tooner 243 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 On 8/3/2019 at 13:24, The Fish said: Knackered. Son was born June 27th. Mrs Fish had 28hrs labour before ending up with a c-section because little man was in the wrong position and wasn't so little. Born at 01:57 am, weighing a hefty 10lbs (4.5kg). All fine and dandy, however the hospital boots people out at midnight, so we finally get down to the ward at about 4, and the midwife immediately tells me I have to leave. Normal birth that might not have been a problem, but Mrs Fish had been in hospital since 8am Monday, had been nil-by-mouth since tuesday night and hadn't slept properly in days. She could barely sit up, let alone pick up the chunky little bugger. Other parents from the Antenatal group said the partners were allowed to stay overnight in the other hospital we were considering. Anyway, he's mint, got the first couple of proper smiles last night. Congrats Fish and Mrs Fish, and Happy Birthday Mini-fish!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember, when the two of you are bouncing crockery off each other and craving just five fucking minutes of sweet, sweet sleep, it’s your own fault- you could’ve just spaffed on her tiddies. Welcome to fatherhood Worked out a pattern, so I have him from 20:00 to midnight, then fuck off to the spare room for 5-6 hours sleep before going to work. Feel bad for Mrs Fish last night because he slept peacefully for most of my shit, woke up angry about five past midnight, strained, had a massive shit and apparently have been fussy all morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you go to work while she has the baby all day on her own again? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10857 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Could be worse, there's a South African princess-typefrom the Antenatal group who insists she and her husband do everything together. She doesn't put their kid down either, so he's getting fuck all sleep, then going to work, going home for lunch etc. She's a fucking nightmare .

Mrs. Fist had an emergency caesarean for our first nipper, and it was brutal. It took her about 3 months to fully recover from it, all the while worrying her belly was going to burst open. Simple things like walking, getting up from a seat, and shit like that, you’ve got to be there and help her out. Not to mention when you eventually get back to conjugal nastiness, never, EVER, mention the scar. Ever.

Just getting a 10lb baby into the carseat (+ however much that weighs)and into the car is a killer when I'm not around. We'd just leave it the car, but we've a mate who did that overnight and someone stole the car, had a joyride, set it on fire and nicked all the baby stuff was nicked or ruined and not covered by the insurance. So of course that's put the fear in her hormone addled mind that it's guaranteed to happen to us. Had to laugh when, just hours after the little fella was born, wife exhausted and post major-abdominal surgery the midwife came round to talk about contraception... I reckon that screaming monster in the cot is mood killer enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10857 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Knackered. Both the little man and the Mrs have the Flu. He's been coughing and not himself for a few days, took him into the GP who said it was a viral infection, probably the flu and to keep an eye on how much he's feeding, if he's dehyrdated and for any marks on his body. Saturday he's properly listless, and there's a mark on his shoulder so we phone 111, they send an ambulance sharpish. Paramedics look him over, but by now he's fed and had another power nap. HE's brighter and the paramedic says that the mark is probably just a mark from the carseat or his cot or wherever. Then some over-zealous GP he phones insists we take Little Fish to Hospital. Paramedic apologises for being unprofessional then says that we should go to hospital if we're at all worried and it's definitely the absolute safest thing to do, but it's his personal opinion that the GP is passing the buck and has ignored the information and opinion he gave over the phone. We're at Hospital for 6 hours, all the while little laddy is getting more uncomfortable and fed up, and the wife is the same. One Doctor examined him then remarked "Oh, he's a bit grumpy isn't he?" "Aye", I said, "He's not slept properly in 4hrs, and people keep waking him up to poke and prod him" Mrs Fish wasn't happy with me. Then they have to take bloods, so I'm restraining my son as he thrashes and screams bloody murder because the nurse can't complete the task right and has to get a doctor to help. Get sent to paediatrics, then after 2hrs waiting they check the results, give him a once over and send us home because he's got the flu. Total waste of our time, and the hospital staff's, all because some out of hour GP didn't trust the paramedic. anyway, I'm fucking exhausted and needed some catharsis.

Literally every time I've taken the child to the out of hours GP they've told me 'I think it's X but you might want to go to A&E to be safe'. All about covering their arses and passing the problem on to someone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
