Caroline- took your title to follow on the horsey theme!!

No idea what I'm having. Wanted to find out but DH didn't and as it meant we'd have had to pay for a private scan we didn't bother.
What about you?

Morning all, seems there are tons of little bundles arriving now!

Huge congrats to Princess and Groveregg.

I wonder how the Kytes are this morning? Hopefully all sound asleep with a baby Kyte all snuggled up.

I slept like complete cr*p last night. Didn't realise you all had a party on here..would most definitely have logged on.

Decided to pounce on DH this morning and see if that moves anything..Now feel very uncomfortable with some strong BH! Still, it was worth it

All those that are Harry Potter'ing it today, ENJOY!

We've got copies ordered but our postie doesn't deliver until late morning - and dd1 gets first dibs, we promised her!! Still I have nothing to read atm so I am looking forward to it!

JennsterSlugSlayer · 21/07/2007 09:24

Our HP won't be delivered until later either. Am going to go for a walk though to see if I can get the contractions going again.

Does the nipple twiddling really work.

Spent yesterday sitting on the birth ball during Eastenders and Big Brother. When I got up to walk I really felt pressure in the pelvic region. As if he was slipping further down.
Ate a whole pineapple yesterday. My mouth was so sore and my lips started to bleed. Is that meant to happen.

Nothing is happening here tho.(apart from my typing is awful) Meant to be going to an Italian restaurant in a few days for DSD 13th birthday. Should be good.

It can work, typhoonsmum, but afaik you have to keep it up for hours and then when contractions do start they can be very strong - so I have never dared try it!! Also pineapple - you apparently need to eat half a dozen or more to have an effect

All makes us feel like we are doing something though, doesn't it??

JennsterSlugSlayer · 21/07/2007 09:40

Oh yes nipple tweaking flipping works. You've got to keep doing it though

Miaou · 21/07/2007 09:46

Hmm, I think the dds might look at me a bit oddly if I sat with my hands down my bra all day

My due date today!! Dh keeps looking at me expectantly . I feel like a bomb about to go off!!

typhoonsmum · 21/07/2007 09:47

Don't the nipples leak colostrum if you twiddle them.

HALF A DOZEN PINEAPPLES Forget that. My lips are killing me after one.

JennsterSlugSlayer · 21/07/2007 11:20

What kind of Bees make milk?

JennsterSlugSlayer · 21/07/2007 11:39

Well mine don't leak while I'm doing and I can express colostrum.

JennsterSlugSlayer · 21/07/2007 11:39

Is everybody reading Harry Potter?

typhoonsmum · 21/07/2007 11:55

i'm here. Just took DD to a swimming lesson.

I'd feel weird sitting watching tv twiddling my nipples.

JennsterSlugSlayer · 21/07/2007 11:59

Is it working. It shouldn't take long before you get cramps.

The answer is Boobies by the way. Oh getting a contraction. Wish they would hurry up and become regular.

typhoonsmum · 21/07/2007 12:14

Meant to be going out for DSD birthday later so I can't go into labour today. Or on Tuesday - her actual birthday. Might give it a go after her birthday.

typhoonsmum · 21/07/2007 12:15

It is very quiet today. I bet Harry Potter has alot to do with it.

Myfairone · 21/07/2007 12:21

The nipple twisting flipping hurts!

I feel weird today. Just feel soooo heavy in the pelvic region. Everytime I try and do something get very strong BH but nothing seems to be very regular! Just wish my waters would break so I would have a clear sign that something is happening.

My due date isnt until next Sunday but I really feel the need to make sure everything is up to date...I am currently looking at 5 of my DH's workshirts and trying to summon up the energy to iron them!

Typhoonsmum, don't think the pineapple is meant to make your mouth bleed! I have visuals of us all sitting on our balls, twiddling our nipples with bleeding mouths and covered in pineapple juice...how come its not like this in the movies?!?!?!?!?

Myfairone · 21/07/2007 12:24

Jennster - I just got your bee joke!

JennsterSlugSlayer · 21/07/2007 13:02

Just do the nipple thing gently! It's not meant to hurt your nipples! Am going for another walk.

Myfairone · 21/07/2007 13:09

Jennster - Walking is a real problem for me today. Just feel like its all 'hanging out'! Sorry if thats TMI!

Im quite happy bouncing on my ball for now!

Am just about to put dd down for a nap and start HP. There's nowt going on in my uterus today.

Myfairone · 21/07/2007 15:35

JAM - Sounds like a cunning plan that worked extremely well!

Jennster - Lets see if you can finish it in record time like JAM!

Well, I have niggly pains today. Lots of BH and some shooting type pains across my bump. I slept for a while and they are still there! Could this be the start of something she asks herself excitedly
