Don't get worked up about it, LV - life is too short.

Pesha · 29/03/2007 11:06

Or even, although gin would be good!!

Pesha · 29/03/2007 11:06

Katy - lol at mossie kicking her dogs Gin You're profile is still my favourite ever

it is a bit mean for people to moan/take the p*ss out of antenatal threads, they are there for supporting pg women when they need it and if that means a supportive group to moan at and give advice so be it!! graduate of due nov '06 thread!

Oh yes, sorry, but labour dust doesn't sound quite as cute.
I've just finished an assignment, been very stressed, didn't really sleep last night, but had to read your last sentence a few times before I realised you weren't going out to kick your dog

Mossie · 29/03/2007 10:30

Mtpw come and join us in March, there are only a few of us left we could do with the conversation it's getting quiet!!!

Liesel - bleedin' 'eck! Hope you were okay afterwards.

Katy... now isn't Baby Dust for getting pregnant? I need labour dust now, if there is such a thing!!

Off to walk the dogs in the hope of kick starting something...

i really don't know why a 'them and us' attitude is coming through.

i think i might go and plonk myself on the antenatal threads and have a natter.

Gran said she was very proud of me and (okay exaggerate with Jim Morrison) but I did hallucinate that Isla St Clair was giving me parenting lessons.

I had eclampsia, had emergency section and woke up a couple of days later spaced out my head. Not seeing my daughter for four days really got me though

What on earth did they say?
(can't believe I'm even asking that as though it's a reasonable question)
Babydust sprinkles to Mossie and anyone else overdue (I know how loved that babydust is!!)

Mossie · 29/03/2007 10:25

Does actually - think my way of childbirth is the best - get yourself knocked out and wake up two days later after having a conversation with a dead grannie and Jim Morrison

Oh I don't know really, I think it's a way they can induce you if the pessaries haven't worked. Oxytocin drip perhaps? Sounds really scary though.

What does a drip do - sorry I dont understand all the birth malarky.

Mossie · 29/03/2007 09:54

Lol Liesel ... I'm still here, still huge! Seeing mw this afternoon to get referred to hospital for sweep. As long as they don't try and talk me into pessaries, drips, goodness only knows what else!

expatinscotland · 29/03/2007 09:49

We need a 'no antenatal thread' option .

Take some castor oil, bran flakes, arnica, rumpy and whatever else and hopefully we wont be hearing from you today. Fingers crossed

night mossie, here's hoping for a night time delivery to you!

Mossie · 29/03/2007 00:21

Lol! Why does everyone think you'll forget to tell them?

Right I'm off to bed... night xx

bEllieK · 29/03/2007 00:17

no, thankfully!

i got a text from a friend last week, told him that as he's dating my bessie mate i think she'll tell him when i have it

he said to keep him posted so told him i'll be calling him ever hour when in labour so he doesn't feel he's missing out

Mossie · 29/03/2007 00:07

Actually it's past midnight now. So he's two days over. Lol he isn't even born yet and he already has a problem with attendance and punctuality!

As long as I don't have to be induced, I don't really mind. Have people started calling / texting you all the time yet?

bEllieK · 29/03/2007 00:05

not til 9th

but them 2 having theirs early when due same time as me is just too scary
