OK quickupdate - waters have gone. Phoned hossie, they want me up for assesment, then they'll send me home. More later I expect.

I love good timekeeping me

ooh, how exciting!

EEEeeeeekkk for Cunty - good luck matey!

whoah! A due date baybee?! Good luck cunty. Waters gone could very much equal quick labour. I hope so, hope it all goes to plan. Can't wait for news!

Oh my stars! Go cunty!

Good luck Cuntalicious!

YAYYYYYYYYYY CUNTY!!! Wishing you all the luck in the world!!!

Oh yay for Cunty! Baby here we come.

Go Cunty! Try to keep your birthing cough nice and feminine So excited for you xx (sneaking in a few smackers whilst you're too busy to complain)!

Home again after assessment. Defo waters gone, continuing to leak like a bastard. Am soaked

Contracting every 7 mins or so, but nothing to write home about. Have to stop moving though. Just about to jump in bath, then rig up TENS machine. Got to be back in and birthed within 18 hours or else I'm on IV antibiotics and I'll have to stay in for a couple of nights afterwards. So it's contre la montre ladies - send me speedy vibes

Ha ha, yes hope you've packed everything for your baybee minibreak ;)

Was going to go to bed. Can't now can I?!!!

x post!

Oh gawd... better off in the bath than over your carpets you poor love!!

God how exciting. Get running up and down those stairs woman and get that baybee moving!

read somewhere on some hypnobirthing site, that blowing out like raspberries on your lips makes your cervix open. Sounds like shit to me, but worth a punt.

Go baby!

Trust cunty... no-one gets their baybee on due date. She is just so contrary. good luck Cunty, wishing you a gentle and calm birth. Or should I say gentle cough followed by BabyTuesday arriving wrapped in fluffy white towel. Xx. Squeeee! I'm too excited to sleep now!

Wow! Good luck cunty

Hope it don't smart too much

xx

hope silence means all is well under way or over Cunty, or that you are at least getting some kip. Sending strong pushing and calm breathing vibes as I pump.

BTW peshs, my contractions, or tightenings or pains as the MWs call them, never did get regular. Even when i was 7cm, they were 4, 2, and even 15 mins apart. If you get that, please to make most of the long rests- a partic good time to have a pee.

Oh, and never underestimate the power of a jug of warm water when peeing post partum.

Should be discharged this morning. Which means getting home etc will prevent a good CuntyWatch. Please to have news by 10am?

Cunteeeeeeeeee! Best of British, dear girl . Hope all goes to plan and that the doula is helpful.

Go Tuesday!!!!!!!!!

Baby Tuesday will be born on a Tuesday. Perfick.

How on earth and I supposed to work today now?

On another brighter note woke up to a rainbow as it's rained in the night and it's a bit cooler.

Just realises that before October I am going rinsed to stock up on dog food And neddy supplies. I iz going to have go get a mega list on the go.

ski what's happened to your early morning posts don't tell me you are now enjoying lie ins now you are on your ML?

Ps what are your thoughts on second hand Moses baskets and shiz?

Only fing I know is you must have brand new mattress.

Enlighten me with your wisdom PESHes.

Go cunty, Go cunty!

honey A friend gave me her bouncer - she said the first one she bought had non-removable bits and cute plastic toys which jiggled and moved. And promptly got covered in baby sick. The second she bought (gave to me) has a 100% removable, washable cover. Let's learn from the experienced! I'm very pleased to hear about little moo in the bedroom btw - ours really do seem happiest there although I think we must be crackers right now in this heat. PS - LOL @ "sounds like shit to me, but worth a punt"!

salty I had my dating scan at 10 weeks (9+6) due to xmas hols - I had it done on 23rd December - I think it was just when I could be fit in. I didn't even think to worry about age connotations.

curly Thank you so much for your tales - especially the dog introduction stuff!

silver Why not 2nd hand? On the other hand, if it's a financial thing - John Lewis do one for 29 quid. I did not do my early mornings because I had a bit of a bad day yesterday. It's too hot here and will be mid-30s by the end of the week. I've figured out why preggos eat so much ice-cream, it's because they spend all their time in the supermarket with the freezer doors open and one thing leads to another.

fanny Thank you, I think your advice was spot on. I shan't be as dismissive as I usually am - but I'm not going to go soft & soppy.

To the person who asked how often I see her - I think it's been 4 times in the last 10 years.

ski am finking that for first baybee it's nice to have new stuff .

go cunty PUUUUUUSSSSSHHHHHH!

silver I have two Stubben saddles. One cost me 1450 euros, the other cost me 300 euros and was second hand. Guess what? They're both bloody brilliant saddles. If you can get a big ticket item for cheap why the hell not? Cossie is a big fan of the bargain theorem for shopping - if you ask nicely she might show you her 99p maternity jeans!

How are you cossie? I think you ought to do a post about all the stuff you learned at your breast-feeding class the other week because when I was reading here yesterday I was thinking "oooh I know this, cossie told me this". (e.g., stomach sizes)

All - what sex do we think cunty's baby is? I think she's going to have a riot grrl!

Ooh much excitement!!!! cunty in labour!!!! Yay!!! Am going to keep checking back for news

ski I too have has breastfeeding class from nct, is v. good info. But I also haz one hour breastfeeding session with a lactation consultant booked for next week, which should also be good (is part of my package). I like the bit about tits smelling of amniotic fluid so that the baybee knows where to head for after birth... And also that they think the step reflex would be to allow the baybee to scramble up your body to the food if they had to...

I fink boy for cunty.

re 2nd hand moses basket, the one we are using was the one I had as a baybee, 2nd hand enough for ya?? [grin} cot was 2nd hand too (ebay)

ski I will put together somefink.
