Present for Merryberry

better post so then i have it in the 'threads i am on bit'

good luck merryberry xxxxxxx sending labour vibes xxxxxx

not that i seem very good at going into labour myself

Oh ta turtle. Just checking phone posts now...

Merry - very very very good luck with everything and anything that happens between now and you getting your baby! I am right behind you on the induction front, mines in for Thursday so rs to go into labor...i have approx 36 hours till D-Day, i cant see it happening.

Yours and mine end of pregnancy stories are so similar its crazy. Heres hoping all goes smoothly for you {{{{hugs and vibes}}}}

Good luck MB! Here's hoping labour beats induction to the post.

Possible sweep option tomorrow if MW exams and thinks it's a go. Hope it's favourable - had some bone fide Cramping with a capital "C" wake me up last night and thought "woo hoo!" only for it to disappear in the morning. Reflex this afternoon and hope DH will indulge in three minutes in paradise tonight. Seemed to work last night, anyway!

HQ so very sorry about your DH's nan. My Grandma is 97 and even at that age I know I will be devastated when she goes. I hope that the universe gets the message and she and your LO meet in person, or at the very least in spirit. Take care of yourself.

HQ really sorry to hear about DH's nan. Really unfair.{{hugs}}

MOBTK really sorry about your extension being rejected, its a real PITA for you and I know how much you had your heart set on it. Can't believe they are saying you would need to go to Poole with a BP of 120/? but still not really high compared to your normal for you. Sending lots of relaxation vibes and lemon meringue pie

Come on MB crack on with delivery and put us out of our misery we have waited long enough!!

Good luck to all booked for induction and the sooty and sweep shows. I am having a couple of BH at last

Will beat march mum text bud to this. Cant wait to tell. George Linden born 0203 12.3.8 at home in water. Now at uch for
Check up following brilliantly managed shoulder distocia. Because...sit down, breathe, cross your legs. He weighs 11lb 11oz. 4 hour labour, totally in water and half can gas and air. Water just amazing.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Holy s**t! congrats and...oh my god! Suddenly very pleased that I'm having a water birth..oh dear god...ow...

congrats, merryberry

Bloody good size!

lovely name.

Merry...know I've only met you briefly, but have to tell you how VERY proud of you I am!! Not only did you survive the longest pre-labour ever, but you managed to stay home and get what you wanted despite giving birth to a 6 month old baby!! Hurrah! (oops, just woken up DH with my whooping)

Merrrrrry Merrrry Merrrry!!!!!! WOWWWWEEE

huge congratulations on the birth of George!!! and when i say huge i mean it! Well done you, you beat the induction master!

Its so strange, we have had such similar end of pregnancy tales, what with all the stopping and starting then you go and have EXACTLY the same birth as i had with DS he was only 11lb 2 though - but i had him in water and he had shoulder dystocia!! -

Hope you get some rest today my love - and welcome to the world big man! xx

11lb 11

congrats Merry. Would never had expected it too happen that quickly after all that buggering about beforehand!

Oh my dear sweet jesus, MB! You definitely get the gold medal, no, make that platinum!

No wonder he didn't want to come out - he was happily tucked up inside stuffing his face!

Well done to you - what a great birth experience. Another water baby giving me hope!

Welcome "little" George!

Merry - Congratulations - fantastic news!! And good on him for putting in an appearance at the 11th hour!

You are an inspiration - 11lb 11 and only gas and air?!

Well done Merry! See... it's the fear of induction... flies them out! Well done.

PS - Surely this must be the start of a veritable avalanche of babies?? MMH, JFly, JayneF, FN41, Jaysthird and everyone else that is overdue... c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!!!!

PPS - oh, and you Turtle, even though you're not overdue yet, you deserve to go early after how many weeks of late-pg hell??

just popping on briefly to congratulate all those who've popped- i think i have missed a few threads in the last three weeks!

merry- congrats but wincing at the thought !!!!

millie has been quite poorly leading to a stay at alder hey childrens hospital- liver probs causing dangerous jaundice- but she's back on track now and making up for lost time!!!

will catch up on all the news when i've got more time!

hi i was wondering if i can join your thread? I'm on the may thread but with high blood pressure and have section booked for 20th march (ds was born at 32 with severe pre eclampsia), so i'll be a march mummy at 33+6!

congrats to everyone that has popped already and hope all ok.

Flick-Welcome to the zoo!
Cricketsmum- awww, thanks. I do very much like the look of "the other side."

HOORAY Merry!

And ouch....my eyes are watering...no wonder your pre labour went on forever!

You have a serious MN addiction to be posting so soon after he was born

congratulations mr and mrs Merry xx

yay merry berry and little i mean big george! and double yay for water! so happy for you. love the middle name as well.

was just about to post and she beat me to it - very impressive!

just wanting to say sorry you are still waiting Jaysthird, and good luck for when you do "pop"

and best wishes to all you others too

Yeah merryberry! Welcome to George! A great start to my late start to the day! Here's hoping all the rest of the babies will get the message and make their way down now...
preggers, thanks for the update on the twins- glad Millie is doing better now.

Blimey!! Congrats Merryberry, that's fantastic (and eye-watering!) . All of these positive water birth stories are giving me a bit more confidence!!

Welcome Flick, and glad to hear Millie is getting better Preggersagain
