One of the teachers at DS's school had a baby girl last week - her DH is a teacher too and he has been going around with a grin from ear to ear all week! It's so lovely to see.

it is so lovely !

no more news yet, am having to restrain myself from phoning my mum and dad every 10 minutes!

i know how much waiting aroudn there can be and that that first stage can be hours,but i am so excited!!

her first labour was around 10 hours, so hoping this will be similar

Does your stomach go into knots at regular intervals, for a minute at a time?

Good luck Ruby!

Lulu, does she know the sex or is it all going to be a surprise?

ha ha ! very good!

she does not know , except it is a baby
apparently things have quietend down a bit!

hope they kick off again soon!

oh how lovely - good luck Ruby

and for AuntieLulu's nerves.

GO RUBY GO!

AW, I want a baby!!!!!

oh lulu, fingers crossed for a speedy arrival with minimal pain!

advised her to try a bit of nipple stim !! don't know if she did or not, but apparently it's all started again now

just reminded her to go for a wee!

come on babbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

How exciting! I hope it goes well for her.

how exciting, good luck rubyslippers

Ooh!! V exciting
Sending quick, easy, positive labour vibes!!!

I'm still a bit confused though. Did I go through a time warp, or do some people have 6 week pregnancies these days?
