Anyone hoping for a really positive feb 2006?

LOL my birth plan is as many drugs I can safely have and enjoy it, like I said I can't remember most of the first labour, I can't remember when my waters broke, if they went naturally or if someone popped them, I don't remember the 3rd stage at all, I don't remember any of the peoples names or faces who were there at the birth - except obviously DH!! It all sounds really petty when you write it down, but it is things I would like to be able to remember after this next one!!

so the gas and air is good then?? did you have any other pain relief?

not at all natalie, lol, i am always interested in hearing how mums got on with the birthing part of it(any part of motherhood for that matter)...im not even pregnant yet and am already trying to get my head around birthing options, lol. thinking ahead is putting it mildly in my case

My DS is 3, 4 in March. I had a bloody horrible birth experience to be honest!!! I was induced, dilated from 4cm to 10cm in about 45 mins (which hurts!!!) I had gas and air which made me fall asleep so I don't remember much, just yelling and screaming for what seemed like hours!! Then I was told to push and finally felt like I had some control, and basically pushed as hard as anyone ever could and he popped out 15 minutes later, I didn't tear but he came out with his hand by his ear (as if he was on the phone!) so his finger nails scraped me so I had to have a couple of sticthes for that, he was 7lb 15 and a half ounces, and was completely perfect!! He was all pink and plump, and he didn't get that funny shaped head that some little tots get so he looked different to every baby I had seen on these birth programs on the telly! Sorry totally turned into a ramble didn't it!!! LOL

how old is your little one natalie?
do u mind if i ask what kind of birth you went for? sorry, im nosey aint i?

I quit smoking when I was PG, then started again when DS was about 18m old, I didn't really ever feel better or worse for not smoking but this time it has only been since 3rd Jan that I haven't had a ciggy and I do really feel better for it, never realised how hard it could be to breathe before!

hey, you have the pump it up workout too?? yay!!! hahaha @dp,men eh? whta do you think of the workout???
i quit smoking about 18 months ago now, and feel a damn site beter for it

I am perfect! DP says so, he reckons that my boobs are big enough that it doesnt matter how big my belly is!! lol,

if they try and take money off him, i'm gonna burn down the cafe! lol (where he used to work)

I've not done anything different really, Oh Oh Wuzzle, I forgot to tel you, i bought that pump it up vid so been doing that of an evening (even DP is doing it, or atleast watching them do it!) gave up smoking nearly a yr ago.

His ex-boss sounds like a right one I really do hope it works out the way you want it to!

I'm not keen on taking suppliments and vit's etc. I think if you put reasonably healthy things into a body you get good things coming out!! Other people will swear by them, but unless I really believed they would make a difference, I wouldn't be bothered!

the only pills im taking to try and help is folic acid..i have evning primrose downstairs too, is that worth taking too?
mumswish, im sure ur prefect as u are anyway
well if they do take any of that money off you, its wrong IMO

i know, i'm just gonna give up on the contraception thing and wait for menopause to kick in before having sex again, that should fix it. lol

I haven't stopped drinking all together, I didn't in my first pregnancy either (have obviously cut down a lot though!), I have quit smoking, and started trying to eat a little better then we have been doing since xmas, but other than that not really done much in the way of prep.

I should technically lose about 4 stone but no matter how much excersise i do i cant lost it so i'm stuck with it.

the tribunal can change the award if they want (or at least the amount) because DP old boss is saying he never got any of the mail that was sent warning him of a tribunal, and cos there was no one at the hearing for them etc so they're trying to say that because they knew nothing of it there shouldnt have even been a hearing never mind an award

You spend your whole (adult) life trying not to get PG, taking pills, having injections and goodness knows what else, and then when you want a baby... ha makes you wonder why we bother with contraception!!

have u actualy stopped drinking alcohol all togather??

I have been told sperm can live anything up to five days, but I think it can differ from man to man as in how healthy he is, how much alcohol, etc. Not 100% sure though.

yeah, ime ant inside the vagina...
hah, it aint as easy as they would maek you beleve is it? lol

as far as i know a couple of days in the vagina cos we've got acidy stuff in there that kills them (and they say making babies is easy!!) outside of vagina i dont know.

lol, i only want to loose about a stone and a hlaf, maybe 2 so i can get bak to being a size 8/10 (perferably 10 i think)
im actualy enjoying al the exercise lol, dont make sense do it?

I don't know much about these sorts of things but if he has been awarded it once, I can't see why they should change their mind after?

life can be very trying cant it...
well im routing for you both that the money wont be changed at all mumswish.i'll have to give them a sorting out for you if they try to

i know im going off topic a little but how long can sperm live iykwim???

this is y i dont diet!

bodies have different rates of digesting. eg: thin people eat and eat but dont get fat, because they're body is quicker. so therefore some people are meant to be thin and some fatter so whats the point in trying to change that?

so do i, we were kinda relying on that money so do house and then go on hols. maybe we'll just have to do house with it!

ahh well,

sorry to hear that mumswish!! heres hoping that it doesnt happen.
im eating a bowl of museli (alpen) lol.
god damn dieting crappy etc etc

Oh what bad news

I hope it gets sorted out quickly for you.
