Hurrah and many congrats! Lovely to read the news.


I'm sure you don't care what he weighed but 4kgs is 8lb 13oz, the imperial equivalent.


As Fuschia says, a kilo is 2.2 lbs so 4kgs is 8.8lbs and 0.8 lbs * 16 oz is 13 oz.

(NB 0.8lb is not equal to 8 oz!)


Anyway, lovely news and so glad it seemed to be quick and easy, thank goodness.

To be exact he is 4.074 Kg according to the little blue card the gave us. Midwife told me I only sustained a 1st degree tear but I think she was being not totally truthfull as the midwife that visited me today had it down as a 2nd degree. But I have to say I feel it less than first time around.


Thank you so much for all the lovely messages makes me rather emotional reading the whole thread!


Now we really need to decide on a name - will refrain posting pics until we do

Congratulations on your bouncing baby boy! So pleased you managed to avoid an induction, I had one and never again!!

I hope your tear does not cause you too much discomfort, I had a third degree episiotomy tear, so I know the discomfort. I found salty baths excellent, despite half the midwives telling me to avoid salty baths and the other half encouraging me to take salty bath ( the consultant said salty baths are great to aid healing).


I hope someone is taking care of you so you can spend the first few weeks sleeping and adjusting to the new addition ruling the house!

    • The problem is Starmer can't shut up about his dad being a tool maker, they made Keir,  a right prize tool. Reeves continually blames the previous Govt, but correct me if I'm wrong but inflation was decreasing, unemployment was stagnant, with decreases and the occasional increase, things were beginning to stabalise overall.    Then we had the election 4 July when Starmer and co swept to power, three months on things are worse than they were before, yet Reeves continues to blame the former Govt. The national debt doubled overnight with public sectors all getting a wage increase and now the budget that penalises business with the increase in Employers national insurance. The result of which will be increased prices in the shops, increased inflation, increased numbers of redundancies, increased unemployment and increased pressures on the DWP to fund this    Future growth will go backwards and become negative, farmers will no longer farm in protest against the Govt, more people will become poorer and unable to pay their bills, things will spiral out of control and we'll have a repeat of the General Strike until this bunch of inept politicians resign and Kemi and co prevent the ship from hitting the iceberg and sinking.  
    • Indeed so.  Just noting there are other options and many children and indeed young adults may well be perplexed and/or irritated by a cheque. 
    • My experience of the CT is that when they screw up, their first instinct is to cover up. They are also shameless liars.
    • And that's your choice, but it's not everyone's choice.  Some people don't like or can't do what you do.
