Jordan does a good interview, bundle, (its a nice article, i really liked it), an in-depth piece on Shayne Ward, Preston and Chantelle (of course), and good fashion stuff too

have 96 hours to have homebirth

quite good really

I turned 35 in Feb., NP. I leave the birthing to the youngsters on the board here. My arse is too knackered to have any more and we don't have the space or money.

It's fun when they're someone else's.

Our third child is going to be another cat.

The words in depth do not go with Shayne Ward, Preston and Chantelle

no pressure then enid
that's a lot of magazines tho

naily, is jordan on the cover?

BEst of luck enid hope it's all over soon and your holding a new little bundle, ooh the smell of newborns yum!

Grazia is really shit these days. Has been for a while. It's vapid and boring.

any names yet enid?

how are you feeling?

make sure you have something to eat and drink plenty water.

go and fold vests/bibs. and then put them tidily in drawers. at least you can do that sitting

have you got everything you need?

oooops sorry Enid, I "hun"ed you, slip of the keyboard ....

Incidentally, whenever I see your name I always call you "Gnid" cos I had loads of Enid Blyton books as a kid with her signature on and I thought the E was a G

yeah, like a large bottle of wine for after the birth?

i stocked up - booze, spare box of fags just in case things got too bad, takeaway places on speed dial, etc.

uch OO you know what i mean

read 'in-depth' as 'gossipy' then, darling

yes Jordan is on the cover, brown hair so not easy to spot

and expat, you are young. im 33 so no arguing

Good luck Enid

Grazia has gone downhill. It's all palstic surgery and photos of Camilla Al Fayed at parties.

Fold vests and bibs. Oh lord as if she ain't gonna bedoing enough of that. That sounds far too Stepford Wives

Had it yet???

oh sorry thts guaranteed to slow labour isn't it.

i've heard that sideways up the stairs thing too.

it ain't gonna happen, NP. i'm on the wait list to be sterilised. will hopefully have the op in Autumn. no more. can't afford 'em.

flum, i folded vests and bibs before babies were born loads of times, after they were born they were just flung in the drawer, stepford wives philosophy out the window

!

ENID - how exciting!!!!! Go for a walk, but don't go too far from home - one of my best friends had waters go, then nothing, went for a walk, and head was crowning within about half an hour - had to dash back to delivery (was in hospital!).

Fingers crossed for a quick delivery and that you're going to beat me to it!

ooh exciting.

i agree, expat, that other peoples are better for me. i have just 'lost' my 2nd coil in 6 mths, dh says 'its a sign'

well im not reading the signs! i actually tell myself on a daily basis "two is enough"

sorry for hijack enid

i don't have to tell myself what i already know, np!

sounds like you're next for having a third after enid!

:)

Oh Enid, this is really great! It won't be long now! My waters broke in the night too, and I walked around with a towel between my legs for most of the day. Hopefully things will go quicker for you. This is so exciting! All the best for a speedy and painless delivery!

Hope you're SLEEPING lol my waters broke hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and...

anyway, best to rest while you can otherwise you'll be awake for days like I was!!

best of luck Enid and bump!
