nickelbabe is resigned to never giving birth

[nickelbabe]

there.
part 2 of the "not-live-birth-thread"

How come I can conceive and carry through a pregnancy but I can't finish one?

No posting until the original thread has ended.
first thread

I am now officially 40+10.

Ackterlee I think you'll find it's called a barm cake

And the big floury one is called an oven bottom muffin

Begone with your talk of baps.

Oooh a stitch twinge. I have had those before. Time it...

I am with Capn in the interference scale. Best avoided if possible but you have to just go with it when it become necessary. I have been every rung on the bloody ladder and the only advice i can give is an open mind.

You know your body better than anyone too, don't be rail roaded. Beat them back

Besides, like Capn say's she has SEEN the birth and it is lovely. The stitch like pain is the start of it.

You need something like a jacket potato and salad with protein for tea. To set you up for the birth later.

O/T but your dinners always sound so appetising. I get hungry reading what you're having/have had to eat.

Any twinges are progress, fingers crossed more follow!

Keep eating Nickel - you need to keep your labouring strength up!!

I'm back and you've gone! Bugger I bet wrong

nothing planned is good, baby inducing good!

whale music and a dark room...

think positive, keep telling/convincing yourself positive things about how perfectly positioned baby is and how you're going to do it all by yourself, maybe a whiff of G&A?

I've got consutant in the morning and feeling very grumpy. Had thought it would come by now :(

Well i've been que jumped again today by a friend who was due the day after me . Having been up since 3am i'm now too tired to give birth although the Mw on call tonight seems very lovely and the house is all tidy perhaps the baby is waiting for the Christmas tree to go up?

Any later than Sunday and they won't let me have a home birth, so fed up. The pool is mocking me downstairs, i think i'm going to fill it up tonight and wallow in it and self pity.

Nickel are you planning on hypnobirthing or just doing it all alone? I need to actually write my birthplan that would be a start.

Hope your twinge comes to something, have been lurking for ages and you totally have my sympathies.

DS2 came on the day I was going in to get induced and I think it was the fear of that that made him 'pop'. Maybe Thursday will be the day, I do hope so for you (and all the other overdue ladies on thread)

Fourthousand - i know where you coem from now.

cobs are cobs are cobs.
my thread, my rules. so [nur]

How about a 'bread roll'?

NICKEL you must agree to be induced. SFU has reminded me that so many babies come on the day they are meant to be induced - ie naturally - so maybe you need to book it??

I've got to ring Medway in the morning to tell them I'm not being induced.
not actually looking forward to that.

youtalkin - i was queue-jumped too - Assistant's Stepfather's sister was due on 27th and gave birth on the 29th.

youtalkin (again) Capn sent me a cd to listen to, which is lovely, but I'm not sure how muc huse I'll get out of it. I will try to go with the flow as much as possible. I haven't written an actual birth plan, but i have printed out that "if i go over any more" plan that I posted earlier.

the Tens machine that CuriosityCola lent me is very weird (it's a lot stronger than the one that we got from DH's mum) - i used it a bit last night when I had back ache and it worked really well.

We went to sainsbugs in order to get pizza- they had the posh bases in the reduced cabinet, so we picked up 2 packs.
then we saw that they were doing a "takeaway" dinner for 4 for £10, which is quite bargainous, so we picked those up.
accidentally, it happens to be a curry. and even more accidentally (i didn't notice till i got home!) the veggie one is really hot.
Just hearing DH take them out of the oven now, so will be back later.
(i'm staaaaarving)

cobs are only to do with corn or talked about by people from strange places.

I find no one knows what -

a cake from the fish shop is
a bap is (and no, it is not a boob )
a corflick.

Why I married a Southerner I don't know.

Have you tried clary sage? I'm adding some to my bath tonight as my sprog behaved and didn't appear during DS's nativity. It's a very strong smell and apparently can bring on/strengthen contractions...

can only book it to the day FAB - they don't book the time until you ring in the morning of the day.
so it was a decision that had to be made in advance (shop cover not happening you see)

And does cob/bap etc = breadcake?

nickelbabe - I give you 'bun'. How about bun?

So you can book the day in advance and then ring that morning to confirm and find out the time?

It's true i gave in a long battle and finally agreed to be induced ds was born the next day. Have agreed 14 days this time i know myself i can't do any longer they've agreed to let me just have my waters broken and the up to 6 hours to get going on my own which is what usually happens and then if baby is happy they'll let me in the pool, i'm quite pleased about this, thought i'd have to argue with them but no, makes a change.

I had a sainsbos veggie curry last night and nada although without getting to excited my braxton hicks are really ramping up this is normal 2-3 day before I give birth behaviour although not painful at all. I'm using the Maggie Howell Cd, used it last time and it was great for relaxation although i still felt it.

choc i smell permanently of clary sage, it's done nothing except turn DH off.

buns are sweet.
I think they're also American (as in Burger bun)

that's right FAB
I had to book the day when I went for my last MW appt.
I think i'd pretty much already decided then that I wasn't going to do it.

Correlation isn't causation.

the curry i had was so hot I've burnt my lips.
ow ow ow ow
It tasted very nice though.

ooh, BH.... I had those last week, though

what the fuck is a breadcake?
how can it be a cake if it's bread?
is it like Stollen?

shit, i didn't put "don't you dare break my waters" on my list.
