Hello everyone, I am very late joining this thread - 39 weeks tomorrow! Off to read through the thread now.

spugs · 15/03/2008 17:01

oh wow congratulations to all the new babies that have arrived making me very jealous, are people moving over to the post natal thread or are they hanging around here till weve all popped?

HolidaysQueen · 15/03/2008 17:57

Congratulations Timmy, Jayne and 3madboys (I assume you will be changing your name soon... )!!

I'm knitting, bouncing on my ball and trying not to feel jealous of all you new mums

Sorry computer blip!

Here is a question. To anyone at all, did anyone have the ability to actually squirt milk from the boob before giving birth ? I am worried that I did too much nipple stim and have gone past the colostrum stage . Sorry if too much info.

turtle23 · 15/03/2008 18:57

tori..didn't realise that could happen! (out of interest, how long are you pumping for daily? [worried emoticon])

Not been pumping, just tried that out twice. Manual iyswim for about 10mins each side per day

PurlyQueen · 15/03/2008 19:25

Wow - all these big, bouncing babies! Congratulations to all!
Nothing has come out of my boobs. I still can't believe that they will be producing milk.

turtle23 · 15/03/2008 19:28

tori..been doing 30 minutes some days and nothing really happens. Maybe as it's number two?

I think it must be a number 2 thing as it didn't happen last time. It was always just colostrum sort of leaky. I got quite a when it squirted! Maybe its just that your body 'remembers' what to do iyswim.

turtle23 · 15/03/2008 19:37

bearmama- Tori32 and I are due same day as you.

Hi Turtle and Tori! (waves) How are you doing?

I cant believe she will actually appear on the day, but I've got my bag packed!

Jaysthird · 15/03/2008 20:24

Will catch you all sooooooon

Hi Bearmama and welcome ! All good here. Have just been out for 'the last supper!' Having a very hormonal day and have burst into tears twice today over nothing . I think LO will not be too long now.

MarchNowFebMum · 16/03/2008 08:44

most of us are lurking on both, see post natal thread here and come over when you are ready! although it's not as busy as it is over here

CricketsMum · 16/03/2008 08:50

Morning all - Update from MissingMyHeels - Baby Matilda born at 6.55am today by emergency c section. 7lb 12oz. The girls are rallying!! Congratulations MMH!!!

turtle23 · 16/03/2008 09:11

Congratulations MMH ! Yes, the babies are coming thick and fast now!

HolidaysQueen · 16/03/2008 09:43

Congrats MMH! And I love the name Matilda! It is the name of my favourite great aunt and has been used quite a bit in my family so I think it is a fab name

monthlymayhem · 16/03/2008 09:56

Congrats MMH and 4Madboys

After spending an evening with a very collicky 3mth old nephew last night , DH and I are wondering if it's too late to change our minds...is there a returns policy??

turtle23 · 16/03/2008 10:32

Have just spent the morning redoing our wills to include appointing guardians for our child should we both die...help!! I am not really a grown-up, it's all a bit much!

e14mum · 16/03/2008 12:11

Second sweep last night. Started cramping right away and contractions all night. About every 10 min since about 5am, though slowing a bit lately. Yikes!!
Congrats MMH and 4MB... I want to join you soon!
