lol Bruno!

Well, she hasn't posted since just after 3 pm so I reckon things must be on the move. Still think it's a girl and I think she'll be arriving fairly soon.

It is exciting isn't it Grin

oi! coaching's out, didn't you know?

We should just sit here unobtrusively, perhaps chanting OM from time to time and keeping the aromatherapy candles burning...

marthamoo · 26/04/2006 16:50

Doesn't she have a laptop? Can she not type while she labours? I have to go and cook dinner...

suedonim · 26/04/2006 16:57

You've got two minutes to produce, Enid, then I have to go! Best wishes to you all, hope eveything goes smoothly and I look forward to reading all about it in July. Smile

Wishing you a speedy and delightful birth experience and a beautiful baby, Enid.

Girl, before midnight, 7lbs, 8 ozs.

Ohhhhh, just seen this!

Gnid? Like Gnasher, Miaou?! Grin

Good luck Enid - MN is the best place to labour, truly! Read my "ohh, this is uncomfy" thread again the other day and the memories, ah the memories Grin

Really hope it's all going swimmingly my love - looking forward to hearing your news!

Will never forgive you hunker for starting without me last time Sad Wink

I'll share what hurried on my contractions, its a bit gross......

Do whatever it takes for you to have a bowel movement.......Blush Although some could argue that impending contractions caused the movement....

Have a curry then go walk it off. Hows that Grin

Good luck (Boy 7lb 12oz tomorrow 10.38am)
