[SquonkTheBeerGuru]

new thread.

if it is not mentioned. then make sure you and DH talk about it., and how traumatic it was for you

oh sweetheart, it will come good in the end, it always does go with an open mind to your meeting, i hope it goes well!

hello

is anyone about for me to pick their brains?

hi nosnik!

starlight, i think it is a great idea, and definitely worth talking to her about it !
appropriate skills: passion for helping women have a positive birth experience, compassion, empathy, helping you to get through labour , adopting different positions, offering sips of water, back massage etc.. i reckon an AN teacher trainee could handle that

depends on your mum ! and your relationship with her.

I'm about - can't promise there is alot of brain to pick though

am ehre for a wee bit then i won;t be back until tomorrow, so ask quickly !

Baby was moving so much last night that it was really hurting, not labour hurting but stinging enough to make me wince. Felt like it was pushing down but turning around as well. was doing it for about 4 hrs. Does this mean he/she is distressed?

It has happened before but no for so long. I was sick yesterday and had a migraine too, 39
+6 btw

I would've said baby was possible changing position, both DD's did this to me at 39+ weeks and was most uncomfortable .... however, 4 hours doesn't seem like it was baby moving.

Hopefully Lulu will be more use to you

Star light how many weeks are you again? I'd love to have my mum as doula but we are very much of the same view on child birth. I'm not sure that if she was 'old school' I'd be so keen!

It was more like: "Bit cramped in here, maybe if I just stick my head down here a bit and do some break dancing and then kick my legs all at the same time, then squeeze this and punch that I'll make more room for myself so I can stay here comfortably for another week!" I swear I have at least 6 new stretch marks over night!
