The old thread isn't accepting new messages!
Too much waffling, you know who you are

I jsut wanted to psot to say good luck hm, hope you can hold out, but it really sounds like things are moving. Jsut think you could be cuddled upw ith your baby by tomorrow morning!

Glad to hear dt2 is better, fg.

Well I don't know about the deep breathing, but I am having a lager so that might help me chill a bit. Oh and dh is home, so will probably be alright now. don't know why I got so anxious, not really like me, ho hum, thanks for listening

Well I'll sink one for you as well petal!

Hi overrunnerbean, one of my DTs had 2 overnight stays in hospital around 11-12 months, younger than yours I know, but the one left at home felt the absence of the other more than the one in hospital, I guess because the familiar things were different for the one at home, rather than the whole experience being a novelty for the one in hospital.

The other thing you need to do is make sure you take some food, water, reading matter for you as well as for DS when he wakes up...I'm sure not all hospitals are as crap as my local one but the food there is quite horrific, as though they don't actually want to help anyone get well! That's one of the reasons I discharged myself after I had the DTs, but that's a story for another day

Hope it all goes well for you, try not to worry too much xx

Hi Overrun, just off to read your thread.....

Bloody Robert Winston....watch his fertility prog every week and every week i end up bawling like a baby....it's so moving to see those people desperate to have babies against the odds. Im reminded how lucky i am

Damn, I missed the Robert Winston programme, I do like him so much and I've been trying to watch it.

Overrun, I can't find your thread. Maybe I'm being stupid but I had a quick look under health, chat, other stuff, development but my tired eyes can't find it. I do hope tomorrow is ok for you all. Will you be staying overnight with him? I understand you feeling the way you do, tbh I'd feel similar.

I remember when I had to have 4 wisdom teeth out (under general anasthetic, sp?), DP drove me there and it was such a beautiful day. All I could think of was the sunshine, the trees, how gorgeous it all looked and how this might be my last journey and I might never see it all again. FFS IT WAS MY WISDOM TEETH AND I THOUGHT I WAS DYING . I was so young and daft then (still daft, not as young) and I had nothing else to worry about .

Joking aside, it will not be easy taking your gorgeous boy in for his op. But better now when he has little memory about it. When he is 19 and sleeping off a big Saturday night out on a Sunday morning, you can hoover right outside his bedroom door and call it payback for all the worry . Do let us know how you get on and post anytime you need to. Love to you all.

anyone noticed that HM has gone quiet ? I hope things got going for her - or at least if not, she had a good long rest .

overrunnerbean's thread is here

hm v quiet, hopefully good news!

She probably doesn't want to disappoint us with her 4 week labour! lol

I didn't mean that HM. I'm hoping that we'll see a birth announcement soon. Between you and NatalieJane I'm almost exhausted lol

Hi every one, thanks for all your responses. Our bags are packed and we are ready to go, Mum is picking me up at 10, so doing a last minute mumsnet while dts watch cbeebies. They are not normally allowed it in the morning, so they are pleased.
Lapinrose, I think that you are right it will be dt2 who finds it hardest, dt2 does miss him if dt1 is at Granny's for the day.
Dt1 although he won't enjoy some of the procedures will probably be quite excited to be spending so much time with Mummy on his own
FG you sound so like me, thats the way my mind works too A big part of me rationally knows it is likely to be okay.
I've noticed that HM has gone quiet, hopefully a good sing. I will miss it all I expect, and come back tomorrow or friday to the birth announcement.

Good luck overrun, im sure it will all be fine. Look forward to hearing you are all ok in couple of days

Oh i do hope you have something to celebrate HM, be that a full nights sleep or a lovely baby bundle....

I missed your thread overun, but hope everything is going well for you and the dts. And of course I don't feel awkward about having you on the thread. TBH I forgot you were in the profession - memory liek a sieve these days! You'll have to excuse my anger but it honestly isn't directed at all sws. The lady I had who was our trauma sw was absolutely lovely, so I know they aren't all bad. Dtill no news from mine. I might give my hv a ring for a chat, she is far more supportive.

overrun, I finally posted, much too late to be useful though!!

Hi Kelly, I'm slightly mad for you that you're still waiting for news. However, I guess its nice to be left to carry on with this thing we call life. Is DP home now or are you still working out a plan?

I thought HM will be busy when her new baby gets here so I've made a list. She just has to cut and paste the most applicable ones for us......

Its a girl!

Its a boy!

Its twins, one was hiding!

My front bottom hurts like hell! (was going to type vag but is that lowering the tone of the thread?? )

My c/s scar is itchy.

I'm ridiculously happy, calm and not too tired.

I'm pissed off as hell, feel shite and want to cry.

Its pick 'n mix HM........

The ridiculously happy/pissed off as hell are not references to the sex btw!!!

PMSL FG, what a fab idea! There should be a standard email like that you can send round everyone after the event! Quick patent it....!

Hope she is ok, it's hard bloody work squeezing babies out, im so not looking forward to doing it again. At least she only has to get 1 out this time...she hopes....!

fg

how about

'I've turned into an elephant and have another 5 months of pregnancy left to go'

'I've never doing that again'

Yes it is rather ncie, I've called my hv for an update and will be avoiding my sw for as long as poss.

My bar is open......

I seem to be the only adult in my house and that, sometimes, is a strange feeling (even though it happens all the time). To be vastly outnumbered and alone with it. I do get lonely but it is fine. After kids baths and bed, I'm trying to get my jobs done (school shoes polished, uniform scraped clean, packed lunch made, bucket out, d/washer emptied, floors swept, bit of laundry, bit of online christmas shopping) and then flop into bed early. Please someone send me vibes for putting my light out at 10pm (if not before). I really need it atm.

That was a lot of rubbish wasn't it. I shouldn't have had the second glass of wine....

Kelly, I'm so glad we're not elephants . Imagine your elephant DP coming at you with that!!!!

i'M GOING TO BREAK OUT THE WINE IN A MIN, whoops caps, dp's car has been rear ended twice in the past month so is in the garage. And now some silly woman has driven into a wheelie bin in front of him and it fell onto his hire car causing a huge dent. But good news in taht the police have said it is her fault so hopefully dp shouldnt have to pay anything.

@ a dh elephant!

Yeah, life can be rough but at least we have normal sized penises to deal with .....unless someone wants to divulge family secrets LMAO!!!!!

Actually FG......no wont go there just yet...will save it for when we really need it...

You know I started the whole "HM you don't need to post, you go be private and unpressured" thing......... Well I regret it now!

I want to know And I want to know NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a kind of torture...i so hope she is ok and that little bundle is out and sleeping peacefully on her, dontcha just love it when they are tiny and snuggle in to the crook of your neck....gah, why do we have to wait so long for them to come out?! Only another 5 months to go bfore i can hand mine round for you all to snuggle.....

I do love it... but I won't be going there again. I shall snuggle my doulababes and HM's and of course yours LG&T

And Piximon's and Leos.... ooh the list goes on.
