thanks derlor. Actually she did also tell me that "methods of intervention" (forceps etc) are pretty unneccessary by the third too - I was the third and was forceps (suppose it had been a while since my big sister though...). Bless them, I suppose they like to keep us entertained (I would not be so accepting if it had been that mad woman I saw last week!)

I'm a great believer in bollocks!

I am trying to find DH a new job for after his paternity leave. It seems every other chef in the country gets paid more than him - I found one ad for two whole days AND an extra night off a week and was still massive amounts of pay. Sadly no-where near here...

DesperateDerlor · 30/05/2007 22:18

yeah health professionals are expert in telling you what you want to hear - i'm GREAT at saying "what a beautiful baby" and "oh don't worry its just a little bit of vomit/pee on my trouses - i don't mind!!"

TALLULAHBELLE · 30/05/2007 22:19

Am off to watch Desperate H/W then to bed. Will expect flurry of activity come Fri night. Can't wait to see if this one proves true. Hooooowwwwwwll. Just practising . Night all.

DesperateDerlor · 30/05/2007 22:19

well lets prove this theory correct
night Tallulah

annobal · 30/05/2007 22:20

LOL Derlor

riabutterflew · 30/05/2007 22:21

DH home - am off to be nice (in a non-seductive manner!)

Your job must be hard derlor when it comes to having to say those things - it would finish me off!

Night all Rx

DesperateDerlor · 30/05/2007 22:24

Ria the worst part of my job for you would be having to sit in some of the dumps people choose to call home then literally peal yourself off the couch and peal your feet from the carpet (if they have one) when leaving. NICE!!!!!!!

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 30/05/2007 22:31

LOL Derlor...at the inage of you dancing naked under the moon....and of baing noce to people about their ugly pukey babies (I'll never trust another health professional as long as I live now)

Tallulah....from what I remember of Kelvingrove Park (BF was at Glasgow Uni late 80s) it's quite nice, and at least if it was a boy you could call him Kelvin

Yikes, just caught the end of BB.....what a farking nightmare being locked up with that lot for seven weeks.....the poor poor man who will be joining them all on Friday. Mind you, the hairy bi-sexual from east london could be entertaining ....maybe NOT!

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 30/05/2007 22:33

baing noce....wtf....

being nice I meant of course.

I think my mental filing system has gone haywire......getting words wrong all the time at the mo and can't spell for toffee.

riabutterflew · 30/05/2007 22:33

It's funny but my friend mentioned that when she was on placement with a HV. I would just have a problem with the people aspect in general! One day I'll find my ideal job and it will involve no people (or children), no telephones, not having to be nice unless I want to be...

Night night.

DesperateDerlor · 30/05/2007 22:38

right i'm off to bed - might be my last sleep without going into labour!!!!!!! after all Friday starts in 25 hours and 25 mins tick tock tick tock - (OK i've officially lost the plot) night all x

trendaverter · 31/05/2007 07:20

Just something to make everyone smile this morning...
Bad Baby Names

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 31/05/2007 07:42

Good Morning.....after DSs 5:30 bedtime....we've been up since 5:45 this morning....oh farking joy

LOL at some of those names TA.....

Don't know if any of you saw This thread from Westcoaster yesterday. She hasn't been back on since then....I hope things are OK.

BadZelda · 31/05/2007 08:10

She went to sleep eventually...all is quiet now and watching f-word on the lappie in the bedroom. She was objecting to DH putting her to bed instead of me - kind of an ongoing problem...but one that obviously needs to be solved with a new baby on the way...we'll get there though.

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 31/05/2007 08:13

My DS started objecting to me putting him to bed when DH started his new job in January and is away part of the week. He's fine now, and knows that if there is any nonsense...no story (oh, I am a harsh mummy)

BadZelda · 31/05/2007 08:19

Oh - weird I posted that last night but the laptop battery died. Oops! Anyway good morning Daisy and TA. Hope the sleep you did get was restful.

BadZelda · 31/05/2007 08:21

Yeah...must resist the tendency to spoil her. Will not pay dividends with two of them. Shit did I say two of them? Help! We're having another baby! (believe it or not I think this STILL hasn't sunk in...but then was in total denial until at least 2 weeks AFTER dd1 was born)

Twiga · 31/05/2007 08:26

DGSF - decided to go for VBAC and just go with whatever happens as it happens - must have a listen to that radio prog while dd naps this afternoon.

DD - hi and don't worry about the name thing, some of my typos are terrible and having a pg brain doesn't help!

annobal · 31/05/2007 08:42

LOL TA - that thread is hilarious. I once met someone who called their child Carolachelle - she couldn't make her mind up between Carol and Michelle so combined them .

Daisy - I saw the thread yesterday from Westcoaster - poor thing, I hope she is okay.

As predicted, one at 5.30 (who went back to sleep) and the other at 6.15 (who didn't). Ah well, at least they'll be in bed early tonight, MW is coming over for dinner and birth talk...

trendaverter · 31/05/2007 09:00

Morning all!
I slept like a bloody log, hope you all did too. I take it no-one has given birth?

I read that thread, also that one by Vio, it breaks my heart and really puts it into perspective. I complain about my itching and my stretch marks but these stories truly make me realise how lucky I am... even more so when my older sis cannot get pregnant and I know that she would love to have a stretch mark, 10,000 of them, if it meant she could have a baby.

It's a fear throught every PG women - what if something goes wrong with me, and worse what if something goes wrong with the baby. I guess it's only natural to worry but it must be like the sky falling when your fears are realised.
Poor ladies.

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 31/05/2007 09:01

I assume you have an independant MW Annobal....can't imagine mine doing any sort of out of hours service?

annobal · 31/05/2007 09:24

Daisy, yes - she's fantastic.

TA - it is very sad isn't it. It definitely put me at a loss for words.

foxybrown · 31/05/2007 09:31

Morning all! How is everyone today?

Gave up with BB last night, DP started to snore but still refused to let me turn over (saddo!) so I went to bed. Lovely. DD was calling out in her sleep "get off me". It woke my brain up in that way that your body remains paralysed, but all I could think of was "Maddie". Am a bit paranoid and hormonal I think...

Have definately decided on 07.07.07 as this lo's birthday. Its perfectly reasonable (8 days late), so I hope she sees it like that

bumperlicious · 31/05/2007 09:34

Morning all, yes TA I slept like a log in a thunder storm !

Got woken up with really bad period pains which lasted for quite a few minutes, then eventually went - are they BH's?

Just been reading that name thread - v funny!

Did read vio's thread too - absolutely devastating. No ideas I'm afraid but will keep and ear out for what people are doing to help and do what I can.

annobal · 31/05/2007 09:38

I like your date Foxy - don't think you'd forget that in a hurry! Bumper, could be the start of labour possibly but could also be the way the baby is lying. BHs aren't normally really painful (uncomfortable and pita, yes).
