Oliver was the same sadly and cutting his nails now is a mission. He hates it. I'd wear mittens until Oliver stops scratching himself as much x

Just packed mine, toiletries, Vaseline, cotton wool, socks, iv put some nappy bags in to thought they would do for dirty washing too. Snacks/ drinks, toothbrush for you and birth partner, iv put a towel in for me, scratch mitts, baby hat, your notes , hair band, yours and baby going home outfits. Or you can pack extras and ask for them to be brought in when needed or left in car xx

Must be an Oliver thing!!
He really hates having the scratch mitts so I always feel mean making him wear them but I don't want him covered in scratches either.
Been using baby clippers but he clenches his fists and cries so it's one hell of a mission! X

Oh what a stress, was off for 2.5 hours. Everything here is electric, all my family/friends had power cut too, only my sister other side of town had power. No local shops had ready made, Charles rushed to big tesco in car and got stuck in major traffic :-0 luckily it came back on at 7 just in time - but as I put colief in her bottles that needs 30 mins before she drinks it and I only managed to hold her off 15 mins, hope she'll be ok x

Kerry's pregnancy diary
Hey ladies, well I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl Mia at 6.45 this morning weighing 6.12oz. 3 days over due.
everything ran pretty smooth with the labour right up until pushing. Mia had the cord wrapped round her neck so every time I pushed her heart rate would drop. They then went on to try the suction cap ( bloody killed) no joy with that. Then went on to theatre as they thought they would have to perform a c- section. They went on to try the forceps which thankfully worked. c- section could have been tricky for me with having scar edesians ect with previous op. Poor little thing has a head shaped like a cone at the mo but that will obv go down. Here is my princess ..

Pregnant with Baby No 2!
Hope your ok Nelly xx
Ladies I have a question...
For those of you who want baby no 2, or who have even gone on to have no 2...how do/did you feel about it?
This question is purely out of curiosity, but were there any "scary" feelings of guilt (probably the wrong word to use). The reason I ask is instantly after having Amelia, I missed being pregnant and wanted to almost conceive no 2 right there and then. It was overwhelming. (I dont think I had PND or anything, just occasionally felt sad I didnt have her in my tummy anymore).
Now Amelia is 17 wks old, that overwhelming feeling to be pregnant isnt here anymore, I've been thinking more "rationally" about no 2 and our plans to ttc next year...
I'm excited, but I also feel a little scared and anxious. I absolutely love love love my little girl, more than i thought I could ever love anyone...it sounds so stupid but...will I love no 2 just as much? Will I feel guilty I didnt leave it to just having Amelia on her own for a little longer? I look at her and I almost cant imagine having another child to love if that makes sense?! Thats not to say I only want 1 child, its just hard to imagine!
Did any of you who have had more than 1 baby have any worries before having 2, 3 and so on? X

Jess you hve hit on the head exactly how I feel about it...
I hate that she won't be on her own for very long having our complete attention.. But at the same time, she'll have a sibling to play with n grow up together with...
Unfortunately for me, age isn't really on my side so I can't put it off for too long... Closer I get to 35 the more my chances of conceiving again reduce...

I wanted another as soon as Cole was born, literally the next morning, and it's not gone away. It took Tom weeks to talk about having another baby as he felt as if we were saying that Cole wasn't enough. I've honestly never felt like that, I want another baby as much for him as for us. I'm so close to my sister that I want Cole to have a sibling. I'd feel more guilty if he was an only child (just my personal opinion, obviously one child is more than enough for some people) than if I had another baby. My sister is 38+4 with number two and Zac is so involved with everything, he talks to her tummy and tells everyone about his 'brother or smister'. Xx

Pregnant with Baby No 2!
Thats how I feel. The thing is though is I'm feeling guilty as it stands right now, so if I fell pregnant now, I'd be thrilled of course but I think I'd feel a little guilty that Amelia didnt have our complete attention for longer. That said, Amelia wouldnt know any different! That would just me my own personal guilt.
I know I definitely want 2 & 3 and maybe even no 4(!) not just for us, but for Amelia. I am 1 of 3 girls and absolutely love it - we are so close, but thinking that this time next year I could well be pregnant...I think "how could I possibly love another little person like I do Amelia?!?!" - I know I will, many people have multiple children and Ive never known anyone to say "I only love my first born!" its just hard to imagine, ya know?! I know it sounds silly lol xx

I'm feeling exactly the same, I think it's normal. I've asked a few friends and they said the same-one said she fell pregnant when her boy was a year old and she sobbed for a good few days as she felt she wouldn't love another as much etc (even though it was planned!) but she said obviously she did and does and it was lovely that her eldest was so involved excited and they played so well when they were old enough.
I couldn't imagine having another already (you know like falling pregnant just after) I would feel like she was missing out on my attention?. But I guess whenever it happens I might feel like I'm missing time with her.
So you're not alone! Xx
