nickelbabe's live birth saga part 3. There HAS to be a birth in this one!

[nickelbabe]

Just getting it ready....

Noone post until it's full, right!!

Another huge G O O D L U C K from me too Nickel

Marking my place too. Good luck. X

The very worst thing about a sweep imo is the whole lying there, legs akimbo, malarkey but you can't really avoid that when you're pregnant.

Oh, and my toddler appearing round the curtain with this face and saying "Mummy, what's that lady doing? Mummy?"
"erm, go and sit down. I'll explain later"
"but what..."
"SIT DOWN"

ooh, and if you want natural third stage skin-to-skin and BF does help get it moving....

though the little snookums do like to sneeze up snotty water first before feeding.

good luck for the rest of today

today feels like a very good day to be born.

if you go for a sweep tell the MW before you are very nervous and ask her to go slowly. slow is much more gentle than rushing to get it over and done with quickly.

COME ON ISBN!

Marking place and wishing you good luck - it feels like a good day to be born!

I keep popping back to see how you are doing Nickel. My thoughts and prayers are with you. xx

BIWII never said that. I said thank you .

Blimey, 3 threads! C'mon ISBN!! :)

BIWI - I just read back my post and I felt we should stop with the where-is-she? posts in case nickel really wanted some peace from us MN. I wasn't meaning no one should update!! We all want to know that all is well.

Nickel - sorry if I have offended you, or anyone and I hope you are having a lovely time with your friend and ISBN doesn't decide to come now to crash the party .

What am I going to do when it's all over and there's no live birth thread left? X Factor is ending this weekend too I might have to interact with my family after that
Good luck though Nickel, staying positive for a home birth for you, and hope the sweep is successful and not too ouchie

Oooh a third thread, glad you are OK Nickel, good idea to go with a careful sweep, I think Isbn is secretly loving the attention and wants to be an MN mini sleb!

Checking in on the new thread! Fingers crossed the isbn puts in an appearance this weekend.

3rd time lucky nickel Hope it's this weekend for you!

nickelbabe, sorry to ask this on your birth thread, but how's trade?

Good luck... hope it all happens soon!

Aw nickel babe, was only joking re the ragtime suggestion - think that along with the chipmunks would be the music least conducive to calm labour for me.

Whale music and hippy - if it floats anyone's boat, then that's great. I did hynobirthing with ds1 (second delivery), also antenatal yoga, homeopathic bith kit, tens and anything else I could think of, as an antidote to the first slightly more medicalised birth of dd (epidural, pethidine, but lovely still though I wanted more control and confidence second time). In the end he shot out like a rocket after 2 hr labour. Not much time for plans, but brilliant.

yay-you are possibly having 'the rummage' after all!

checking in - at least with a new thread I'm not scared I'll use up the last posts - didn't dare post yesterday

Ooh, just found this thread on active convos - will try to keep up now!

mince - you're forgiven - i thought you were being mena.

mean even...

cadelaide - seems quite busy - Friend says she's been rushed off her feet

I did wake up this morning when DH was getting ready for work and decide that I needed to put a wash on. Which I did.
then when I went back to bed, i decided I needed to hoover downstairs, maybe upstairs and definitely clean up the dining table.
When I got up, I did the hoovering downstairs but was too knackered then to do anything else.

Just rang Triage to tell them when I'd be coming in - she knew it was me (which is really freaky when they do that!)(not Dot, this is the MW that did hte scan, think she is Marianne? Nice lady)
She told me that I had to see a doctor again today, so I told her i wouldn't see the one I saw on Thursday, She's not in today anyway. It'll be a different one.
I asked why I had to see a doctor again and she explained it was because of it being 14 days by NICE guidelines they have to explain everything again (and then said "I know you've heard it all before :) ")
I then told her that I was going to accept a VE and a sweep today, which she seemed happy with.

Of course (now we're going TMI), we hd sex last night, and all day it's been gunky down there. I'm going to be if it's still gunky when they do the VE.
