Oh good luck. I bet you are getting really excited, aren't you.

As a first time mum you've probably got a while yet but you might have to meet your DH at the hospital

All the best. Sending you some good birthing vibes..

I have been lurking and watching your thread. I think you posted a couple of weeks ago about your dh going away?

Sounds as though things are starting. Wishing you a good labour and hoping dh arrives in time.

Good luck. Am thinking of you

Your life will never be the same again - in a lovely way

I guess no news is good news!

desperatehousewifetoo · 08/08/2008 22:06

It's very exciting when someone else has a baby. Brings it all back..

I do think, though, that rockinmum is showing a lack of commitment to mumsnet by not posting whilst actually giving birth

mummy2t · 08/08/2008 22:14

gemdangracie · 08/08/2008 22:34

Right then........went into hospital yesterday morning at about half nine. Had contractions for about 8 hours....then ended up delivering at 1142, 7lbs 7oz, on the luckiest day for 100 years (according to the chinese).

Only had gas and air and meptid, and only needed 6 stiches all internal.

So happy and a piccie going on profile now xx

Congratulations rockinmum and rockindad. (would have been funny if she had weighed 8lb 8oz,born on 8.8.08)

Have looked at your photo. I assume you had a girl? She's very beautiful.

Thankyou for letting us know. Enjoy life as a family.

mummylin2495 · 09/08/2008 15:49
