Due in August 2006. Part 3

[Nbg]

Hello

Just like to report that it looks like we have sold our house

well done nbg so when do you move

Gawd knows but I reckon it could be quick because it's a cash buyer with no chain

And theres me stressing out because it's only gone on the internet today!

Dh doesn't even know yet. Can't get hold of him!

wow im so glad for you my aunt is having real trouble buying a house it keeps falling thru bless her
like we need any more stress

I really don't envy people buying/selling houses.
It really is the most stressful thing to do EVER!

Dh is going to be sooo pleased!

Well done Nbg! Pleased for ya.
You must watch Whistleblowers tonight at 9pm. The agents get trounced, now maybe someone will listen and regulate us. Will give the good guys a chance....

Jayjay, still thinking about it. Wanted to ask my dr but will have to wait til i see him now. At least i have my Hand Held Notes!!!!
Actually asked dh for his opinion, says its not natural to give birth in water, silly idea, blah blah blaugggghhh. Stopped listening by this point, will investigate some more

Thought I'd repaste this and change mine as I'm having pernickity moment - must be my hormones

Taken Ruth off. Thought in the circumstances....

Oh god yeah.

Thanks for spotting that one Olivo.

thanks nbg, still getting the hang of mn so didn't want to risk confusing everyone by making a mess of cutting and pasting the list, computers don't like me very much

just told my parents as i didn't want to say anything til i got the all clear at the scan. my mom isn't what you'd call the supportive helpful type if something was very wrong. so envious of all of you with normal sane mothers who can be helpful during the preg. mine was such a nightmare last time i came close to smacking her a few times, not that she's any better now i've had dd!

congrats on the house sale nbg, must be a record of some kind!

snowdrops, your dh sounds soooo helpful! not that i can talk, dp actually announced today that maybe i should stay in hospital for at least a day, even though i've said since i had dd that with the next baby i was leaving the hospital right after the birth, if i decide to go in at all, bacause of the horrendous night i had there last time and the bullying unhelpful nurses. not to mention that even when i got the all clear the next morning to leave it took him until 4 in the afternoon to turn up as he 'had to pick up some stuff from town and traffic was awful'! grrrr

sorry for incredibly long post, in one of those moods!

Well, I am definitely planning a waterbirth at home, with full support from dh.

I'm quite looking forward to it, actually.

lucky you

i'm too chicken to commit to a home birth even though i'd really like one because of last time. everything was ok in the end but it was close and i'd be terrified of being in a situation like that with no doctors or equipment around in case things didn't go as smoothly.

Congrats Nbg, thats a load off ure mind eh! Arabica, thinking of you at 2, keeping everything crossed.

thinking of you arabica for later
so ladies aqua natal is it any good or is it a slower version of aerobics
just wondering as i cant follow aqua aerobics as im too blind to see whats happening lol

Hey All, Back to join the gang. SO much has happened some good news and some very sad news too, my heart goes out to you you know who you are..

Great to hear the subject is on home or hospital birth. I am thinking of having a home birth but I am not certain or confident in making this decision. I had a not too bad exp in hospital last time but hated being seperated at 3am from partner and being moved to maternity ward. THis is my main reason for wanting a home birth. i think it will be easier to get that initial rest needed straight after labour in my own home. BUT I am really worried about the mess. DOes that sound ridiculous??? I have a small white flat!!!! I bled loads and I have visions of taping my house in plastic pre birth which wont really be a lovely homely enviroment that a home birth should result in. i have visions of me pacing around on black plastic. AM I BEING RIDICULOUS???

I know what u mean, I remember seeing a home birth video in my classes last time and the womans lounge carpet was covered in newspaper, I remember thinking that it was like preparing for a cat to have her kittens or something as she padded round on them!!

Having said that, I do think the enviroment at home is much calmer and more condusive to the right happy hormones flowing and helping labour. Although I would be nervous about being away from hospital help.

Not an option for me though, has to be a hospital birth.

Morning all

Having a great day already. Dh has come in off the back off a night shift, not bothered going to sleep and taken dd out swimming for a few hours so I have the house to myself
Just remembered that I'm going to see Take That in May so I'm trying to dig out my greatest hits cd so I can have a good singalong

I'm amazed at how many opt for the home birth option. I'm sure it's really nice but don't any of you worry about the what if's?
I have to admit the prospect of giving birth doesn't worry me at all but have to know I have some medical back up just in case.

How many are you going for the home birth and how many are going for hospital?

want the home birth but not sure my flat with tile floors would be very comfortable! also theres the aforementioned issue of me panicing about the what-ifs you mentioned nbg.

our area runs a domino scheme though so i can stay at home til the last minute and be discharged right after the birth which would probably suit me best.

labouring at home is definitely more relaxing but when it comes to the final push i want ti know theres resusitation equipment there for baby if he needs it, my daughter did.

hi evryone wewlcome back freddysays my dh told me i was going to hospital so i dont have much choice is the only thing he has sort of put an opinion on
but it means im going for water birth i reckon it's just as nice as wallowing in your bath must say if this one goes well and i decide to have another one im gonna have a home birth
we only live 5 mis from hospital so im not going in til i have to

Take That.. Christ that brings back some memories Have to admit was more into New Kids on the block (the shame)

Had my first ante natal appt yesterday and they took my bloods for the various tests. Also booked in my 21 week scan, just another 4 weeks to go!

Because I had a big baby last time and my family has a history of adult onset diabetes I have to go for a GTT test mid June.

Oh and as for home birth v/s hospital, I unfortunately have no choice. It's an elective c/s for me at 38 weeks (not 36 as advised when I had dd)

Is anyone else due for their 20 week scan? are you going to find out the sex of the baby? I'm sure this has already been asked.

I did labour at home with dd for a few hours and I was 5cm when I went in to hospital.
Coped more than ok up till then, quite a breeze really
But my only concern before we went in was that they should be monitoring baby.

So glad I spent the first few hours at home wandering about rather than lying on a hospital bed.

New Kids on the Block
Hahahahahahahahah

yeah take that i worship at the alter of the robster
must say i creid all the way thru there documentary

Am getting upset now I can't find my CD.
Can't wait to go and see them and I can't believe I forgot I was going!

I was 16.. didn't know any better. That's my excuse and i am sticking to it
