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

oops hope i've fixed it????

Have you got a big plastic sheet for the floor Holly? IIRC the birthing room resembled an abattoir once I'd finished with it

i've actually got some left over from when DS was using them and you're welcome to them.....
....but you might be quicker nipping out to the corner shop

Nice image sputnik

I tried muslins on DD as newborn. Still quite bulky. The best was one of those nappy booster insert things in a nappy wrap

I'mgoing to go and buy some plastic sheeting or shower curtains from B&Q. LOL at abbatoir! Birthing is a messy business! I remember with dd my waters broke as her head came out and there was this tremendous gush! I'm so glad I was in the pool, it would have soaked the mw otherwise!

Sorry, I've obviously got blood, placentas and drippy steaks on the brain today.
I find that as the event is coming closer I'm mentally going over all those things I'd hurriedly forgotten about the birth

I couldn't believe how big the placenta was! I was very interested in it and made the student mw show it to me in detail! As an ex zoology student I have seen and chopped apart many a placenta, but none was as big as mine!

I love this place.....check out this . If I hadn't already posted on it I could've gone on all umpity about all those words offending my sensibilities

.....who's gonna do it....dare you !

Huge aren't they! Enough for a good 12 portions of placenta lasagna at least. You could invite the nieghbours over

You could make a placenta pie by wrapping it in pastry! That would be nice!

TBH I hate all the words for girl's bits daisy, they are all horrible! Maybe I should air my grievences! Or maybe not!

Cut into thin strips, coat in flour and fry in butter, yum.

We're stuck with bottom atm

Not that I'm going to try it, but I wonder what it would taste like! It would prob make me very ill though seeing as I haven't eaten meat for 17 years!

help help calling all you interweb experts - i need a cm square cushion cover (no sewing machine here)... SOS!

How big lilkel? What pattern/colour? I'll find you one!

I'll definately give some to my miserable neighbour who just drove on the pavement and missed me by about a foot. When I said "Excuse me..its usually not the done thing to drive on the pavement when pedestrians are passing", she told me to Piss Off.....Miserable old witch. I just smiled sweetly and told her there was no need for that sort of language. Just wait till I get the spikes for the side of my new pram....like the chariot in Ben Hur.

It's meant to taste a bit like liver....watched a cookery programmee years ago with Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall where they made pate and fed it to their guests at the baby's naming ceremony

Lilkel, a cm square cushion cover? Is it for the dolls house?
I know you are just trying desperately to change the subject

I farking hate neighbours, they are all tossers! Dp nearly had a fight with next door but one the other day, it was quite amusing! He is a mad man and called dp a nonce and asked him if he wanted to have a go! Stupid wanker!

right....time for tea...liver and onions tonight I think

LOL at the woman on the girl's bit's thread who had to practice saying vagina etc in front of the mirror

My neighbour is a treasure.
Had some from hell once though.

Or black pudding perhaps, Daisy

I'm going to have to improvise with my dinner as our food sitch is as dire as the nappy one! It might have to be random combos of food from the freezer! Potato wedges and pie or something as strange!

Ours are generally alright considering the average age in this street is about 65 (and DS goes a long way to bringing that average down), although we have one who has to know everyone's business...a real curtain twitcher, and the family over the road have got a Westie pup who, cute though he is, is left barking at all hours of the day and night. I made DH go and complain about it, asit wke me up twice at the weekend barking at 10:45pm....she gave me a bit of a wide berth when I saw her earlier today, but I haven't heard the dog barking all week!
