See I never felt like this cos my experience of a water birth was so relaxing aside from the pain lol.
It did take me weeks to have a bath tho simply cos I had stitches and couldn't really sit down properly... Plus I never had the time lol x

I take my hat off to you using the pool i wanted to but was out the question i needed an epi! I have said if there is a number 2 im demanding an epidural be sited before labour even starts ha ha!!

I didn't want an epidural unless I really really needed it, I have a phobia of needles you see...
And I really wanted to stay in the pool too....
I've already said I'm def having a water birth if there's a number 2

I'm full of cold... And now so is my little man
Now that's he old enough to have everything going pain relief wise (he's almost 4 months) what do you ladies recommend?
I have Calpol and Nurofen here, he's got a slight cough and a really runny nose and sounds all bunged up (just like his mummy) xx

Snufflebaby on a cloth next to his cot, where he can't reach it. You can get vapour plug ins from boots that are good. Horrible as it sounds you can get snot suckers (makes me gag thinking about it!) to clear their noses or the saline squirter that you just shoot up their nose to clear it. I stuck with calpol for Cole if he needed it as it can be given more often than Nurofen if needs be. Take him into the bathroom while it's steamy too. And lots of mummy cuddles

Did anyone drink rasberry leaf tea? If so did you get any side effects? It's either coinsedense or I feel really sick as though I'm going to be but nothing and as though I'm going to have diarea but I dont, happened yesterday and day before, happened today but I did have diarea this time, must be the tea although I'm hoping it's early labour lol x

Could be early labour... I was like that for a few days before he arrived... And I never drunk raspberry leaf tea x

Yeh we prefer Calpol for that very same reason! Sent hubby out with a list of stuff for both me and Oliver...
He's getting lots of mummy cuddles today as I need them too.
And there's nothing better than your little man's arms round your neck whilst he snuggles in <3

Oh no get better soon Kirsty and Oliver. I agree with Sarah. Could also put baby olbas into steaming water in the room. Help clear both of you. Get well soon xx

I've all on to get Cole to snuggle these days. I get a kiss if I'm lucky. The only time he puts his arms round me is when I'm carrying him. Independant little man.
Hope you both feel better soon x

I hope Oliver doesn't stop wanting cuddles any time soon.
Thanks xx

I want to start doing some messy play and craft stuff with Cole. Anyone got any suggestions suitable for an 8 month old please? We don't go to baby group so I don't really know what kind of things to do with him. Obvious we play with his toys, and he's too young for a lot of crafty things, but looking for a bit of inspiration.

Paint hand or feet and make hand or foot prints
Re messy play, jelly, custard, rice pudding, porridge. Put into baby bath or a bowl and then let him play with it. Different textures etc and doesn't matter if he puts it in his mouth.
Will try think about other crafts we have done at baby group x

Thanks everyone, will give these a try. I'm just conscious that I'm going back to work in 3.5 months so want to actually do things with him as well as him entertaining himself with his toys xx
