May Mummies, w/c 14th May, What a lovely day to have a baby! Are you listening babies?

[Mrsjaffabiffa]

Morning............

It a bad day! Lg&t I want to be in your gang, I liked being 29.

Crashing in noisily from the June thread to talk to Lulu...if she's still there...

Lulu...saw your post earlier to Pinkjenny about birth plans for elective c-sections. I saw my consultant today and after much discussion, I'm booked in for an elective on 5th June, however she thinks I'll go into spontaneous labour before then......but so I can be as prepared as possible could you e-mail me the info too please?...daisybump at yahoo dot co dot uk....Cheers m'dear.

Sorry about that ladies....as you were

Oh congrats to Mrs JB and family.....

Ooooooh, another little jaffaling for the La Famille Jaffa! Congratulations and well done Mrsjaffabiffa!

Don't worry, I'll still be here....

Forgot to say, DH bought me an ace present today..a plastic back scratcher for £2 off of the market..its heaven!

Turning in now..Have a feeling that tomorrow will bring us about 10 babies..sleep well all, specially you Pink..be sure to let us know soonest of any news..will be thinking of you..

Night all..

Evening all

Huge congrats to MrsJB and family, love the name

Hope my labour is a quick as hers seemed to be. The longer i have this Lo inside the more time ive got to remember how bloody painful labour is. Im currently switching from really wanting all these twinges to turn into something, to hoping that they disappear. I know it doesnt make sense as i desperately want to meet this baby, feels as though ive been pregnant for ages but im now having all those horrible 'what if something goes wrong' worries

My mum has officially given me permission to go into labour now she is back in the country (how nice of her lol) She still thinks it will happen either on the 18th or 20th, she also mentioned 9pm as a starting time so now all i have to do is wait and see if she turns out to be right yet again

I realised today that this baby has to arrive before Wednesday which is my EDD. I have somehow managed to double book myself. As well as it being ds1's birthday (and he would rather not share his birthday with the baby)I have arranged to go to his school for a special Rock Challenge Celebration event where we will get to see the video of the show, look at all the pics and buy the dvd etc. If possible i would really like to go to this mainly because i feel i let him down by not watching him on the actual night but ive got a back up plan just in case I cant make it (my mum/dad will go in my place but that is only if im in labour or the baby arrives the day before)Anyway that is all fine, ds1 understands that its hard for me to plan too much but tonight i realised that i have also arranged to see my midwife on that day as well and my appointment with her falls halfway through the event at the school and it was the only space available Im so dippy, how can i double book myself like that. Im going to leave it until Tuesday before I contact my midwife to cancel in the hope that by then this LO will have decided to put in an appearance and all will be ok but if nothing has happened by then i hate the thought of having to wait another week before i see her again

Oh well im sure it will work out in the end

Meant to say good luck to pink as well

Hurrah for Mrs JB and BabyBiffa! So pleased it's all gone well.

Best of luck Jenny, if you get a chance to read this.

Pebble, I know where you're coming from. DD has a dance concert thingy at 6pm tomorrow. Her dad, it's so lovely of him, he's arranged to fly over for the day tomorrow to see it in case I go into labour. Awww. The poor child though, not sure if Mammy will be at her show, not sure if she'll get to celebrate her birthday properly (on Monday) as there might be a baby here, or I could be in labour. All very up in the air. She's been very good about it. And like your DS, she really doesn't want to share her birthday!

Actually, will be odd if she does, because my grandad's wife's granddaughter has the same birthday. That would be three girls in grandad's family all with 21/05 as their birthday.

Ramble, ramble. Wish the rain would stop.

Think my baby is coming on Saturday (hosp due date) or Sunday (my due date). DD1 came on "my" due date, the day before the hosp date.

daisy will email you later on x

Thanks Lulu

Good luck Pink!!!! Think I'm too late for you to get this though.

Congrats MrsJB - Fabulous news!!

LW - where are you?

Message withdrawn

Morning everyone!

I dreamt my my waters broke last night, it was so real i sat up in bed and felt it! No such luck...... I do feel quite niggly though but sure it will come to nothing.

Mum taking Hugs to a toddler swimming group this morning, i get to drink coffee and watch through the glass

Pink im sure you are already in hosp, will wait patiently for text Unlike pacing MIL and Parents outside, hope it is all ok for you.

TYG i love your confidence in dropping on your due date, can i have some please? MrsJB was very sure yesterday and LOOK what happened to her. Must try harder at this visualisation stuff today, no ham and mustard wraps

Sorry if TMI but dh and i ..ahem...again last night but i moved at the crucial moment and nothing went in the right place!!! Wasted chemicals said DH........ ROFL

WoooHoo Jaffa family so chuffed for you - feeling all tearing and emotional now, love the name

Scoot, think i lost about 1/2lb, will keep it going this week, tbh i didnt do their recipes, just tried to follow the "rules" lots of fruit and veg, low fat stuff, dont think ive had any bread this week lots of stir fry, jacket spuds, soup, its very easy to do, its basically just healthy eating

Pink good luck for today, wishing you a calm and straightforward cs, not long till you hol lo, awwwww

LGT how on earth are you managing to eh erm, we had given up at 30 weeks just tooo awkward!! dont brush off your dream - I dreamed when i would have willow and how i would get to hossi - even the time i would be calling the taxi - and i dreamed the day i had my scan and consultant appt it was exact "you will have your baby very soon, in the nexr few days" so maybe it is a sign your waters will be going pretty bloody soon!!

