New bus ladies, who's next to poas

Morning

Ah Sparkly, your little nephew is going to love having a baby cousin, the time is coming for you.

Ds woke me up this morning playing Xbox and getting over excited talking with his friend over the speaker! We've just got him xbox live so that he can play with his friends but not at 6.15!!! New rules I think

What's everyone up to today? I'm taking ds swimming and then meeting dp for a walk.

I do indeed Sparkly and it has just reinforced my hatred of them. IMO hospitals are just factories of death and if I can avoid my baby being born in one I will!

Sparkler that nephew story is both cringy (as are any baby related questions) and funny! I would have panicked at the last part too!

My evening was ok, only got asked once why we weren't having a baby (and dh got asked twice), I think I stopped it by mentioning how weird it is that people feel it's ok to ask - it was in context, I'm not a nutter! Xx

Did I miss any BFPs? Xx

night I think when you work in the nhs you are less inclined to want to spend time in them. I would like a home birth I think.

Pudey and other green-fingered types, you are more than welcome to come and do something to my garden! I have never had one until September, and not the first idea what to do. DH cuts the grass and that is it. A load of daffodils the old tenants must have planted have just come up, which is pleasing but now I am worried I should do something (cut them somehow??) when they start to die...

In tv terms I am chomping at the bit for the new series of Game of Thrones, as my nickname would suggest!

Definitely agree mummy. I also have a bit of a reputation in my hospital. When I spend time on a ward the death rate goes up, not sure I would be safe as an inpatient!

So home or birthing unit for us I hope. As long as I'm not overdue like with DS - but at least as I'm tracking my cycles I will have a better idea of due date unlike last time.

Would love a home birth! All my brothers were born at home and mum was able to get into her own bath followed by her own bed. Didn't have all the disturbances that you get in hospital either so reckon she must have slept better (well as well as you can with a newborn)!

She also had three midwives to herself!

Call me a wimp, but I want to be in a hospital surrounded by as many medical professionals as possible. I hope and pray for a active and natural birth, but want every option available if it is needed. (prob a naive view)

Wow! That's alot of attention! I want a water birth if I can do would have to hire a pool for home but the nearest birthing centre is 15 mins away so that could be easier (but they do have a high transfer rate to hospital which puts me off). I can imagine home is much nicer, can't be bothered listening to couples argue again on the postnatal ward. One couple near on agreed to divorce postnatally! he bought the wrong shopping into the hospital.

Before I started working in a hospital babs I would have agreed with you :) like mummy I want a water birth and my local hospital doesn't offer it and nearest birthing centre is too far away (unless DH learns to drive) so home birth is best option I think :)

night get him booked on some lessons! DP only has use of a work van so once my insurance renewal is up in June, he will be put on incase I change my mind about home birth and want a birthing centre instead.

If hospitals were the safest place we wouldn't all be pushing the out of hospital model of care at the minute. But I know how everyone feels, I had a planned hospital birth with my first as same as you babs I wanted as many Drs around as possible. And the option of an epidural, which I took advantage of!!

What I meant was - the safest place to give birth is the place you feel safest.

I am probably quite green about it all. I have been lucky enough to never have to spend very much time in hospital at all. I'm just a worrier!

Anyhoo, better focus on getting me knocked up first! On CD28 here. Feel af is imminent. Just popping to town to get hay for the wabbit, don't know whether to get a frer or not. If I do, I will surely have af by the time I get home in line with law of sod...

Cake! Look away sugar giver uppers. I think I will try and join you. Right after I've got stuck into this little beauty...

Sparkly, what a sweet conversation. Pleased you didn't deliver an Eskimo Laura style blow by blow account of how babies are made.

Oh yeah, cake....

Voila.

Giddy that is gorgeous, I hope your friends enjoy it ??

babs if you buy it you'll use it. How many dpo are you?

Sparkly! You're alive and unscathed by rambunctious boys! You must be exhausted. Lazy day today for you, right? Your garden sounds ace and I would love to have a go at it. Ha! Ha! That convo with your nephew had me chortling; the questions tots ask! Are your nephews on your side or DH's?

Frog! Argh! I didn't know (or had forgotten) you had a child already, and here's me trying to teach a grandmother how to suck eggs

What is Walking Dead? I know it's supposed to be terrific but if it's zombie shite I'm not interested.

I don't understand men who haven't learned to drive. Don't understand 'em.

I always thought a home birth was what I would want, but being 42 and birthing my first child I knew I'd be silly to do it. I am so glad I didn't bother. Those 17 hours of pain were terrifying (well..fourteen of them) and I cannot imagine what I would have suffered without the epidural towards the end. What a horrible thought

Today I am skipping church because my throat is so sore and I only got to sleep at 3am. The tot had to come in with me (Giddy, I wish, I wish, I wish I had had you to talk to and to tell me I was doing the right thing). I was all: 'Aww, Baby Girl not well, huh? Mama loves Baby...shall mama sing..? The wheels on the bus go round and round...', to which she simply kept punching me in the head with Larry (the lamb) whilst laughing like a drain and taunting me with, 'Daaa-dee!'. It's not on.

Good morning, ladies! Sorry I have been quiet, I have been away arranging fertility tests and referrals but they are (hopefully) no longer needed as WE JUST GOT OUR BFP!

I am 11dpo and have done 2 frers! We are excited inside but a bit wary as it's taken 14 cycles and I'm suspected to have low progesterone (more tests due) which can cause early loss. Please keep your fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

I haven't had chance to read back yet but congrats to all the BFPs so far and fx for many more.

I will post my stats later as I changed a few things which might have helped! Oh and I will provide the obligatory pic of the line!

Yup its zombies purd and I love it too! Hope you feel better soon and manage an afternoon nap or somefink when Nancy does, if she does?! Know nothing about babies

Giddy...YUM!

It looks super!

Mummy, I reckon I'm at least 12 dpo, maybe 13. Theres no exact science in place here.
