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!!

      Fireworks

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?

      Recommendation for a decorator in Dulwich/Peckham/Nunhead - Kam 07949 507412

      By Charlie15 · Posted

      Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By TittyMaster · Posted

      What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
