lak114 · 19/09/2006 10:51

I wish i had had a quick labour lol -was in labour 36 hrs with ds.

How old is everyone and how old are your children?

jazzybabe · 19/09/2006 11:10

36 hrs good god has it put you off having any more, i had 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 hour labours im 35 but like to think im 25 and i have two girls one is 16 months and one is 15 weeks and hopefully trying again next year would like a little boy next

lak114 · 19/09/2006 11:15

Oh yeah i remember you said we must have just passed in the hospital.

No it hasnt out me off but do want it to be a shorter labour next time and would like baby to be smaller as Will was 8.11 and 54cm long!!!
Im thinking about trying again next year but I want a little girl next time!

jazzybabe · 19/09/2006 11:18

well they say second is quicker hope its the same for third as itl be even quicker reckon ill be induced again though seems like i dont like going naturally into labour lol mine were 7lb 3 and 6 13 apparently they were suprised at the first size as im only small all i want is a small head dont care how much they weigh

lak114 · 19/09/2006 11:25

LOL small head is good - Will had a big head too, 39 cm!!!!!
I only put on a stone in my pregnancy so they were surprised at how big Will was, all the way through I had been told I was having a small baby!

You should eat pineapple- thats the new food they say to send you into labour - the midwife told me to try it and I think it worked for me!!!

jazzybabe · 19/09/2006 11:29

you are having a laugh if i ever see another pinapple ill scream lol in first preg i was told eat pinapple walk raspberry leaf tea and last of all sex well i ate tons of pinapple at least one every two days and raspberry leaf tea by the gallons tried currys walking andlast of all sex which i didnt think was that pleasant at the end ewk and i was still induced this time i started the pinapple thing and raspberry leaf tea by the fourth gallon of tea and 100 ton of pipnapple i gave up and just faced the fact my babys dont come out naturally think my tummy is too damm comfy for them, who was your midwife was she from southend or westcliff

lak114 · 19/09/2006 11:31

Lol - I had it and the next day went into labour, never got the chance to try anything else but still have raspberry tea in my cupboard!!!!
My midwife through my pregnancy was from Westcliff - a lady called Sue Pogmore but had different ones after the birth!

UCM · 19/09/2006 11:58

Morning all, how are we today?? I'm soooooo tired, didn't go to bed until 2 am, my nan fell up the stairs and cut her shin quite badly so I had to call an ambulance luckily they stitched her up and bandaged her leg here at home. Then ds woke at 5 wanting to play! Little monkey!! Morning Laura my dd is 22.5 months and my ds is 7.5 months and I am 26, dd was 7lb 15 at birth after 14.5 hours, ds was 8lb 13 after a 21 hour labour ending in an emergency cs.

Now what was I going to say .................. oh yeah the esplanade is a bit smokey isn't it??More of a drinkers pub?? so not really as child friendly? could just go for a walk I guess?

Emskilou · 19/09/2006 12:04

jazzybabe · 19/09/2006 20:20

i had a mid wife called sue when i was at my doctors in leigh then changed to southend and had ruth anne marie or any one else who was there at the time lol, is it emma who has the two babys was wondering how you cope with two close in age, im ok at mo but just thinking ahead can imagine its going to be a night mare, especially when amberley starts crawling i can make friday woohooooo thats if my darling daughter behaves herself for more than half and hour

jazzybabe · 19/09/2006 20:22

lucky buggers my mum and dad always had vw camper vans and we used to go camping every year loved it, now my dads got some other van and is off most of the year camping some where or other !!has any one been to disney land paris by the way ?

Emskilou · 19/09/2006 21:14

Yep its me with the 2 monsters no they are lovely really, I'm surprised how much Brooke helps me with Taylor, when he is grumpy he manages to cheer him up by playing with him when I can't! Bless her! Taylor has just started to do the belly crawling along the floor, very amusing but I have to keep an eye on him, he's soooooooooo quick, Brooke has started to try and drag him back by his legs and I kinda have to stop her doing that although he laughs loads when she does it!

jazzybabe · 19/09/2006 21:22

lol its so much easier when they start walking though,jasmines only 16 months and trys to pick amberley up i have to stop her other wise shel pull her head off lol she kisses her and pats her on the head so hope fully shel be good when amberley gets older and play with her,shes getting to a bit of a temper tantrum stage now though and i caught her pinching another little girl at little steps she goes too she kicks off big time at home bit like in the shore house lol but kicks her feet about usuall aimed at me lol

mimi1uk · 20/09/2006 21:14
