MSG is also added to all sausages sold at Spinneys. But you have to turn the packaged around and read the small print. Don't eat it, especially when you are pregnant or planning to!

Hello Ladies! its the first time i check the forum since I got home from the hospital. Thanks for all the congrats on our little man :-) @ lindy yes i was and am still knackered lol! Here is what happened... I woke up to pray early morning and as i got out of bed, my waters broke like a fountain...i mean the water was everywhere...so i thought, OMG i better go to the hospital straight away. Called them and drove over there, but after the doc saw me she sent me away again until afternoon as my contractions were not strong enough. So i checked in the hospital in the afternoon and was in labour (although not heavy labout) for a total of 50 hours before the cervix started dilating. then it went very fast...in the next 4 1/2 hours i fully dilated and gave birth on 25 April morning. I did a natural birth without epidural and without any pain relief. I decided to do that long ago but i must admit, i did think I will go crazy from the pain after I dilated 4 cm. But anyway, it was too late then to do anything so i just went through it and now I am happy I did. @pinkbutterfly I was in the same situation as you mentioned already....I didn't know these things are even possible! I thought once the water breaks you go and push and voila there's your baby! But Hollywood movies all have us fooled! So - our boys were born on the same day!!! April 25! My milk still didn't really come in - i have only very little although i can feel my breasts getting heavy. I bought a Medela electric pump (though didn't have time yet to take it out of the box) and want to use that to stimulate the milk flow... My little boy is adorable and I'm totally in love

i have a question about newborn baby care...not sure if it was asked before in this thread - we are considering to hire some help for the newborn baby (live out) and maybe just few hours a day for the first month or so. Does anybody have any recommendations for these kind of helpers? I checked out a few agencies and they seem quite expensive, charging around 60 Dhs per hour. Any ideas anybody?
