due in June - except for the lucky few who have already popped!!!

[derlor]

hello

Hello! I'm here but I am useless!
I don't know, I thought when the waters went it was usually more than a small amount? Does it smell? I heard that when they went they didn't smell at all.
Hopefully someone will come on that knows what they are talking about

No, no smell, that's how I know it wasn't wee!! I think it may be my hindwaters leaking, which is not serious, but could it all wait til tues please! I'll be 37 weeks then and can have my homebirth!

Holly - just nipped on to try & catch up - how're you doing? I think 'waters' should be a bit smelly but more pungent than wee. Sorry - a bit TMI but think we're all heading into that territory now....

Daisy - let us know how you're getting on - if you're not already sitting with a LO by now...

By the way, Derlor - PMSL at 'totally bogging' - made an expat weegie feel quite homesick. By the way, a friend of my sister's used to work with the down & out's behind the old Apollo theatre in Glasgow (long since knocked down) & apparently you knew they were in serious condition when they moved from the likes of Buckie to WINDOLENE as their beverage of choice... Makes Gaviscon sound almost appealing....

Ok, can we just clarify things, is anyone having their baby at the moment?!

No text from daisy so far. Holly, I really hope you mange to hang on for a few days. Surely a couple of days really doesn't make much of a difference?

Derlor, glad things are more comfy now.

Sputnik, if you mention straciatella on here again I can't be responsible for my actions! I love Italian ice cream so much! If I lived there I would be the size of a house and straciatella is one of my favourites. I went and got FOUR pieces of tiffin yesterday!

Phew, have just spoken to lulumama and she says to just wait and see if anything else happens. So I am not going to hosp just yet! Hopefully any more action will wait until tues!

Lilkel just text me and everything is fine! She is totally in love and the cs went well!

Might just go back to bed now!

No bumper, I don't think anyone is in labour atm, but you can never be sure! Luckily I am not! I think daisy was just having bad BHs last night, hopefully she got some rest!

Holly - daft question, but what are hindwaters? And how do you know the difference?

I wasn't in labour, I just needed a poo. I know where Derlor was coming from.

I have to say I have taken offence at the thread title. I am not waiting to 'pop': I am not a fucking balloon!

I am. In fact I am a blimp.

It's obviously just a personal thing: I really HATE that expression.

God I'm grumpy this morning. And it's not because I'm suffering so much from being pregnant I'm just grumpy because I AM ALRIGHT?

ok then. Grumpy is fine, as long as we know in advance

I am not grumpy, I am miserable. DH left for work at 4am (as you do), I am ill, I am bored, lonely, tired and down in the dumps.

Why are you grumpy?

probably cos I've run out of crack...off down coldharbour lane with my tenner

That would explain it. Can you please grab 1/8th grass for me? I'll owe you.

Just think - if I was a balloon I would be weightless. That is appealing!

Holly - wear a pad in case you leak anymore, MWs have a stick thing they use to check fluid that goes black if it's waters.

The man I mentioned wasn't Kryton either - it was the one who presents scrapheap challenge (or some similar programme).

Goals for today:-

1. Not throw up breakfast 2)not lose temper with children 3)not murder children when I do inevitably lose temper
2. shop for dessert ingredients (thanks for recipes...might ask DH to make ice cream as have headache - the shopping part would be enough of a contribution!)

Hope daisy ok.

Will chack in later on the baby situation.

Sure - skunk or commercial?

Actually probably partly because child is being SOOOO demanding - seems like the more time I spend with her the more she wants EVERY SECOND of my attention from the moment she wakes up. Still - I've heard it's pretty normal for first child to get a bit clingier than usual when you're expecting another one...am now practising patience.

And the thought of going on a drugs run has really cheered me up for some reason - even if it is a fantasy one.

(actually I've never tried crack - is it all it's CRACKED UP to be?)

I am a bit dull and have never tried crack or anything either.

I did a 'happy shake' in Laos once though that left me tripping and not really compus mentis for 4 days and thinking that dh was trying to kill me and I was really thirsty, which has sort of steered me away being more adventurous.

Besides, too many broken celebrity noses have put me off. I kind of like mine as is.

Oh - I think I've tried pretty much everything else in the dim and distant past...just steered away from crack, heroin and angel dust ;)

DS2 yelling already. Am beginning to see the appeal of vodka on your conrnflakes...

Ria how about a 'brain hemorrhage' - polish vodka, raspberry puree and tabasco? Two of your five a day...

Morning...still here
Manged to get some sleep.....still getting the odd contraction and they seem quite persistent, but no real pain as such and nothing like last night in regularity.
Think this LO is determined to keep me guessing...probably for weeks yet, but one thing I'm determined about...she ain't coming out this weekend!!!

How's things HandA? Still with us?

This is gonna get exciting soon isn't it?

OOps BZ...its enough that we upset everyone else, without alienating one of our own ....It'll be gone in a couple of days at this rate!
