I'm here!
6 days overdue.
Just had a lovely cry for no reason!

nitnat84 · 19/09/2009 20:01

Snowfalls- I so feel like that! I am still convinced baby is not even fully engaged. So depressing. I am 5 days overdue. Just feel so low now

Snowfalls108 · 19/09/2009 20:13

Nitnat - get yourself some ice cream! I'm just about to tuck into a tub of Hagan Daz and feeling better already.

Yum! I may indulge in a Double Decker chocolate bar No ice cream in the house!
I will sit on my ball and scoff choco

Minshu · 19/09/2009 21:07

Oh yes - I did buy some chocolate the other day, didn't I? One each of G&B dark, cherry and butterscotch Wouldn't mind a large glass of red to go with it, but will have to make do with milk, instead

Thusnelda · 19/09/2009 21:12

Hmm, no chocolate for me tonight but I have just had the most delicious home made 'Indian style' dinner including home-grown chillies!

Last time I had more than about half a glass of wine, the baby was really quiet the next day, so I'm a little paranoid about the effect it has on her (although that was quite a while ago now).

I know what you mean about planning. I've no idea what to do next week - I'll go bonkers if I spend the entire week pottering about the house, especially Tuesday - the big day!!

Gonnabamumma · 19/09/2009 21:41

Hi lady friends, I am BORED!!!!!!!!!!! I have cleaned all day, walked the dog, done some gardening, 3 loads of washing, bounced on my swiss ball till my knees creaked and still sweet FA happening - arrrrghghghghhghghghhghh!

Sorry for the rant , just feel trapped on the house and can't see the end in sight.

Sending you all labour vibes xxx

Thusnelda · 19/09/2009 21:41

Minshu, I had that too: drank a small white wine spritzer and a glass of Prosecco (several hours apart) - and the next day the baby was pretty quiet - hung over? I did feel bad about it but I so needed it at the time! I had had some sort of hysterical anger fit at the bookshop and called my boyfriend while I was crying and chucking books into the corner of the store room. It was a Friday afternoon so he took the rest of the day off and rushed over to force me to do the same and a lovely afternoon was spent on the Riverside Studios terrace...

Congratulations TrixieB and AprilMeadow

So sorry for lack of update - i did mean to ask oooggs in the text to update you, but i was tired April is home, has spent the afternoon asleep and being cuddled by her grandparents and is now making up for it with a feedathon!
AM - very of the 4 hour turnaround! thought it had to be a minimum of 6! Also they say if you've had a straightforward delivery and you ~& baby both fine you can be discharged in 6 - well I've had that twice now and no joy! Had 6 hours of sitting on the bed waiting to be discharged togeay
