Daisy, your c-section is soon isn't it? Is it 7 days? That does seem like an age away though. I'm really hoping I don't go to term now as I don't think I could cope with another 5 or 6 weeks!

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 28/05/2007 19:49

Next Tuesday, so not long really as the weeks seem to be flying by at the moment. I'd decided that if I go into labour spontaneously, I'll give it a fair old go, otherwise its the knife for me next week. Maybe having second thoughts about the C-section too, but this is normal I believe.

Thanks annobal, lovely paper, but looks really expensive! I really want the jane churchill peter rabbit stuff now for lo's room! I want this one. Might just go to laura ashley tomorrow and buy it anyway!

I tried the cervix thing too daisy and couldn't find it. I got too grossed out by it to fish around too much!!

Foxy you will be fine I'm sure, maybe try not to think about it too much, that's my trick! Keep imagining a newborn baby and how wonderful and beautiful they are and how lovely they smell and teeny little baby grows and how much her brothers and sister are going to love her and how much you and dp are going to love her and how pretty she will look in her cool leopard print hat and suit set!!

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 28/05/2007 19:53

LOL holly....I asked DH to bang his knob against my nose and then my lips to get a comparison....then tell me what it feels like when we have sex.....he fell off the chair laughing

hollyandalice · 28/05/2007 19:54

ROFL daisy, you are a minger !!

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 28/05/2007 19:54

That parer is really nice by the way.

Apologies for the offensive tone lowering posts from this corner...

I'll go sit quietly wearing my sackcloth and ashes!

annobal · 28/05/2007 19:56

You're right Holly - does look expensive but thought it might give you inspiration. The Laura Ashley one is lovely - very calming.

Whenever I'm getting scared (which is quite often), I think of a really calm homebirth with lots of candles, labouring during the day then giving birth about 10ish (any later and I might wake the neighbours) and us all being tucked up in bed for DSs to meet when they come in in the morning.

Well - I can dream, can't I????

annobal · 28/05/2007 19:56

OH, and did I mention, NO PAIN?

annobal · 28/05/2007 19:57

LOL Daisy - I'd say the same to DH but he'd get the wrong idea...

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 28/05/2007 19:59

annobal, but I don't know whether DH was laughing at the comparison thing, or the thought of having sex with me in this state

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 28/05/2007 20:00

I like the idea of your no-pain labour, but if these false labour contractions I've been having are anything to go on....that ain't gonna happen!

hollyandalice · 28/05/2007 20:01

I did say to my dp earlier that he could get lucky tonight! I've changed my mind. Might go to bed early and pretend to be asleep!

That's the idea for my home birth annobal, calm, serene and little pain! Let's hope it works out!

riabutterflew · 28/05/2007 20:08

Am glad I'm not the only one bricking it!

Might be perking up now. Just off to put DS2 safely to bed, DS1 watching springwatch... Am still pissed off with life though.

annobal · 28/05/2007 20:32

Ria, sounds like you need to get the kids to bed and put your feet up with a bucket of icecream and a block of choc. Hope you feel better soon

derlor · 28/05/2007 20:32

i'm a really funny shape this evening - think LO is lying across the way it's really not very comfy at all!

OP posts:
hollyandalice · 28/05/2007 20:35

Are you ok ria? You have sounded a bit down lately, not your usual self (((HUGS))).

hollyandalice · 28/05/2007 20:36

Dd is staying at my parent's tonight as my mum is on half term and I just phoned her up to say goodnight and she is in bed. I feel now!

derlor · 28/05/2007 20:39

oh holly don't be sad you can make the most of your planned night of passion!!!!!

OP posts:
hollyandalice · 28/05/2007 20:42

LOL derlor! My planned night of passion has turned into me sitting in my pjs and a baggy old jumper with dinner all down the front and eating coco pops and occasionally giving dp a look of death!

derlor · 28/05/2007 20:44

sounds about right Holly - i'm sure you look FAB

OP posts:
hollyandalice · 28/05/2007 20:45

Yep, I'm super sexy!

derlor · 28/05/2007 20:48

you come to a wallpaper descision yet?

riabutterflew · 28/05/2007 21:07

Bloody bank holidays.

I think I do feel a bit better (currently, until DH comes home and tells me he is not off as planned tomorrow. If I am prepared for this happening am I less likely to rip his liver out?) Thanks for caring. I was beginning to wonder if I was looking at more than late PG hormonal ranting and my AND was back - will wait and see.

I have assembled ingredients for a surprise cooked breakfast and am defrosting ham and have made sausage rolls (OK they were frozen!) for our family day tomorrow, which will be spent having a fun picnic(?!) as it's the holidays. Maybe we all need a day away (though DH has told the boys that the LO will probably arrive tomorrow - I think it was part of his explanation as to why mummys eyes were leaking.) Then I'll be fresh for the nesting again on Wednesday. Bloody silly though that we get nesting instinct and use all our energy before labour when you need all the energy you can muster. (I have gone off the idea somewhat and would like to go to sleep and wake up when the undignified bit is over!)
