W are jolly well going to get pregnant this month and we're brooking no argument - all rat smackers past, present and future welcome!

[farfallarocks]

Here, we go, nice new thread.
Might be helpful to have some stats so we know where we all are?

I will start, farfallarocks - TTC#2, cycle 11. 1st brooking baby DD, 21 months. Investigations reveal high FSH and potentially starting IVF.

Um, I don't think baby Musical took note of your post Imps

Neither did DinoBaby. I'm having words

Looking forward to the GBBO final, although I'll need to watch it on the iPlayer. I'll do it as I give birth tonight as that's what I've decided I'm doing tonight. Enough is enough.

Good decision there Dino tonight would be a good night to give birth!

I'm very excited for the GBBO final, it's going to be a male winner, but I couldn't pick which one.

Are we ready ladies

Except Dino I fully hope you're far too busy

Richard's losing the plot! I can't watch.

But this technical challenge must surely be impossible. 2 hours??!

I can't believe that!! He completely cocked that right up

I think Louis has the best one!

Bit disappointed with the outcome, if I'm honest. Just as I was last year. Hurrumph.

Yeah I wasn't happy with that

Nothing to report here except it was all rather close to call, wasn't it? I said to DH that I thought Nancy might just wing it but it was close.

It was a close call, such a shame Richard crumbled under the pressure.

Come on baby Dino I think mummy has waited we quite long enough now.

Tell me about it, boo. I was up at 4am with mild contractions but everything settled down about 6am, so I am exhausted and still pregnant. Final sweep tomorrow (MWs are too busy today because everyone else in the county was delivering last night) and then induction on Saturday. Just hoping they have space and I'm not delayed for days like I was with DD.

Oh baby Dino stop teasing your mummy and come soon please!

Hoping the sweep goes ok today Dino (or, even better, that baby Dino has decided to put in an appearance overnight!).

Still here, but Paul Hollywood answered my webchat question! I'm not a huge PH fan but I know there are people around here who are!

I am brooking no argument that we get some brooking babies this weekend ok? October is a lovely month to be born I think, lovely and autumnal.

How is everyone doing and what are everyone's weekend plans?
DH off sailing this weekend so little far and I are having a girly weekend of cupcake baking and shoe shopping.

Ooh 'ol blue eyes spoke to you Dino hope things are a ' moving! !!

Will be back to chat tomorrow. It's been a busy day!

You will have to ask MNHQ to pass the news on to him Dino as I am sure he would be happy to know what effect he has on heavily pregnant women :o

Has Dinobaby arrived? Squeeeeeew how wonderful! Do tell all when you've got a minute Dino!

Hope to see Musicalbaby v soon too.

How were your weekends all? Had a lovely one - out in the garden all day on Sat and catching up with friends yesterday. It's bloody Monday again though - they really should be banned.

ooooo looking forward to hearing all about baby dino!
how are you musical?
had a lovely weekend, a bit of shopping was done although I really shouldn't have been buying myself stuff.
N got his first shoes! some prewalkers from clarks, cruising shoes. he was so cute trying shoes on, I nearly cried.

YAY!! I'VE GOT PANT SNOT!! Oh thank you body, thank you so much for getting back to normal post-MC. Now, if you could just hold on to the baby next time, that would be very much appreciated.

Em, congratulations, imps?! Just, em, delighted for you! Seriously, glad things have settled down all ready for a sticky one.

cartoon, that's lovely that he has his shoes! Did they take a nice picture of him in them for you?

Dinobaby arrived on Saturday morning, after mild contractions since Friday afternoon. The midwives didn't believe I was in labour, despite me telling them that in the first stage, my contractions come about every 5 mins and are quite manageable and that it doesn't ramp up until the second stage. We were left in the delivery room and barely saw anyone! They believed me when I announced that I could feel DD's head crowning though. She was born about 3 minutes later. Official labour of 33 minutes, but I think closer to 3 hours, so still not long, and I managed to avoid induction after the CMW gave me the most enthusiastic sweep on Friday lunchtime that I've ever had! I'll PM you with her name.

Oh Dino how wonderful!!! And a beautiful choice of name! Many many congratulations to you all - your news is almost as exciting as my pant snot news
