Due in June - bounce on your ball till your bum goes numb or it gets so sweaty that you just fall off.

[derlor]

oops hope i've fixed it????

ROFL at the stuff you're picking out Holly. Would send my DH into overdrive, too bad it's hopeless

Just finished the ironing. Ahh felt so grand to have it all crisp and lovely, especially gazing down at my swanky new ironing board cover (Cath 'bird white' print). I may even decide to take up the ironing lark more than twice a year!

Caught myself wondering if the LO would 'notice' that my tablecloth was crease free. Surely this indicates I've no further brain cells left?? Can I go into labour now please??

la la la la, la la la.....

Can't help with the crotchless knickers. But I found this for all you home birthers. Don't click on it if you're having lunch, ok?

eeeewwwwwwww

Do you think it's imminent lilkel? I love the bird print, it's lovely! I am really hankering after the boat print fabric for the curtains in lo's room, I think I might have to keep dreaming, we have massive windows, they would cost a fortune! You are so good doing ironing, I haven't done any for ages!

Ria, hope your BHs go away soon! I'm sure your friend will understand if your house is a mess. Mine have seen my house in various states and are still my friends!

OMG that is farking disgusting! Barf!

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?

Please don't anyone tell me they're thinking of eating their placenta...or feeding it to the in-laws.....smacks of cannibalism to me!

This on the other hand....unique and interesting nursery curtains material? ...esp if you can't afford the Cath ones?!!

I was born at home and I think my mum buried mine. Good fertilizer apparently

You could feed it to them and then tell them afterwards. Hehehe

Please. Someone. Change. The. Subject. Quickly.

I had a pizza for lunch and really don't want to see it again...!!!

sputnik hee hee, I 've told dp we should serve some pate to our very conservative family members then tell them as their eating it that it's placenta pate...heheh he thinks I'm juvenile!
he's right.

I am 40 going on 14. No, make that 4

i reckon our next thread title should include a placenta recipe - or am i just in an antagonistic mood....?

uh oh, it's starting again....the great thread title debate.... how about "This is the Thread Title for Babies Due in May"?

am seriously antsy at the moment. need something to do/buy/iron....

sputnik...you're just trying to get your own back on your MIL for the whole left-over rice thing aren't you?

Burying it I'm OK with....but I'm equally happy for the hospital to just take it away and incinerate it along with everyone elses.

I'm keeping well out of the great thread title debate......I'm still happy to stick with just plain and simple old "Due in June....."...but then again, I am a coward.

Just saw this:

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT

SOH and Mr SOH are very happy to announce the arrival of a lovely baby girl......she was born by emergency C section in the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. Both mum and baby are doing well

Finally.....

TG. Was really worried. Guess we had reason to be seeing as how it was supposed to be a home birth... phew!

Was thinking something dramatic must've happened. Glad they are both fine.

When the midwife showed me the placenta it looked like a huge steak, and I felt quite proud really. I'm a veggie though (well, eat fish), so didn't ask for a doggie bag

Shitty, shit, shit (quite literally!) dd has just done a poo in the last nappy in the pack! Was going to and get some earlier, but I forgot! Pregnancy brain alert! Does anyone know how to fold a terry nappy? I have some kushies, but I think they are too small, wank, arse, bollocks! Dp has just gone out as well. I'm going to have to improvise here! !

Glad SOH is ok!

Holly....if its not too late...try this . But it looks a bit difficult to me.

I managed to rig up a terry insert thing inside a waterproof wrap! It seems to be working and I could get her trousers on over the top, which you can't do with kushies! Thanks for the folds link though, I shall try some of those out! My mum bought me loads of terry nappies the other day so I could try them out, I am a bit frightened of them tbh!

A friend of mine used terries with her LO and he was potty trained at 18 mo and out of night nappies at 2.5 yrs.

I thought about re-usables, but they can take an age to dry....might give terries a go though as they aren't really very dear these days are they?

Whay about this for a business idea......an emergency delivery service for mums who've forgotten to buy things. I culd keep a samml stock of things like nappies, wipes, formula, calpol. all those things that annoyingly run out at inopportune moments....mind you I'd be stuck myself between the hours of 7:30pm and 9:00am!

god my spelling/typing just gets worse and worse.

They are really cheap and not very bulky. £10 for 6 in Mothercare, but I'm sure you can get them cheaper. You can use muslins as nappies for newborns as well apparently! Let's see if my good intentions work out once lo arrives!

How organised am I? I've just washed and dried a load of old towels for the impending event! I'm very concerned about how much mess I'm going to end up with!

Good idea daisy! Can you drive down to me and bring me some Huggies pull ups?!
