My 3rd was ok, too (for a vbac)
C'mon Flame!

My third was a nightmare. Still is.

Labour was shorter than the others though

She's just trying to outdo my 54 hour labour with ds1!

Have been surgically attached to my mobile since 12.30

Third children are generally evil. Or is it just mine?

PacificWerewolfwoohood · 19/10/2009 16:49

@ Dragon. Same could be said 'bout my No 1... Good labour, though too

Ironically, my worst labour lead to my "best" child

HidingFromTheDM · 19/10/2009 16:52

Ok...she needs to have this baby in the next 10 minutes. I then have to leave work, go do the shop, pick up dd from nursery, pick up dh from work and then go home to make dinner. My dh is a computer hog and there is no way he will let me sit on it all night to wait for the birth announcement. He'll think I've lost the plot.

So, you've got 9 minutes or you will need to hold him/her in until tomorrow morning.

Meri and I were sat in cafe earlier both checking twitter/email and texts just in case how daft are we!

clayre · 19/10/2009 16:52

have been lurking since last night, good luck and hurry up!

Niecie · 19/10/2009 16:53

Bet she's doing the skin-to-skin bonding bit. Ahhhhh.

She is obviously superwoman, with all that posting but I think even Flame will have to put the computer down for the bonding bit.

Having said that why has Mr Flame not taken up the mantel and posted? Does he not know there are dozens of women scattered across Britain, the world even, waiting for news?

Men, what are they like, eh?

Phoenix · 19/10/2009 16:54

No Baby yet?!?!

I've been out all day and really expected an announcement.

Come on BabyGus

(MRM You're always surgically attached to your mobile aren't you )

tHELLISH · 19/10/2009 16:54

Right, got to leave work and collect the DDs, make dinner, out them to bed. There better be a FlameBaby by the time I get back on here later!!

Hope it's all gone well, Flame

scrappydappydoo · 19/10/2009 16:59

Disenchanted3 · 19/10/2009 17:03

FGS! We are all sat here waiting.... she could at least have the decency to ask the bloody midwife to log on and update us!

norksonmywitchesbroomstick · 19/10/2009 17:04

i sense its crowning

Cadmum · 19/10/2009 17:11

I am hoping that baby was a two push wonder but that the laptop went for a splash in the tub.

4 semi-ignored children here
1 un-made dinner

Anxiously awaiting good news.

PacificWerewolfwoohood · 19/10/2009 17:14

Dinner (of sorts) in oven, daddy on DCs minding duty...so, come ooooooon, now!
