Due April 2009 - Chapter 24: Pulling the Plug on the April babies!!!

[BabyBolat]

Here we go again....

Perhaps Scotland's climate would suit DS better (although possibly not DH's career?)

As for babies, reckon Springy is shagging her DH rotten to move things along.

Boff - thanks for the words of wisdom re BP! Hugs to you for your hubby's though... from what Ju says it sounds like he's getting OK treatment, and if anyone can sort out the NHS It's BoffinMum and BoffinDad...

Springy - Yippee for dilation and happy cervices!!! Well done darlin - keep it up!

BB - > for no labour signs yet... keep at that tea and bouncing on the ball, you're still in with a shot!

Everyone else - hope you're having a fab day!!

I've been chilling in bed watching sexy James Bond movies all day, and my BP is now at 108/75. Let's keep it that way for tomorrow and I'll be a happy homebirther...

Hi There

There you go towny06 - look you've even got a whole due date all to yourself!

As you can see there have been a few Apr babies born already and it looks like we may have more by the end of the week....

Got to go - bathtime

back later

Welcome Towny (you don't know what you've let yourself in for.....)!!

hey Towny - how you feeling? any signs yet - lots of us are on our first too - tis very daunting! Glad you found us - am warning you tho - we like to chat!!!

Thank you! We are having a boy. I am not feeling too bad actually, but starting to get pre-birth jitters!

Oh cool - glad you are feeling ok - how have you found the pregnancy so far!

Hello
Lulu, I would not put up with that cat. You are a saint.
Auld - thinking positively for you. Something will come up.
Boff - sorry about the DH BP - I am sure they will soon get it under control.

I want a pg massage table at home! It has a hueg dent for lo and even dents for hueg pg norks. When you lie on your tummy it is such a relief to have your spine in a straight line it is a transporting experience even before they touch you.

all systems go for HB.

No signs yet, but really wanting something to happen soon. The waiting is so hard! No problems in pregnancy so far - only a few days of morning sickness and a few headaches. I have been rather lucky! I am booked into the Royal Free in London as it is only 2 mins from us. Is there anyone else going there?

welcome Towny - get ready to reveal all - nothing too personal!

Auld - huge ((hugs)) hopefuly something will come up for you soon > xxx

Towny06 -Welcome would you like to join our buddy system?? details at the start of the thread (i think?)

Kitty - yay for lower BP!!

Juw - love the cervix welding

where have you all gone???

Woah, Nutty, you scared everyone away!

Did you have a nice nap?

Evening all

I have been beavering again as I have my midwife coming round for the homebirth H&S assessment tomorrow.

Springy - Sounds like progress to me. You go lady!

Surprise - Hooray for good appointment. Don't worry too much about your baby being a whopper. They are not always right about the size.

Lulu - I shouldn't . The last two times I have been to the hairdressers I forgot my credit card. They were great about it both times. I also had to call up when I got home and explain that I had left my tip for someone who hadn't even done my hair. My poor colourist must have thought I was a right bitch at the time, giving her tip to someone who hadn't been near me.

Boff - I feel rather redundant. Great that we have Ju, eh? Can I just send you a most unMumsnet hug. Hopefully things will greatly improve healthwise for both you and DH when the baby arrives

I'm still here Nutty! I'm busy plotting a line chart showing my BP readings from the past two days to show the MW when she comes to visit tomorrow... they haven't given me a time (and I won't get stressed out about it!! no I won't!!) so I'll be meditating in a state of calm all day, methinks...

Juw - yep lovely nap thanks

Kitty - thats right calm thoughts ..... on a nice sandy beach lazing on a sunlounger being brought cocktails

Puzzle - you have a beaver addiction!!

Puzzle - do you know what they're going to do tomorrow? Do let us know what kind of questions they ask. My MW just gave me a list of stuff to provide, but they don't check up or anything. They'll just turn up at the appropriate time and hope everything is ready. To be fair, I suppose everything actually needed comes with them, all the stuff at my end () is really to make my life easier and more fool me if I'm not ready!

Juw - do you have a lot of stuff then ...you know ....at your end

Bleu - God bless that lady colleague.

Lulu - Love that image of your DD and her honeypot.

Towny06 - Welcome to the gang.

for Puzzle

God I was worried about typing that particular search into Google!
