Er...Katy...quick crash from June and a question...Didn't you just have your baby???? All hail you for having the time to be on here...and big congrats all round

Congrats Bugmum! Glad you got your VBAC and hope the soreness goes soon.

Dippy not been back on - hopefully this means she's v. close to holding precious bundle...

Feeling better this afternoon, got out of the house for a drive so no repeat of this morning's tantrum!

Constant labour vibes to everyone left!

Hello - I discovered this club a few weeks ago, introduced myself and then disappeared -my little boy came early on 27 March instead of 20 April. We named him Daniel and he weighed in at 9lb 5.5oz.

I tried to deliver him naturally but after 18 hours I ended up with an emergency c-sec and was then in hospital for a week.

We're both doing great - I just haven't had a chance to come online and have been wondering how weveryone else was doing.

I'm trying to catch up with all the messages I've missed but I just wanted to say hello in the meantime and wish the rest of you well.

That's great, thanks - I've just emailed you. Going to have a look at who else has had a little bundle of joy now.

Evening - congratualtions to Mavornia - Wow Daniel was a big boy considering he came so early.

I'm sorry to hear things still aren't progressing for Dippy - huge hugs to her, how bloomin' frustrating.

I'm sitting here rocking around on my ball. Not actually having contractions or anything, more just lower backache and constant period-type pain. We'll see......

Awwww, thank you for your messages guys - It is nice to thought of! Esp liked Flamesparrow's "Labour Flags"!!

Wave 'em HARDER!!!

Am feeling pretty and low tbh - hating this "stopping / starting" stuff .... driving me mental ..... won't even go there with what the in-laws did when they were round this PM.

So has been a fairly pants day all round ..... Things can only improve, I guess!!?

ANYWAY, forgetting my manners, selfish moose that I am ....

Congratulations!!! - To Bugmum and Mavornia - Gabriel and Daniel are gorgeous names - Soooooo pleased you got your VBAC Bugmum - wonderful stuff, the cut WILL heal quickly - keep doing the witch hazel though, it's blissful, trust me!! Looking forward to hearing more and seeing cute pics .....

EM, Mavornia's wee one would be pretty big as she is a diabeties sufferer. They make for MUCH bigger babies!!

Still rocking???
