Hiya..was it you that was asking about alcohol and breast feeding? If not then I'm imagining things .. but anyway - I just found the piece of paper on it from my bf-ing workshop. It says for 2-3 hours after drinking and as the amount of alcohol in your body reduces, so does the alcohol in the breast milk. It said no need to pump and dump the milk, and as far as I can tell from it, 1-2 units is ok anyway.

did want to ask u something actually, think we had a similar labour but cant remember so if im wrong sorry butdid u have stitches too? i had internal and external and only yesterday noticed the internal ones healing and a bit of stitch came away when i wiped (sorry sorry sorry tmi!). have urs healed? again sorry if wrong!
And yeah I think we did have similar labours. I tore and lost 2.6 litres of blood. It hink you win on the transfusions though - I had 2 units of blood 2 days after having Cole (dunno why they took so long). Hubby said last night that I nearly died - not sure if he was oexaggerating a bit but he said i was going paler and paler and all the docs were running around trying to stop me bleeding. I'm not sure I could put him through that again to have another baby!
Midwife did tell me that the stitches would come away - she said I might notice bits of them but I haven't seen anything.
Holly, Im worrying now!-how come you can still see yours? Are there different types of stitches where some last longer than others? Sorry, probably being a bit thick here!
I asked if they dissolved about 2 weeks after I had them (you think they'd tell you) and was told they'd probably be well on their way gone by then
my stitches were a running stitch rather than the kind u count which i think is different to some
