Been reading through the posts & just to say to NEM that it´s normal that lo moves less & less as there is next to no room for them to move around in I´m in exactly the same position & unless there are no movements at all in a 24 hr period don´t panic. HTH

Wow

Just catching up and I'm sure TA and I were booked into the same hospital and we had our girls on the same day. Maybe if I'd met anyone else I'd have seen her!

Scorpio is next.
Millie has decided to make an arrival, hopefully she'll have a quick labour and be ehre soon.

is scorpio in labour then??

Cxx

Apparently yes, she texted squonk, see here

Fucking Ace!!!

YAY - you go Scorpio!!!! Is she having a hmoe birth?

Go scorpio- thinking of you but you know, baby needs to be here pretty sharpish if you're gonna be quicker than my birth

Hope all's well XX

My phone is on charge now in case I miss any mroe texts- they seem to be starting up again!

PFJ, if it does all get a bit much you do have my phone number- have done some BF training and didn't find it all easy with ds1 and ds2 so can just listen if thats what needed .

What baby needs most is a happy mummy who can give him love and attention, if that is combined with BF then great but if it can't be- c'est la vie. There's plenty more ways you can be a great Mummy.

VS he's gorgeous

Thanks for tip off Peachy.

Have also added self to list

Congratulations TA

Goodluck scorpio, hope all going well and news to follow v v soon.

VS - yeah to after pains getting easier (def worse with each one, MW did say worse after sections as well, I presume coz of the great gash through the uterus). Should feel so much more comfortable once stiches out on Sun. I had staples this time (prev had running stiches) and could feel little pin prick sensations if fully streched or squashed, think it was a ploy to make me sit and do v little for a few days

Peachy keep meaning to ask what does the fennel tea do?

paranoid mummy, baby boy, 8lbs 9oz, born yesterday

Oh I do hope PM got her VBAC, ask her Peachy!

Denny I meant to say when I spoke to the mw earlier she said after a CS your uterus contracts back slower and it's harder which is why it hurts more for a cs

Its like a tube of pringles

Def not great are they, I found the old co-codamol a gods send those first few days.

Congrats paranoid hope your all ok.

Congratulations to VS and PM! VS, wow, he's gorgeous.

FOR THE ATTENTION OF PFJ

The silly easter bunny has dropped something off at my house by mistake. Apparently she had a couple of bags of mini eggs left over, and had heard you were feeling a bit fed up with things and thought they might cheer you up seeing as your shop has run out. So can you email your address to me at [email protected] and I'll pass them on to you

I've had my first full day on my own with George today after DH's 2 weeks paternity leave and 2 weeks of my parents coming to help, and it's been lovely. Except the internet's been down all day which has been annoying.

Glad it went ok Knitter, I ve got my first day next Wed, not looking forward to it even though have been doing breakfast/wash/dress/hair/school run and been getting there on time its still nice to know I could wake him up if needed (hes been doing the first part of the night while I sleep in case your wondering why hes still in bed). Still will just have to get on with it, need to start getting back out to toddler groups as well at some stage as poor DS is getting a bit bored, were off to friends for coffee Mon am so hell have some play mates then but just a bit to BF out at the mo as still a 2 handed job to get her to latch on properly, still it will come im sure.

On a note DH had his cons appointment today to get his vasectomy, only waiting 1 week and they phoned with a cancellation, lets hope the op comes round just as quickly, really dont think Id cope with 4 (hats off peachy and chipmonkey)

DP has been back at work since this yesterday, he only had two full days off, he has had half days for the last three weeks though so I've had him home loads.
Back to school monday but he drops DD off and either him or his mum will be picking her up so won't have to do too much thankfully.

VS, he's beautiful! and HUGE! Hope all the pain is getting better.

GO SCORPIO GO! I just got a bit teary about the thought of her at home in Cornwall giving birth! Expecting her to post tonight... is that a bit ambitious?

Big congrats ParanoidMummy - will have to keep checking the thread (as if I don't usually ) as we're owed so many birth stories now!

Nothing to report here - dreamt was having the baby today all last night and woke up convinced this was it, but nothing. Now have to hold off for tomorrow as it's DD's real birthday! Have had niggly pains all day and I do definitely feel that it's closer, but is that really saying anything beyond the fact that time is passing?

hes had to go back so quickly, is it ok with looking after DS and LO? Think thats what Im going to struggle with the most, entertaining DS whilst DD2 feeds for so long - theres only so long you can keep him amused with toys on the floor B4 he wants to get on my lap as well.

Bath is nearly run and then bed is calling so will say goodnight and catch up again soon.

x-post scamp - you could have 2 with the same b-day then, could save on party bills in the future.

I am nervous about that too, Denny - it was so hard looking after her today (think she's a bit poorly, was grizzling all day and only wanted to sit on my lap and be read stories - why is it that they talk ALL THE TIME except to tell you what is wrong?) and I haven't even had the baby! YIKES.

I won't really cross my legs to stop the baby coming out tomorrow. Having wanted to be in labour all day, I'm now hoping not to have a contraction as I'm too tired and fancy a good night's sleep.

Wow VS - I thought I might manage the thread record for biggest baby (and he had a 38cm head) but you've only gone and put me to shame! Congratulations to you - and all the other new arrivals.

Keep meaning to post some pics, will get round to it soon. Just popping on to see how many more babies have come...

Congratulations, paranoidmummy and ToastAddict!!
VS, Alex is gorgeous, he has a lovely round head!
Peachy, just wondering if I have SPD? I feel like I have been doing a thousand inner thigh exercises, have difficulty lifting my legs e.g getting into the car or on the stairs and it's worse if I've been sitting down? I did ask my obs about it last week and he said something about softening ligaments but isn't that what SPD is?
