I'm sure a lot of you are not interested...but after several months of threads ranging from looking for a more positive birth experience to vbac and probably culminating with a query as to the effectiveness of castor oil as a means to kickstart labour - well I thought I should finish the story!!


Baby snowboarder mark 2.0 was born 8 days ago - exactly 5 days after my waters broke (hence the castor oil thread!!). Sadly we tried pretty much everything on the vbac front but after waters going on Thursday morning, niggles for the next couple of nights, full blown labour from early Sunday morning to eventually finding not progressing from 6cm and meconium in waters early Monday morning (all labour perfectly safe and controlled at home with pool etc - pretty lovely and only really happened because of amazing independent midwives who believed in me)...well we just had to say at least we tried, and transferred to Kings in the early hours and eventually had another c section. Which was fine, and calm, and I do at least feel like I went through labour! Then we began a whole other world of getting imprisoned in kings as they thought the baby had an infection..then jaundice...blah blah! Home now though - and have been super lucky so far with a fairly chilled out baby (hmm and jealous toddler - but that's another thread!!).


Anyway - I just thought it would be nice to finish the story - especially as I've had lots to think about via this forum along the way! Right - cue the OH MY GOD I have 2 children how on earth am I going to cope threads....thanks forum for all the advice and entertainment along the hard hard path of pregnancy and child rearing!!

      Roll on the time  , if ever, when we adopt the Australian system whereby the agreed price becomes binding. The whole process takes place much more swiftly and with less hassle than it does here. Scotland have a good system also.

      My view is that it's really, really poor behaviour. Unfortunately some people are rubbish.

      Just seen a very large bird slowly circling over the bottom end of the Rye/Nunhead area. I think it was a red kite but can't be sure at that height

      Thanks for the replies. I am expecting several personal and official letters that were posted last week and should have arrived by now, including a new bank card. I complained to my MP, Helen Hayes, a few years ago when most people in ED had the same problem.  She took up the issue and things seemed to improve.    I rang Peckham Sorting Office but the call went to the PO call centre - after a 20 minute wait I managed to speak to someone so  I'll see if anything arrives today.
