I mind when I was about 12 a woman my mum knew had a bairn with this problem and they had to put the poor bairn in some weird big belt type thing until they got a date for the operation. She'll be put in cast after op for 6 weeks bud, we knew this was coming, seemingly par for the course with kids with cerebral palsy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 She'll be put in cast after op for 6 weeks bud, we knew this was coming, seemingly par for the course with kids with cerebral palsy I wondered if they still did that or if some new method of fixing it had been discovered in the last 20 odd years. That woman my mum knew's bairn got put in a cast after his hip op. It was just some displacement condition caused by growing though, it wasn't down to cerebral palsy or anything like that. I mind the wee nipper giving no fucks about it though, romping about shouting "Look I've got hard pants!!!"[emoji1] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 My wife is back to work so we've arranged our shifts around each other, meaning I'm going to a few of the baby groups my wife signed up to when she was on maternity leave. It's great, but I've quickly discovered that I hate most other parents. I mean kids are fantastic, and watching Bea interacting with other babies is great, but the parents are awful. There's one group on a Wednesday which is great, parents seem like normal human beings, but the other two just seem to have people who exist in a weird world so removed from reality it's slightly frightening. I guess that's what happens when our local baby groups all seem to be in Morningside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I go to a great group on a Tuesday, for parents with babies under 1 and we set up and organise it amongst ourselves. Some of the other groups aren't that great and too cliquey for my liking. I also hate the competition amongst mums. Boasting over how much your baby weighs who gives a f**k! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the other groups aren't that great and too cliquey for my liking. I also hate the competition amongst mums. Boasting over how much your baby weighs who gives a f**k! That's what the Morningside one is like. Boasting over nothing, 'my daughter already has 4 teeth' well done on your wonderful achievement. One of them announced that she doesn't think 'it's best' for the mother to go back to work before they are three. Felt like saying it's alright for you to say but some of us have to go to work so we can actually buy our bairn food and pay the rent. I don't think it helps that my wife and I are both 27 but most folk at these groups seem to be in their mid-thirties and up. Nothing against older parents or anything but I always feel like we've got nothing in common with them. Probably also difficult being the only man at half of these things and my wife isn't the sort of person to give the time of day to people she doesn't like so she's not even pretended to make an effort with the snobbier ones (who all seemed to already know each other). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The boasting over teeth it's not like they'll never get them. Catherine has none at 9 months and the looks we get when you tell people! Fair play to you for going to them. I'd definitely be avoiding them if I was a guy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I couldn't stand them either. Ruairidh didn't get any teeth until he was one and Nuala didn't walk until she was 18months so we'd have lost the baby boasting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Nooka Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 My daughter got her teeth quite early but to be honest there wasn't much point, got a phone call from school when she was in Primary 1 to say she'd had quite a bad fall. I arrived at the school and she was holding one of her incisors in her hand the other was dangling about, lovely! She tripped over someones foot in class and fell into a bookcase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septentrional Wasp Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I miss mumsnet. My second is due tomorrow. First eight months of the pregnancy flew by. Last four weeks have felt like four years though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Wife had our first child on Wednesday. Zoe, almost two weeks overdue and 9 lb so a big unit. She was due in to get induced the same day but started having little contractions on Monday night. By early hours of Wednesday morning baby was obviously in the post.Both fine but the delivery was a bit traumatic. There wasn't much progress by about 1pm so decided an emergency section was the way forward. By the time they called me in to theatre in my scrubs, baby was coming out normally. She then turned around and had to be delivered by forceps. I half expected her to be flicking us all the middle finger when she was born.Both fine now, and coming home today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds pretty similar to my experience, we went in at 9.00ish to be induced but it ended up a very long day with some 'moments', daughter eventually decided to come out as late as she possibly could. Her birth certificate has 00.00 as her time of birth, does that make her a witch? [emoji3] Glad everything went alright, the fun's just beginning!
