You know they will tail off for a few more days just to irritate you even more Flamey!

How exciting - best of luck Flamey. You have a nap and rest up while you can. Alternatively, do it my way: stay up all night washing your hair and painting your toenails, confident that your baby will be born by teatime [echoes of laughter that still sounds hoarse and bitter, even after four years].

What do your waters look like and how did you know when they went?? Did they pop?

Hmmm and whilst I think about it, I might need a large G&T to see me though to the end of this birth thread wanders off to get the popcorn out!

I would imagine House would scare the baby out. Are you sure you can afford the counselling that will be required in 18 years?

Pol: with two teens and another hot on their heels it's lucky if I get on of an evening. Fortunately stinky boy is in the bath, one is watching Emma (me too kind of), one is on her way to bed and the DTs had such a great day today they're completely asleep. But you're right... couldn't resist a birth thread. Just wondering where lulu is.
