October 2013 - Who is the least prepared?

[GTbaby]

just made it in time for last post on old thread... i hope

No lady bit checking here MrsO - until the consultant did my sweep without telling me

jelly I got to hospital 40 minutes before baby 3 was born. I am still hoping for a water birth though.

mrsO I have never had any "intimate" checks other than those done in labour

So the ladies that are considering gong into the birthing pool would you like your DH's or DP's to go in with you? I asked mine earlier and he said he would really like to....crazy man but I'd quite like that too, might me kind of comforting.

Flyer.....no way. Just me in the water.

mrso the only time I was examined Down there was at 28 weeks when I thought I had leaked waters but it was infant pee lol and when I had sweeps and then obviously when in labour x

infant pee I mean infact pee haha awkward ...

I only ever had one check down there to confirm that my waters were leaking and I wasn't wetting myself! Don't think they normally check you until they start examining your cervix in labour?
Just booked next years holiday flights!! Not for the baby I can add him/her when he/she arrives. Quite exciting though, I'll have 7 months to become beach body beautiful lets hope I can do it! Eeek!

Lovely shooting where are you all off to?

I think a water birth looks amazing. The bit that puts me off is that I get hot and faint when in pain and would probably want to get back out when that happens. I would be reluctant to be in there for the pushing- I know I probably won't care at the time but the thought of sitting in a pool full of waters and gunk makes me feel a bit sick!! Don't think DP would be v impressed with that either lol. Again, I know I probably won't care.

Thanks for the nice comments, baby is back to its normal self now. And so am I! My mum came with me to be assessed this morning. While waiting and listening to screams I told her that I was going to breathe my baby out and it will all be v dignified and serene. She laughed at me

Is anyone else watching BBC2?! DP's dad is a bus driver, the thought of him sitting in training with a man singing about ice cream cones is making me laugh. Saving child genius for when DP gets back from camp, no spoilers please!!

mrsO no internals until labour here also. Some feeling baby's position quite low down towards the end but nothing intimate.

flyer dh is the opposite. First thing he said to me when I mentioned I was considering a water birth was "we'll I'm not getting in with you!"

natalie infant pee

I had no idea that ur partner could get in the pool with you!!!! another thing putting me off a water birth Haha!!

So it's seems blokes in the pool isn't the norm then. I'd probably end up drowning DP in there when I'm in pain and he starts annoying me haha!

I baked a whole tray of flapjacks about an hour ago, DP and I just polished off the whole lot, now feeling v v sick and glutinous. A healthy tea there too.

Aww don't let us put you off Flyer as long as DP knows what to expect and you're comfortable then go for it! It's not unheard of.

I read 'infant pee' loads of times before I read your follow on comment natalie haha! I was thinking, surely infant pee would not be a good sign!!
You've put my mind at rest ladies. No mad 'grooming' panics for a few weeks yet . That's if it will still be physically possible to do any grooming in that area in a few weeks time

Opinions needed fallen in love with a new name

Theo....?

I love it Natalie. Our next door neighbours boy is called Theo. I suggested it to DP but he wasn't keen..it goes well with your surname too.

sorry to lower the tone (again) bit does anyone know if the actor playing Luther is single and potentially interested in pregnant women? so hot!!!

love Theo Natalie, one of my favourite names

DP is not getting in the pool with me - he is not small... so the pool would overflow. Simple facts

natalieand Theo is a family name for us (DH's Dad's middle name and his Grandad's first name, and his great-Grandad's middle name etc), but it's been poached by another family member now so we can't really use it. I do think it's a lovely name though. wickedgirl has it on her name list too according to Google docs!

Oh my gosh - I've missed two whole threads!

Re. the pool debate, I was all for it until recently and I've started worrying that being in 'dirty' water will get on my nerves on the day...am I over-thinking it? I definitely wouldn't want DH in there and I don't think he'd want to be!

I'm 25+2 today and had my latest midwife meeting. I measure at 26 weeks apparently - how accurate are the measurements?

What's the actors name clapham?

Am I the only saddo on here that read 50 shades of grey and can't wait to find out who will be cast as Christian Grey?! I hear Matt bomber (total hunk) or Ian somerhalder (also a hunk) are the favourites. Matt Bomer is just lush.

he is called Idris Elba. google him. Is it just mean or does anyone else think he is hot.

Haven't read 50 shades of grey I'm afraid. Am I missing much? DP's 77 old mum has though!

Good point about size of DP's clapham. It would be like sharing a pool with shamu from sea world . DP isn't overweight he is just a big built guy.

Just googled him, he looks hot in some pics not so in others. I liked 50 shades, the books weren't very well written but I'm a soft cow and liked the romance/love story side of it, and fell in love with Christian Grey a messed up millionaire who is fit as...

Btw I was on about my DP being like shamu not yours...I re read that post and it sounded like I insulted your DP
