Wrong place, wrong time. I suspect it was being thrown at a dickhead stood behind me, but it's hard to throw straight when you're a cross-eyed, pissed inbred.

Crocs man, fucking hell. I once had a pint glass (full) thrown at my head in there.

This. I dread to think what the regulations on my profession would be under a purely Tory government. At least under a European directive my hours and conditions are regulated. For all Cameron wants us to remain in Europe, if we were to leave he'd have me working like an orphan in a workhouse.

Shithead

Nope, the bus driver - Ray.

I grew up living next door to Chris Waddle's brother.

It's really debilitating so it's good to hear she's feeling better. If it comes on again give post-natal a call

Just realised you probably won't be on here too much with everything going on. If the midwife isn't due to come in the morning I'd give the labour ward or post-natal ward a ring first thing in the morning and explain the situation. They should be able to take it from there and get her sorted. If she had the baba at the QE, let me know and I'll see if I can do anything from this end.

Headaches are common after a spinal but it sounds as if she may have a post-dural puncture. It happens when you get a small leak of CSF through the hole that was made by the spinal needle. It's not "common" (approx 1 in 500 will get it) but it does sound classic from what you describe. She can take paracetamol and brufen and lie down as much as possible which I realise this is ridiculously impractical with a newborn. The immediate treatment is a blood patch where a small amount of her blood is taken by an anaesthetist and then injected into her back to seal the leak. It sounds scary but we do them with great success when we get patients with this. When is she next due to to see the midwife? And which hospital were you at?

If by gold you mean a shiny mustard colour then no, you're not colour blind

Hate the yellow trim but like the wider stripes. I've heard today that they're not going to put the Wonga sponsor on kids shirts, which I like.

This happened to us. 48hrs after mine was born, and the first night we were back at home he was absolutely inconsolable and I felt like I was going mad. Kept trying to feed but he'd try and then wasn't interested, and continued howling. In the end my other half insisted he was going to make him a bottle with formula despite my protestations. The bairn absolutely wolfed it down, did a massive burp, had a big contented sigh and fell asleep for 5hrs. Turns out my boobs are just for show and useless for their actual purpose.

Bit late in the day but I did message you earlier! Hope you've had a lush, lazy day

Really happy for you SEW, she's precious. Congratulations to you and your wife.

Have we got a new pet?! Yay!

I reckon he could see the whole gif all along and is just trying to cover up the fact he didn't get it

And 3 of the girls I work with are pregnant at the moment and wanted to find out asap. They already have the child named and refer to them as if they're already born. "Oh Olivia was kicking me all night.." To each their own. Personally I didn't find out but was convinced it was a girl. Without going into details, much hilarity ensued when he finally arrived and it's one of my most amazing and joyful moments. I can understand why people want to know and also why they don't - just personal choice and doesn't have anything to do with parental gender in my opinion.

Really? Maybe it's just a discussion that a couple has and they decide that they want to know or they don't

Yep, I've seen a few sights like that..

Congratulations! As if you need more stress in your life with a new baby

I've got a cupboardful at work for anyone who wants to do a deal* *if my boss or anyone from the NMC is reading, this is obviously a lie.

Definitely something going on. Sonic booms heard over South Yorkshire as the jets were scrambled. Plane landed safely..
