more than two years since I last did it - give birth that is - (and not pregnant) and I'm still fascinated, feel as passionately about it, and visit this part of mumsnet talk. I was wondering who was the least recent birther (? does that make sense) to come visit

Aero · 08/07/2004 03:43

Not me, but I'm still reeling from my homebirth 5 months ago and would do it all again tomorrow if it weren't for the sleepless nights!

Ghosty · 08/07/2004 06:07

5 months today ...
Everyone sing 'Happy Birthday' to my DD please!!!
I think someone posted 2 hours after giving birth once, on the birth announcement thread ...

motherinferior · 08/07/2004 21:50

If that was me, Ghosty, it was a whole five hours later!

Oh yes, deep fascination, but also do you think that's because you're contemplating doing it again? (I'm not of course. Oh no. Definitely not. Wouldn't dream of it. Of course not

Same as Beetroot, 5 years. And..... I never, ever want to go through it again. The whole experience still sends a shiver down my spine. they same with time you forget, well sorry - I haven't.

Tommy · 08/07/2004 23:15

10 months...and rather bizarrely and frighteningly, I keep thinking that it may be quite good to do it again

2 years, 6 months and 16 days and I'm broody again

Slinky · 08/07/2004 23:31

well, mine is 4 years, 8 months and 10 days and I'm never doing it again either!

It's not the birth part that puts me off - it's just that after 3 kids, I've realised I'm not really a baby/toddler person

nikcola · 08/07/2004 23:33

2 and a half years and never again x

tammybear · 08/07/2004 23:36

1 year 6 months and 19 days ago. I cant be bothered to work out the hours lol. Seems like donkey years ago though

musica · 08/07/2004 23:45

11 months. And I think it may have been me posting 2 hours after the birth - just checked and it was 2 hours 10 minutes! But I felt really guilty till I did, cos I'd been whinging on here for so long about dd not coming!!! (She was 14 days late!!!).

wellsie · 09/07/2004 00:14

6mths, 2days & 45mins ago. Would do it all again - most amazing experience of my life.
Yes it hurt, yes I had every instrument used on me, no I couldn't move cos' I was hooked up to those bloody monitors, no i didn't have the water birth I had planned, but who cares?!
Its that moment when baby arrives that you realise this is truly magic.

Just wish I'd known how bloody painful and worrying stitches could be! That first No.2 - how frightened were you??

meanmum · 09/07/2004 00:19

dd was 20 weeks on Friday (5 months) and I'm already trying for the next. After ds was born 2 years 5 months ago I started trying straightaway then too. After 3 that's it for us though. I didn't know I would love it so much and even though ds was with every drug available and dd wasn't they were both fantastic births. DD was so quick I honestly didn't have time to feel much pain.

NomDePlume · 09/07/2004 00:29

22 months

gingernut · 09/07/2004 00:41

Linnet · 09/07/2004 01:16

8 years, 346 days, 7 hours and 10 minutes and I would do it all again and again(as want more children)

alexsmum · 09/07/2004 01:34

10 months and it makes me want to cry to think i'm never going to do it again.Yes it hurts but it is the most amazing exciting emotion filled thing that I have ever done in my life.That rush when you see your baby for the first time.I magine that's what drugs feel like??
BUT common sense says two is enough..but if we were millionaires I'd just keep going!!!!

poppyseed · 09/07/2004 01:47
