One midwife said shaws (do you have them in Dublin?) do a good one that's based on s,m,l etc rather than sizes but she recommended (tried & tested) the Elle McPherson nursing bras - she said they are €50 but totally worth it - I think they are a BT exclusive but I'm sure you would get them online possibly cheaper! 0

WWC1 are you going for a section Wed if you don't go into labour yourself or is a scheduled section? Would they not induce you first?
Just over my first week on maternity leave, I could get used to this! I've managed to become really lazy, going to bed at 1 and not getting up til about 11 :eek: But I don't care, I'm going to get as much sleep as I can before baby gets here & I'm not going to feel bad about it!
Finally got out of the house yesterday, we went driving around the Dublin/Wicklow mountains, Glendalough etc. Just spent the day together, not doing jobs to get the house ready or house work, was definitely needed.
Mink - They can't induce me as such as my little girl was a section delivery two years ago. I've had two unsuccessful sweeps so far, one last Thursday and one on Saturday morning. If they had been able to sweep me then they would try to break my waters first on Wednesday morning and start me on the drip. No sweep + no access to break waters. Seeing as I'll be 41+5 on Wednesday they're not going to wait any longer
Def take as much rest as you can now and enjoy it. You dont have to justify it here of all places:):) Day out together sounds lovely 0 -

Can you not be induced after a section? Feck that, Crusty Joe can be an only child so. Sections and I have fallen out never to be friends again. Fact.0 -
Hi guys, just be careful with Elle McPherson sizes as i find their non maternity bras on the small side.They do seem to be really nice bras though!TwoMums2Be wrote: »Mink my lactation consultant told me to carry on with my maternity bras to start with, it's a good quality non underwired ones from debenhams & that you only really need a nursing bra after a couple of weeks if you intend to nurse in public etc. As I'm pumping I won't now have any need for one.

You can and you can't. They don't induce with the the gel as they can't control how much goes in to you. If the membrane sweeps had worked and they were able to break my waters then I could have being induced with the drip. Lots & lots of women go into natural labour on second pregnancys after sections. My cervix for some reason has decided to not to play fair:(
Not the best mates with sections either and officially booked in for one on Wednesday. Just back from the hospital (refused a third membrane sweep). Met with the anesthetist and got bloods and consent done. Have to be in hospital Wed morning at 7.15...hopefully baby with me by lunch time:):) AGH.....starting to freak out...
Have to fast too from midnight (I LOVE MY FOOD) so a big fat durty chinese for me tomorrow evening :pac:
Ugh, poor you That's now my worst fear. If i ever have to do it again, I'm asking for the general anesthetic for the week. The whole week. My delicate psyche isn't cut out for that craic at all tall. <\pathetic> Best of luck with it lady. 0 -
