Julia W Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Just wanted to add my support too. What about offering him some eggs from time to time, that might 'cure' his allergy when he realises how wonderful they taste, mind you, he's probably got an egg allergy too......... I would do nothing and make it quite clear that your girls are staying no matter what and if he doesn't like it then he will just have to put up with it. Poeple like this make me really mad. As he's off work 'sick' then he's got nothing better to do than find things to complain about. I think it would be better to approach his wife, she might not even know he's complained to you and if she finds out he might get a rollocking from her and that will be the end of the matter. Worth a try. Otherwise, I would just do nothing, ignore his complaints and just enjoy your girls. But it's not nice living in an atmosphere is it. All power to you and I hope this all gets resolved really quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

migsy Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Very interesting! I agree that giving birth can be very traumatic and have lasting effects. Now we know what you look like! Funny, because I don't really have mental images of people on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I do feel for you I was traumatised for months after my first child forceps and 3rd degree tear - got PND too. I wish this article had been around then. I honsetly think they thought i was a lunatic. I had the classic symptons too - depressed in pregnancy due to my mom dying etc. Hope talking about it helped. Ollie is a cutie - no mention of chucks - thought they might get a line - not relevant I know but as a moving on thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I have always wondered with these articles - do you send in your artticle or do they seek you out? Wondered how they do the research. Patients are always bringing in bits of the Daily Mail and tormenting the GP's with it - why cant they have this drug or that treatment etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mum-2-olly Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 they get a lot of their contacts from organizations or from the person contacting them, themselves. THEY DO NOT PAY YOU THO! i personally did it to raise awareness, and thought if i could just help 1 confused unsettled new mum then i would get over my fear of what happened to me and tell my story. a nice kicker was that i got all the pics from the photo shoot of me and my son i am a member of an organization called the birth trauma association, and because what i had is fairly rare they asked if they could forward my details to the daily mail. the mail were very good tho, they passed me the story before it went to print to check for factual error and to make sure i was happy with it which was a nice touch. ahh the worst thing is i am a 1 in 5 risk of getting it next time we have a baby! enough to put me off...at least for a while!

migsy Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Good on you for doing that! I had a difficult time with my first child. I am too tired to go into all the details now but I was very traumatised and fearful about having another baby. During the birth I shared the midwife with another woman who was giving birth to twins and I was overdosed on Pethidine. My son had to be revived after birth by some junior doctors. I lost a lot of blood through a vaginal tear which the doctor could not find but thankfully a registrar came along and repaired me there and then (she told me that normally people would have to be taken into theatre for such a procedure). Then I had another postpartum haemorrhage at 9 days. This was caused by a uterine infection which, in my opinion, was due to my waters breaking and the hosptial sending me home without accelerating the labour or giving me antibiotics. I was consequently very ill in hospital on IV antibiotics and the midwives insisted I keep the baby with me to breast feed him. How ridiculous! Since when do ill people bring their children into hospital to look after them? I won't go on! 10 years later and I am still angry! I have had 2 babies since and I am happy to say that the subsequent births were absolutely fine, however, I was terrified before both births. Thankfully, the bad parts of my first experience were not repeated. Needless to say, I made sure I exited the hospital ASAP after giving birth to my last two!

Minty_76 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I also had a very difficult birth with my son. They discovered I had a condition called Group Strep B which they found out when I was induced and about to give birth! Needless to say, emergency c-section, lost a lot of blood, blood transfusion etc. I felt unattached to my son at the start but after a lot of guilty feelings about that, he is the best thing the world! Sorry to hear so many other ladies had a bad experience too. Would do it all again though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia W Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Gosh I do feel for all you ladies. I thought it was bad enough having a 52 hour labour with my first daughter but apart from a bit of baby blues on the third day I seemed to have sailed through it. Thank you mum2olly for highlighting this, it will probably help a lot of other people. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Thought I'd bump this thread because one of my neighbours brought a package over for me this evening and used it as an opportunity to ask me to move my chicken coop away from his fence as his wife has 'asthma and is allergic to feathers' and the feathers are blowing into their garden? Now this is anew development since we got the silkies - they shed fluffy feathers willy nilly whereas the and haven't shed a single one since we got them. I'm so bloomin' annoyed and I can't cause issues with them as this isn't my house to do with as I please, I rent from my dad who now lives in Singapore and I don't want to cause tensions, but I don't really have anywhere else for the coop to go and I know they're being deliberately precious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migsy Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Oh no! I think some people are really neurotic. Could you grow anything on the boundary that might filter the feathers and block their view? Just a thought. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Surely your dad would back you though? And could you not move them onto the grass? (I think I saw grass in a photo you've posted ) Have they been making a noise/smells? I can't think of a reason why someone will lie to make you move the chickens Hope you get it sorted soon Reading threads like this makes me really appreciate our neighbours, direct one started speaking to the chickens while we were on holiday, and she said she creeps around her garden in case she scares the chickens shes so nice haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could move them onto the grass but 1) I don't want to (it's my garden and her neurotic made up allergy, so I don't want to even pretend to humour her) and 2) that's one more way for a fox to get at them as I'm not in a position to spend more money on paving slabs (they're REALLY expensive, it transpires). They don't smell, I clean them out weekly, poo pick, keep the flies away... perhaps they make noise when I'm at work - but if they do it's A LOT quieter than the den of foxes and the dogs in the surrounding gardens. I'm so peeved Unfortunately they're nosy people, so they watch us out of their rear bedroom window all he time - when my OH was out frantically looking for my very sick kitty cat the other week, the guy just stared out of their back window at him in the garden the whole time. Weirdo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
