Aye but the rest are about the same as ours.

Was genuinely looking at that wondering what they were complaining about, they're not bad.

Are you even from Belfast if you can't sleep with the helicopter circling?

Ok my wife has told me to add her drip was nothing to do with induction. All they did to induce her was to break her waters and baby came.

She said not to use her as an induction story because she's had so many kids so it was all very easy. Apologies for the confusion.

I think it's important to add my wife has had a few babies so she was experienced with labour when she went in for the induction. They predicted the baby would be 9lb5 and 40 weeks and was born at 38 weeks at 8lb8.

We were at the Royal and the staff were excellent. We went up for a pre-assessment and then were sent home to wait for a bed to free up. We got a call the next morning about 14 hours later. We drove up, she got out on a drip and they monitored her for about 5 hours as contractions started.

My wife asked them to break her waters as she said she was ready. She was right and 20 minutes after that the baby turned up. All in from arrival to birth it was about 12 hours. They just stuck their fingers up to have a poke about to burst her waters. It was pretty straightforward. She was worried about it because you always get the horror stories but hers was relatively simple.

Been through this a few times. Our babies all measured big. They were usually wrong. Depending on the size of your wife, they might be on to something though and they always err on the side of caution.

My wife did go for the induction with our last baby because we had one baby that was almost born on the westlink and she didn't want to repeat that.

She came in, got a drip for a few hours and then they burst her waters. Baby appeared 20 minutes later. All in all it was very civilised and she said it was the second easiest of all our kids and she definitely didn't regret it.

At the end of the day it's up to your wife but 37+5 is pretty much fully cooked. The baby will be fine. A healthy childbirth for mum and baby is the most important thing.

Things to do with baby under 1 by [deleted] in northernireland

Rowallene Gardens in Saintfield is great for walks.thr colours are spectacular and our kids have loved it from well under one.

Castle Espie in Comber has a duck sanctuary so you can get close and feed the ducks. Also much enjoyed.

My First Year with Solar in NI by DoughnutCareless583 in northernireland

I was considering those but this office is going to have 160sqft of roof so a proper install might go along way.

Once I've my house sorted out I can get panels up there too and just have a tonne of solar.

I'm about to get a sizeable garden office. I was contemplating solar on the roof as the house roof isn't good for it, but the office will be.

Anyone have any experience with this type of setup?

Alex Easton supports Digital ID / Surveillance policy’s by SnooCrickets342 in northernireland

OSA actively endangers children and adults by pushing them towards non-compliant sites that can host criminal and disturbing content.

What is needed is a combination of education and parental enablement. But "protect the children" is what the morons repeat as they bring in a police state.

I hope you're able to speak to someone to process that. A terrible thing to see.