Good luck ladies - out you come babies

Well done Mrs JB.

Good luck PJ its going to be fine.

Has anyone got LW mobile so they can find out whats going on not like her to be missing am sure she is all snuggled up in bed with her LO.

Have decided that my pelvic region is to sore to be giving birth anytime soon why does it hurt all the time - aaaarrrgghh.

jw - emailed you a couple of days ago, but don't know if you got it.

I am now on ML. HURRAH!!!!! Feel like I'm truanting. It's great. Lovin it.

Any more babies today? Will now browse the thread and attempt the impossible task of getting up to date with all the goings on.

@ LG&T. Waaahhhaaaahhhaa.

Megg, that's really kind of you to offer. I do actually have the Mongan CD, plus one that I got at the classes I went to. I kind of just meant that it's great to hear good stories about it working. Makes me feel more confident.

So is anyone having a baby today? I'm not, since I have to go to this school dance thingy for DD this evening.

sorry juicylucy I did get it am out and about for the rest of this week but how about next week will drop you a text.

Hope you are enjoying your ML I suggest your first few days are spent doing nothing. It does feel a bit like you are taking a sicky but way better.

LG&T, more nooky????? Good gracious woman dh must be exhausted!

Pebble it will be spooky if the baby comes when your mum predicts - she could make a fortune on here

where is LW??? Hope she is ok. What about soh has anyone heard from her, hopefully she is taking it easy.

No probs jw, was just worried I'd got the address wrong.

Plan to do very little except potter round the house for the next few days. It's desperately in need of a tidy up and I can start washing baby things now as the date is getting closer.

Let's hook up next week. BB was discharged today, so may be up for something by next week.

Congrats Family JB on the arrivial of mini JB.

Morning all..

lol largeandt..leave him alone-he's a man of the cloth y'know...

I feel quite sore in my Pelvis Julie too..but think its just the weight of the baby..

Well 1/2 lb isnt bad Lupins!..Im quite looking forward to losing some weight..DH has promised ot buy me a Topshop Maxi dress when I do..(he was reading my Look magazine last night and saw Nicole Ritchie in one and took a shine to it..think he is going a bit metrosexual since football season has ended!)

Maybe you will go into labour at the dance thing TYG-Or you at your rock thingy Pebble..all the maternal pride might push the lo's into action .Thats sweet of DD's dad to fly over TYG..

I dont have LWatkins mobile and I only have her uni address..getting a bit worried about her TBH..

That said I woke at 3am this morn and felt very anxious about EVERYTHING, and couldnt get back to sleep.Feel very niggly today, with the odd pain and just..not quite right..

My Mum phoned last night wittering on about how she was now sure I would go into labout whilst DH is in his exams next week and she doesnt think Ill tell her..WTF?I will tell her as soon as my waters break as she is then going to come down to mind DD and it takes her the best part of a day to get here..(not the journey-that takes at most 3 hours, but she is incapable of any speed in packing a bag and getting out of the house)As a back up DD will go cm's and my Mum can pick her up from there whenever she arrives-think its this thats bothering her..she has become bizarrely jealous of my support network!But I can hardly wait for her to arrive can I?I dont think I can manage a toddler whilst being in hard labour just to protect her feelings..sheeesh!

DD asleep (in our bed needless to say, not her cot as have given up on that battle for now)and I might get in with her..only have new Bumps and Babes group to get to at 3 this aft..half the group have had their babies already so they are coming with them today..I am taking DD so they can see what they are in for

Well done MrsJB

congratulations MrsJB!

A few period pains here, but they are going away and nothing happening for a few hours.
Baby still tap-dancing on my ribs and headbutting my bladder like a good 'un.

I am trying not to think of my due date, just a vague sense of 'sometime this month I will have a baby'

morning ladies!
and many congrats to Mrs JB and family!
thoughts with pinkjenny today too!
bump heavy and hard today. kind of achey. not doing much today tho. got friend coming over this afternoon. i was planning on going to supermarket to get stuff for dh who reckons he wants to make a quiche/tart thing tonight (not quite as bizarre as it sounds. he loves cooking and hes very good at it too) but i really cant be arsed to do anything right now....maybe later....

so who is next then??

im 6 days away from edd and want to follow in lg&t footsteps and use and abuse dh but hes on antibiotics for chest infection and keeps going to bed early and i feel guilty if i just jump on him in his fragile state!? i really thought this baby was gonna be early but it seems the baby has other ideas..?

Scoot, are our mothers related??? My mum would have her bag packed ready, BUT she's really funny about "you will tell me, won't you" and the effing prophet of doom about prety much everything. If my DH was doing exams, she'd be saying the same thing to me. "Oooh, I bet you go into labour JUST at the wrong time." Thanks a frickin' lot. Plus, if I have a little whinge about some pg related thing, she says something helpful like, "Oh see, I never had ANYTHING like that on you. I LOVED being pregnant, every minute of it. I didn't want it to end." And then, "Hmmm, see on DD you had the same kind of labour as me. All in your back. Terrible isn't it? I bet you're the same on this one. I wonder if it's genetic." Oh FGS... And she wonders why I don't tell her much.

Congratulations MrsJB, hope you and baby Jorja are doing well.
