Here's the new discussion thread!

Stats thread here

whats dal and nepalese?

Privet - The potty training has gone ok so far over the weekend, although constantly watching DS and sitting next to him on the potty all day has been very tiring. Thankfully he has been at nursery today, so they have taken over. They did say he has been doing well, but noticed on the way home that he was wearing a nappy!!!???

Will have to ask them about that one tomorrow...

Lots of long walks, mumcha!

Hmm ever likely he was 'doing well' if he had a nappy on!
Will be out tomorrow, might suggest DH tries it on his day off on Thursday :)

Just popped in to see if anyone had had a baby yet and see that things are moving for hmmmsleep and mumcha. Thinking of you both and hope you will have gorgeous little bundles in your arms soon (if you haven't already).

34+3 here and consultant said induction between 37 and 38 weeks if nothing has happened by then.Thats not far away now. I'm ready to stop being pregnant but if I could have a couple of weeks respite between being pregnant and actually getting these babies, that would be lovely, thank you!!

Also just popped on to get my labour-watch update!

Labour vibes to hmm and mumcha and any one else who needs them - wishing you quick and easy deliveries.

35+5 here and feel like I have a loooonng way to go yet - I haven't even started ML yet!

Dhal/dal as in lentil curry, nepalese food but any curry

thanx for the tip i have had curry the last 3 nights that have burnt the roof of my mouth,plenty of long walks and sex but nothing is moving.Im just getting very bad braxton hicks hope things move along soon .

My respect for the ladies who are still going in to work is suddenly overridden by respect for the ones who are still having sex.

Oh come on umf, having to work out how to get around the bump makes it much more fun Don't tell us you haven't tried?

mumcha If it wasn't for the BH and impending labour you've just described my perfect weekend I do hope things get moving for you soon.

haha umf i have to agree with you!

privet thanks, turns out the TENS wires were a bit lose... seems much better now.

mumcha & hmmmm wishing u lots of luck, i hear the long walks are the way to go.

mad dreams and very little sleep -- i am a zombie at work, think i will bring mat leave start date fwd a few days!

I'm with everyone else on the mad dreams - last night I dreamt that I'd had the baby but every time we went out somewhere we'd leave him behind and not notice for several hours

I think I have to agree with umf on the sex front

hmmsleep can't believe I missed your post above, good luck with everything and hope things are going well for you.

mumcha I've heard the long walks thing too. Also walking sideways up and down stairs, this helps the pelvis to open too apparently.

Umf that made me laugh - almost as much as a book I was reading the other day, which recommended you get labour started by having sex with your ankles against your partner's shoulders to ensure deep penetration ! How many 9-months-pg women can lie on their back with ankles by their ears fgs... I too am impressed by anyone who is still having an, ahem, active lovelife at this stage in pg.

welcome celestine!

Working at home today thank God.

Mumcha it's the dal that's important not the curry, I think it gave me wind that set me off without making me ill, I had some at about 28 weeks and it kicked off some really strong braxton hicks.

A woman I know at church reckoned that driving round an unmade car park helped things along for her...

Sex????? I think I have forgotten what that actually entails! Poor DH. It will be a while aswell.

mumcha the morning I went into labour with DS2 I was at soft play with DS1 and had a long(ish) walk at lunchtime. Waters broke at 4pm that afternoon. Keep walking!

Sorry not to catch up with any news but wanted to tell you we've had a baby boy born 2am Sat morning after induction starting wed morning. hard work but totally worth it.

congrats nomoremagnolia hope all went well. come back soon and give us the details. enjoy your snuggles x

you don't want the details til after all your babies are here, believe me! but he's totally worth every minute of it.

Congratulations Nomoremagnolia. Enjoy your little boy.

Adding my congratulations Nomoremagnolia! Hope you're getting lots of rest and bonding nicely xx

Congrats nomore and hope things are progressing well for hmm and mumcha! its all very real and exciting!!

What did you call him and how much did he weigh nomore?

Had the worst nights sleep last night!! Everything hurt and I just couldn't get comfy so am also a zombie today!!
Had weird dream that baby popped it's head out through my tummy (think that's after all the strange shapes my tummy makes!!) and I had to try to keep it warm before getting hold of the midwife but phone wouldn't work and i was in a complete pickle!! Was a boy but looked very odd!! Weird thing are dreams hey??

congratulations nomore!! How much did he weigh? Enjoy your cuddles sounds like it was a long and hard labour.

Congratulations nomoremagnolia! and - well done!! Sounds like a marathon. Wish there was a bunch of flowers emoticon to send you.

congratulations nomoremagnolia! This is all getting very exciting.

Thanks to everyone for BH info - v helpful. I've had no more twinges. TENS machine came this morning though, might have a play with that later!
