The "Scorpio is in labour, how long will everyone else have to wait" thread...

[SquonkTheBeerGuru]

new thread.

another twenty weeks of making virtual bacon butties every day?

um....

ok

phone is silent. twatty thing!

VS - my midwives were my bfing counsellors.

Then they kind of passed the baton on to the HV. Kayz - I'll be able to help you with bfing, I think. (well, not physically help, but I can deffo advise)

Another 8 months Squonk!!!

I wouldn't want to go into midwifery unless I knew I could give the right info/support to BFers, I know how important the hospital midwives help was to me with DS1 and it's not something mw's get trained on is it?

not got my CAT yet

About bloody time too Scorpio You go girl - I told you not to tempt fate or she'd be born on Saturday!

I am LulumamasDopelganger but am too excited to change name.

DH is due home tonight so won't be on here too long. I expect a birth thread tomorrow morning.

nor me

All I got from MW's with DS was "He'll feed when he wants" But he would scream and we'd be told by the MW he needs feeding so when I tried all I got from her was "He'll feed when he wants" I could've hit her sometimes.

VS do the BF counselling separately! Studying with kids isn't easy (sigh), and most MW's are no more highly trained in BF than I am (Unicef baby friendly course- which I did with a large class of MW and HV).

Would also show the MW interviewers that you really want the course place, of course.

Squonk have not read all of thread but is Scorpio going to text you when she is birthing?!?!?! Ahhhh is it happening? She was one of my TTC buddies .

Thats what I thought Peachy, do the BFC then MW course.

Dh has just said
"Has she had the baby yet?"
"Has she had the baby yet?" X about 20

yes, egg... twas a real deja vu moment - I got two texts at the same time. One from you (about the kids waking up) and one from scorpio saying "I'm in labour" Made me to remember the last time I got a text like that

Last time I got a cat, it took a good few hours to come through.

Should I just post my mobile number on here then ask MHHQ to delete it?

eg - whaddya mean a ttc buddy? you only did it once and got two babies!!!!!

no , as it might take a while to get deleted..

you can email me

mail @ motheringinstincts. com

starlight, you cannot keep this up until september ! you'll wear yourself out !

No hot water so am back and still no baby !!

and I'll email Lulu and too and then she can put the two of us together....... I love a good plan

There's a mobile number for a phone thats not used for anything else that I have on the due in April thread that anyone can use if they want me to post something.

good thinking dondons!

peachy, how is your DS4.. ? is he fabulous? and wonderful?

ok. hzve mailed you.

May have mailed you twice, ds pressed buttons before I had finished.

So if you get one mail saying

"hi, it's me, my mobile number is...." don't worry, there's another one on its way

thanks, babe !

Its a day for babies. My friend had her twin girls at 1 this morning. She has only just decided to call them Daisy and Poppy. I can't wait to see them but I have to wait a whole week.
