Hurrah and many congrats! Lovely to read the news.


I'm sure you don't care what he weighed but 4kgs is 8lb 13oz, the imperial equivalent.


As Fuschia says, a kilo is 2.2 lbs so 4kgs is 8.8lbs and 0.8 lbs * 16 oz is 13 oz.

(NB 0.8lb is not equal to 8 oz!)


Anyway, lovely news and so glad it seemed to be quick and easy, thank goodness.

To be exact he is 4.074 Kg according to the little blue card the gave us. Midwife told me I only sustained a 1st degree tear but I think she was being not totally truthfull as the midwife that visited me today had it down as a 2nd degree. But I have to say I feel it less than first time around.


Thank you so much for all the lovely messages makes me rather emotional reading the whole thread!


Now we really need to decide on a name - will refrain posting pics until we do

Congratulations on your bouncing baby boy! So pleased you managed to avoid an induction, I had one and never again!!

I hope your tear does not cause you too much discomfort, I had a third degree episiotomy tear, so I know the discomfort. I found salty baths excellent, despite half the midwives telling me to avoid salty baths and the other half encouraging me to take salty bath ( the consultant said salty baths are great to aid healing).


I hope someone is taking care of you so you can spend the first few weeks sleeping and adjusting to the new addition ruling the house!

    • It’s not great, but this only happens when a business is in trouble and is facing bankruptcy. The landlords are free to say no. The restructuring will often then have to be approved by a High Court judge, so it’s not a total gun-to-the head. It does upset landlords quite a bit though, because if the business does go under, they’ll likely not see any pay out. So they often feel under pressure to comply. 
    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.
