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!!

As in if he wants to eat it he needs to cook it.

Refresh, refresh, refresh!

I am imagining Mr Nickel playing the piano as if he's creating the atmosphere for a silent film.

During transition, I responded to DH's suggestion I keep a positive attitude with a polite suggestion of where he could shove said positive attitude.

C'mon nickel!

Fab, I told the midwife I had changed my mind and I didn't want to have a baby about 5 minutes before DS2 was born. she just smiled.

Sounds like you are doing really well Nikel!!!!!!

Carol I thought you knew and were being clever.
Turns out you didn't know and were being psychic AND clever :)

Friend 1, if you cue us in, we can all push together (pelvic floors permitting)

Could Nickels Dh play

Baby, Baby, Baby on the piano?

perhaps not

Just caught up with this after lurking, wow!
Push push push!

Am feeling all shivery that this is happening RIGHT NOW!

Go nickel!

Ooooooo!! Little baby clothes on the hot water bottle! If that doesn't get the broody hormones going nothing will! Nearly there Nickel, you can do this!

Shit - have to put my children to bed and take the bins out or dh is going to throw a huge fecking strop......

I think you all need a deep breath.

This is so exciting I'm happy to miss Strictly. I think it's a boy! He is going to be 8lb 11oz and he'll be born at 19:29

I told them I'd had enough now in transition and tried to get up to go home

ooooh so excited

Goodness we could have a live birth orchestra! Will get my fiddle our. That would give nickelbabe something to yell about

no no. no forced pushing. just going with the urge. breathy breathy breathy

DH is getting Boy ready for bed. I told him i'm unavailable for the next half hour. Come on Nickel

Go nickel! Very exciting

passes around mince pies and wine

has anyone put the kettle on yet? where are the towels?

Transition is good. Bad for Nickel that she'll have it all recorded it on here though

I told the consultant to fuck off and leave me and the mw alone... And they did

I could also get my trumpet ready for a celebratory fanfare once the birth has been announced...

My guess

boy
19:36
8lb 1

more

Nickel I hate to be a bother, but it's 22.14 here and I have to be up at 5.30....
