SatHereSitting · 02/04/2009 13:48

Hi, how do I put myself back on the list? I've been removed I haven't been on here for ages because it moves so fast. Feels strange not to be on there anymore (but realise it's my fault)

PuzzleRocks · 02/04/2009 13:48

Mathsmummy. I don't have any my own. Did you make those up?

PuzzleRocks · 02/04/2009 13:50

Hi SatHereStting. Give me your date and I will add you back on. Good to hear from you.

SatHereSitting · 02/04/2009 13:52

Thanks puzzlerocks I was hoping you would say that (complete computer dimwit ). Due date is 28th. Hope everyone is well

PuzzleRocks · 02/04/2009 13:53

BB - I'm glad you had a good experience at the hospital.
I love the idea that the whole Bolat family were plugging holes yesterday.
Your DH is so lovely saying that about us. And wise too.

SpringySponge · 02/04/2009 13:54

Cheers, Nutty

& SHS, just jump in as & when you can - don't worry about keeping up with us

No probs. Do you know what you are having?

Springy - I don't mean to laugh (well, I do actually) but your undignified loo story made my sides ache.

SatHereSitting · 02/04/2009 14:00

Thankyou so much, that has made me really happy again for some reason . I'm having a boy and I'm currently playing him baby Mozart through headphones while watching Jeremy Kyle not sure if the two things are compatable

PuzzleRocks · 02/04/2009 14:00

Am I the only one whose own date and scan date are the same?

Question ladies: Where can I get an oversized (preferably) brushed cotton button down shirt for the labour? I don't know any 7ft tall lumberjacks I can borrow from and I don't want to spend a fortune.

SpringySponge · 02/04/2009 14:01

It really was quite something, Puzzle.

Reallytired · 02/04/2009 14:05

Can I go on the list? my bump is due 25th April.

Juwesm · 02/04/2009 14:06

She's not allowed to do any hole plugging now!

PuzzleRocks · 02/04/2009 14:09

I'll put you on shortly ReallyTired. How are you?

PuzzleRocks · 02/04/2009 14:10

SatHereSitting - It's good to appreciate culture from opposite ends of the spectrum.

Reallytired · 02/04/2009 14:12

I'm fine. I am nearly 37 weeks and looking forward to bumper (as my son calls my bump) being born. My SPD is feeling a lot better as I have got a support belt which is working nicely.

I just need to think about packing a birth bag incase my homebirth goes pear shaped. I am taking a bit of a risk as my son came at 37 weeks.

Is there anyone else who hasn't yet packed a birth bag?

PuzzleRocks · 02/04/2009 14:13

ReallyTired -

I haven't packed one. I'm also having a home birth but I know I should have one just in case. I don't know why I keep putting it off. I suppose I refuse to believe this won't go according to plan.
Another one with the wretched SPD? You have my sympathies. It has given a few of our April ladies a really tough time.

Juwesm · 02/04/2009 14:18

Reallytired - I'm 40+1 and my bag isn't packed! Also planning HB like you, but have been trying to do bag 'just-in-case'. The stuff is sort of ready to be packed, just can't seem to get it to go in there!

Juwesm · 02/04/2009 14:18

Have we got a list of HB-ers? Seems to be loads of us!

PuzzleRocks · 02/04/2009 14:20

[trots off to compile HB'ers list]

Reallytired · 02/04/2009 14:21

I have washed the baby clothes, but somehow I just don't have the get up and go to finish packing.

I really ought to pack a bag for my son I suppose, especially as I am not too keen having him at the birth. He wants to pack all kinds of useless things like half his lego. Ofcourse he does not need a towel or a tooth brush or pyjamas or clothes.

Schulte · 02/04/2009 14:23

Good afternoon

I can't be arsed and am therefore not doing any of the allegedly labour inducing things this time round. No curries, no pineapple, no sex, no RLT. I'll just sit on my fat bottom and wait and see I bet it won't make a difference anyway!
