Jules. Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Wonder why she has a line in her, & what HAVE they done to her tummy button? Ethan had his nicely tied with cotton strips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy&cake Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 That can not be healthy for the child!!! If she doesnt have much money for food, what is she feeding her other children on? I bet they have a poor diet. She shouldnt be having children if she cant provide a good diet for them. Sorry to be the negitive perrson here!

fairy&cake Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Wonder why she has a line in her, & what HAVE they done to her tummy button? Ethan had his nicely tied with cotton strips exactly my thinking too! Whats the line for? Saying that seth had 7 lines in him as he was so swolen and could breathe. Prehaps she has suffered from the C/S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they have a poor diet. She shouldnt be having children if she cant provide a good diet for them. Sorry to be the negitive perrson here! I don't think you are being negative, but a little bit naive maybe? Russian women's healthcare is appalling. They have almost no access to contraception (many will not have it anyway due to religious reasons) and their diets are terrible, not down to money, but due to their circumstances. My H went to work in Russia briefly and the degradation and poverty appalled him. I don't think many people in Russia have a choice. I am sure if she could stop having babies she would. I am sure if she could eat better she would. I am also sure that if she could have more money, she would too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Definitely one for a Caesar! It also said her previous 11 children were all over 11lbs! Poor lady! It mentioned heavy babies being born to healthy women, so looks like they've ruled out the diabetes factor. I second Egluntines advice - watch what you eat Chookie!

The Dogmother Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 The blue stuff is anti-bacterial Laura, like iodine or the purple spray we use on chooks - they don't clamp the umbilicus there like we do here. Just different procedures I guess. I read the article at lunchtime and it made my eyes water - poor woman. I've travelled to a lot of underdeveloped countries in my time (and lived for a time in some of them), and the hardships they bear are unbelievable to us, but normal to them - they find our cultures and beliefs weird.

Guest Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 OK, so I've already had an 8lb 3oz, an 8lb 9oz, and a 9lb 8 oz'er. It'll take some going to beat 17lb 1oz Just for you Annie, I'll give it a go...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 It's not just the size of the baby its the other 11 children eek! I have enought trouble with 3 makes you thankful to be living in Britain. I had two at 5lb 11.5oz and one 7lb 12oz ( with a big head) all with no pain relief so small and healthy is fine by me!

Popcorn Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Come on Shona.....hand over those chocolates you've got hidden under the bed.... What a big baby! I bet Mum has got very sore feet from carrying all the extra weight around. Still - as long as the baby is healthy, and the Mother has made a good recovery.......Annie, you made some excellent points there too. I personally don't see anything bad in eating basic foods like potatoes, tomatoes and noodles. It's a lot better than the millions of ready meals and jars of baby food that us lot get through every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 btw I'm pretty sure the tube she has is called a longline and is an easy way to give nutrition etc. She may also have has an umbilical catheter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanppk Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 When I was a kid, my Dad used to make me laugh by doing an impression of a chicken laying a square egg. Thank God he never tried an impression of that scenario - I'd have had nightmares! (Sorry for lowering the tone. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Good old C-section so you have to give up alcohol AND chocolate when pregnant to have a smaller child? Someone I know has a baby (named after Katy the chicken ) who had a HUGE head, I couldn't get over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I wonder if the others were a natural birth? Having so many children must mess your body up a little Shame we do not have an eye-watering icon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Well after seeing that - I think I'll pass on having any children! Not only is the baby big, but it's erm well ugly too! I don't really do babies - toddlers yes, because then they are little people with big attitude, but babies......ugh! I watched a program called body shock a while back where the mother had this really big child, but it turned out that she gave him steroids to make him big as she wanted him to be a sumo wrestler! They are Olympics mad etc! Why don't they put the welfare of there children before fame & wealth? Horrible! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy&cake Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I don't really do babies - toddlers yes, because then they are little people with big attitude, but babies......ugh! awwww! ok then, you have the baby, ill look after it until its two.
