Hi , and welcome to the coffee list... I joined NCT at exactly the same time period as you - was about 13 m/o, I'd done ante-natal classes and benefited from the wonderful support given by my local BFC, and finally got around to joining over a year later. Anyway, since joining I've been to branch meetings, volunteered to do the branch website and been roped into becoming joint newsletter editor ! So, watch out ! Your talents will be spotted and made use of within your branch wherever possible. :-) BTW, I was born in Hampstead, lived in Muswell Hill for most of my childhood, then moved to Crouch End until about three years ago. I hated leaving N. London. I just love it there and still want to move back. Lucky thing ! Whereabouts do you live ? Cheers, -- Clare Lusher. SAHM to Ruairí (24.10.99).

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Hi and welcome to the NCT and this list >I had planned a homebirth with Tabby but after a prolonged posterior >labour I transferred to hospital for an epidural and some rest. >However after pushing for a couple of hours she had not turned or >descended at all and I had an caesarean I am still disappointed by >this a year later. Me too - although my home birth was cancelled at about 35 weeks Then I was induced which meant MONITORING!!! My DS was also posterior (Sunny Side Up) and having pushed for 3 hours I ended up with a section aswell. I couldn't get him to bf either so gave up trying at 5 weeks after expressing most of the time I have had PND into the bargin which I am only shaking free of now 2 years later. So I understand how you feel disappointed about the birth, but I stand in awe of the way you combined bf and paid work - well done. I keep telling myself to look forward not back. I have a lovely son and maybe one day I'll be able to try again. Hope you enjoy this list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
