On the way home. There was a misunderstanding with the doctor and nurse. He said we could go home but the nurse thought he said we couldn't.

So so happy!!!

:) Kayz

Sadly with regards to bf and weight loss I have pretty much reached the critical point where I'm not feeding enough to able to continue eating like I'm feeding a newborn.

JamInMyWellies · 27/12/2013 13:30

Kayz thats great news!

I cant wait to start exercising properly again. Feel immensely flabby. I have just eaten for lunch half an avocado with prawns and then followed it up with toast and fois gras then finished off with some parma ham. I also made a batch of tablet and have consumed most of it myself. Is it any wonder this baby is not coming out its feasting on lots of lovely food.

I will need to feed for approx 5yrs to lose all this weight.

Managed to drag myself down to see my sister and her family in Kent and went straight to bed when I arrived. she had to look after my children. oops. Am tucked up in bed now too.

RTjoke · 28/12/2013 09:10

Not enough updates Jam! Indulge us with a live labour thread.

JamInMyWellies · 28/12/2013 09:15

Still pretty sore and inconsistent. Seem to get 2 pretty much on top of each other then nothing for half hr or so.

Bit boring really not the speedy birth I had with DS2.

Indith · 28/12/2013 09:19

All good though, just keep pottering along. Smile

RTjoke · 28/12/2013 09:26

Bounce on your ball with legs apart. I swear I bounced DS down and out. So exciting! Are the boys still with you?

sybilfaulty · 28/12/2013 09:57

Oh, good luck, darling, I hope it gets going in earnest soon and that your fine young fellow is here shortly. I have only done one labour which was not the model of a good birth so I won't offer advice, just lots of love and dilating vibes for your cervix. Go Jammy! XXX

JamInMyWellies · 28/12/2013 10:52

Since my last message it's been a bit fast. Went to shower and have had another massive spoldge of show then one ever 5 mins.

Have just packed the boys off to my friends.

Back on the ball eating a banana.

Indith · 28/12/2013 10:54

How do you get notifications Rubes?

JustRubes · 28/12/2013 11:14

when you click on threads you are watching, there's an option at the top to get notifications or not. It's via email so I just delete it as soon as it comes in otherwise I'd be swamped
