Eeeek

I'm hoping it will be quick recovery for me DH only got 2 weeks off so will need be back to normal as much as I can by then! xx
 
My hubby isn't entitled to any time off. If I have section I've got no help at all :(
I'm already devastated that he isn't going to have time off to bond with baby. I'm sure you'll recover fine, just rest for the two weeks make sure your recovery is nice and easy x
 
That's really bad oasis, he only using 1 week paternity and 1 of holidays cus we can't afford it otherwise! Wish he could be off longer but want a holiday later in year so need the holidays x
 
Hubby won't have even accrued any hols, I'm freaking out about how I can look after 2 kids during the day and get up all night with a newborn, if I have to have a section. As soon as I leave the hospital I'll be on my own. Let alone how I'm going to get home from the hospital, everyone else I know who drives will be at work x
 
Could he not take a few days and work over to make it up? Or do any work from home?
Jess still doesn't sleep through so were already used to getting up in the night! You could get your OH to do some night feeds for you though if your not bf, I'm planning on just staying in bed most of day at first and watching films, I'll leave most of house work til DH is home and then he can help me, just have to try and do as little as possible! Is there nobody to take the bigger one for a few days while you recover? xx

At my work you can't do anything from home, and there's no overtime allowed. What a mess. It's not fair to get oh to do night feeds if he's at work all next day, not to mention I'll have to wake him up every time I need to toilet as it is :(
I wouldn't trust anyone except my mum to have lo and she'll be in the middle of moving and I couldn't send him away for a few days my mum will prob be able to take both of them during the days for a bit at first so I can get some sleep during day but I'll just have trouble sitting up from lying down in bed.
All this is only a problem if I have a section otherwise there's no problems at all but with all my luck I'll end up with a section, which is why I'm stressed x
 
Funny my mum is moving this weekend too while she got LO it's Gunna be a mad weekend haha, it's really rubbish he can lt have time off, hope you don't need a section and if you do your mum can help as much as possible, try get them sleep at same time so you can too xx
 
Well lo doesn't sleep in the day, but he sleeps 10pm -8.30/10am the next morning so he's a good sleeper, if I can get baby asleep for even 4 or 5 hours straight during that time then I can catch a couple hours if my mum can get them the next day. Mil could have helped on I Friday when she's off which is the day my mum is very very busy but not if mil keeps driving me mad x
 
My LO rarely sleeps on day now but what I do is get in bed and put a film on for him. I can have a rest then and little doze it's not proper sleep but better than nothing, sure we can do that with LO in Moses basket too, might be an idea xx

Getting nervous now, not for actual section just for recovery after, I don't know what to expect really, trying to breast feed and never done it before, and I'm excited to finally see what he looks like! x
 
We both imagine him to look like me, darker blue eyes and dark hair, jess is the spit of his dad with ginger hair haha well I say ginger but he is truly strawberry blonde DH is darker x
 
Off my fundal height he's Gunna be about 9lbs 10 LOL. But I feel a lot smaller I really doubt he's Gunna be that big that's pretty much all the weight I've put on lol, I guess 8lbs 2oz DH reckons 7lb 6oz lol xx
