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.

Are you being very active Nickel? I've spent the afternoon on the sofa , and feel guilty because I think I should be running up and down the stairs or going out for a long hike .

Well if you're going to reject perfectly sound suggestions I'm afraid you will indeed have to stay pg FOR EVER

Or you could try going for a bracing 6 mile walk?

What's your Christmas name, Nickelbabe? I can only think of SaintNickelbabe.

The sun sets on another day of pregnancy.......

Aww nicklebabe (and others)

I have amused myself this afternoon by re-reading old threads from way back in the day when I went overdue (+9) with my most recent one, who is now 2.2.

I had forgotten exactly how irritating I must have been, but it was lovely to see all the messages of support again. Am thinking of printing a couple of the threads off :)

I don't have time to relax and do nothing.
If i think i've got a few spare moments, i get a customer who wants me to show them where something is (so I pop out from behind the till and they start their barrage of when's the baby due interrogations )

I'm too tired to do 6 mile walks - the walk to work is enough!

It's the WI carol service tomorrow - I was planning to have the baby with me, because I can't close the shop until I get my cover, which can't come until the baby comes.
That means I have to close the shop to go to the carol service, otherwise I can't go (i'm supposed to be in the choir)
It'll only be about an hour.

it's nickeltownofBethlehem

And a chippinginapeartree.....

i tried SaintNickelas one year, and no one worked otu it was me.
it was quite upsetting really. :(

oh, i do like ChippingInAPearTree!!
that's brilliant!
inspired!
well done Mum

Nickel been following your epic saga

DD arrived last year 40+6, I booked a massage for the following day, spent the afternoon watching the final season if ER with my good friends Ben & Jerry watching the snow coming down. Labour started that night, with the deepest snow we had seen in the area for years. Typical! However labour was 4 hours from 1st contraction, so made up for the wait.

Sending good hippy type vibes for your natural birth plan. Do what feels best. I howled like a wolef!

Will the midwives start putting pressure on you for sweeps and induction and things soon nickel?

Oh.. How about NickelDonkeyOnADustyRoad

Sod's law is going to make me go into labour tomorrow morning, isn't it?
so that there's no way i can go to the carol service.

I did nickeldonkeyonadustyroad last year - it was the first part of my triptych.
then i had nickeldonkeycarrymary
then nickeldonkeybehtlehemsinsight as the last part.

kell - i could pray for deep snow.
that might work :)

i don't feel well.

Do you know anyone with a trampoline?

I did lots of squatting with DS but it did fuck all. Supposed to open up the pelvis or something-worth a try?

How about NickelbabyJesus or NickelDonkey. Lickle baybee Jesus is quite the topic of conversation and endless out of tune singing atm here.

Ha crosspost on the donkey

At this rate it will be nickeldonkeycarrybabyeachandeverynight....
'bring on this labour please, nickel babe, nickel babe..'
Etc

I love trampolining! I don't know anyone with one though. The local farm has a very bumpy tractor ride... but they do refuse to let pregnant women on it!

I'm beginning to think I might actually get to the toddler group Christmas party on thursday...!! I'd really hoped to be sat in the corner with a baby while the rest of them entertained my toddler.

i was nickelbabyjesus the first year.

i told you, i will be nickeltownofbethlehem as soon as the baby is born.

(see, it knows i've had that name planned for a year, it's going to make sure i can't use it! )

i like your singing Mum :)

Hi Nickel - another lurker:)

I reckon it'll be right in the middle of the carol service. Certainly be memorable...

Good luck x
