I will now make a huge idiot of myself...

...but that last BH made my eyes water. And the previous two weren't very comfortable, either.

Um. I have a surveyor coming round to the house on Monday and I also booked in to get my roots done for Monday afternoon.

We are trying to get DS through bath time and bedtime at the mo'.

And DH wants to go and get a takeaway after DS is in bed.

The house is in a state as well.

Look, this isn't a veery convenient time.

Okay, if things are kicking off, which I hope they aren't and bet they aren't now I've started a thread about it, how can I slow it down/stop it for a couple of days?

I've only got red pompoms, but I've got rose wine (can't do the squiggly French bit) and chips if anyone's flagging.

Starlight- 2L?! Madness! Is your 3yo 6 foot?! Also poor baby, I clearly remember my tonsillectomy, not fun hope she's feeling much better now.
Well if it's good and fresh then great! Much better than paracetamol on it's own. 60mg is a standard TR dose and likely what MW will advise.
Don't want to be saying anything that will cause probs but as not prescribed for you MW probably didn't give you doses as she thought it was? I don't expect an answer btw...just giving it a quick mention as it's a POM.
Good luck to you too.

Sending lots of backrubs to you Jars. MW is probably doing horrible things to you so will just keep my fingers crossed for good news x

Yep, and with no childproof cap.

Ah yes, helpful advice. This one comes courtesy of my independent midwife fom my second birth (home birth)....

Imagine your cervix is a flower, feel the petals unfolding. It's pressure not pain. Imagine holding your new baby.

To which I replied "I don't give a f*ck about the baby, give me the gas and air" It kind of went downhill after that!

So, is the baby midwife there yet?

A flower...a flower...I can't get over this.

No sentient creature would have thought it a good idea to go full twit on me like that. Honestly. I actually am a very calm kiddo squirter outer but that is beyond the pale.
Dh would've hidden the biscuits! RB - hope you got your G&A (at least).

Actually I didn't, apparently she wanted me to feel the pushing, so no g&a, and I was too far gone after that to remember about it. I can certainly still feel 4 hours of fecking pushing 3 years later. thank god she had a more sensible midwife back up with her

If I have to imagine anything it is a cervix tbh, but I'd rather just scream!

How are you doing OP?

4 cm, posterior at the mo, cx every 5 mins.

Yay! Bet it will be quick now......

You lot are cracking me up

How you doing then?

Yay! Jars agogo! Great news.

RB - I am so on your behalf. I suspect you did feel that bloody pushing. I'm wanting her to feel me pushing her bottle of patchouli right up her...nostril.

Right....time for the placing of bets.

Mine: 6.20am...girl...7lb5

12:15am 7lb 10 girl

02.10am boy 8lb 3

11:55pm 7lb 11 girl

Good luck OP!

OMG how bloody exciting. Am living vicariously as never gave birth-all 3 came through the emergency exit to prevent crash landing :o Never even got so much as a whif of gas & air. Miserable fuckers wouldn't let me have any as "doctor says we need to go to theatre stat"

Good luck Jars!

Hope random wins...ill still be awake.

4am. It's always 4am.

7lb14 boy

Gnocchi, though you said you hope it is random twins?

That woukd be exciting!

Go Jars!! I had 3 homebirths, would love love love to do it again! think of your gorgeous squishy baby coming, coming, slowly but surely.

DH says hi, nervously.
