Hope no one minds....I took an executive decision

Oooooh, how exciting!!!!!!!!! If it gets going at home, can you still have a home-birth?

Just watching Jamie's 30 minute meals on catch-up. Those chocolate ganache thingys make me want to undo all the hard work of aerobics last night! Aching triceps today, got to be a good sign

how're things, hkz? you're home now?

pat, the sorer the better i could barely walk for a week when i started this couch to 5k thing. the pain must mean something, surely....

Well still in hospital attached to monitor waiting for pessary. Was told at half ten the whole process would take about an hour and I'm stillhere. It's not even busy! But hopefully will be home soon and won't have to come back. If labour starts I can go to the midwife led unit.

Am impressedwith your fitness regimes stripey and pat. Can't wait until I am not the size of a house and can do a bit of mild exercise without collapsing in a heap.

Pat when is your sil's scan? Hope it goes well.

maybe they're trying to keep you there til you go into spontaneous (!) labour....

Good Grief.... I think I'd just left. Hope you're home now.

Hello Ladies. Rainy drab morning. Feel like shopping.

Good luck hkz

Good luck hkz!

hkz! i'm taking this silence as portentous - good luck!

Popping in to see if anything has popped out.

GotArt I'd have been seriously fed up sitting around that long too.

HKZ thinking of you and hoping everything is ok x

I got a text from HZ last night at 10.30pm saying she went into labour before they could induce her so she is on the lovely new MLU and 'it bloody hurts'. Am assuming that is the labour, not the MLU. Eagerly awaiting news of HZlet x

Ooooo yay! I shall lurk about to hear the news

hurrah! will be checking in all day

news from HZ:

'Baby girl born at 7.30. In scbu as breathing a bit wheezy'

Blinking flip..................go to work and I miss a baby being born,grrrrrrrrrrr

Massive congrats to the HKZ clan and what a lovely special present for J on his birthday

Joint parties whilst they are little, whoop-whoop! Less expense!

Sounds like she did fab and avoided induction so big gold star for her. Hope little ones breathing picks up.

Hugs for allxxx

Totally knackered! Have named the baby Hebe Elizabeth . She swallowed some fluid and it's on her lungs so they are stabilizing her breathing. She is doing well though. 8 lbs 11 ! I am expressing like a mo fo! Nice three hour labour and water birth that bloody hurt! Never again . Have just resorted to private room as hackney postnatal is mental, people playing shite music on their phones at full blast is doing my head in! Right off to stare at my baby, want tocuddle her so badly.
