Meet your new friends

hello tmp... welcome to mn

Wow Lio - that's quite a thread there - got stuck into reading that... plus talk of 1 hour labours - where can I get me one of those?! (dd was about 10 hours, but spent about 18hours before that turning around - ouch!)
so this time around we're going for a homebirth, got my huge inflatable pool thing at the ready...

You don't wanna be on this site then. Its really boring and completely Un-addictive! No-one argues, no-one flounces, quite dull really!
Hello & welcome!

You need to make yourself known to Lulumama, she's gagging for an online birth thread!

hello & welcome - good luck for the waterbirth [jealous emoticon]

wow not long now then, opps hello

Hey, I had a home birth second time around too - 2 hour labour, go on, you can do it

Well i practically had dd at home - went in an was sent home (after the first 18 hours thing) told to come back when my waters broke... but that was at about 8 cm... so only 2 hours in hospital.

Didn't get a waterbirth that time due to meconium in my waters, so gagging to try it this time!

everyone should have waterbirth! mine was great was in pool for 10.10pm gave birth at 12.51am, was soooo relaxed in the pool with just gas and air and i was sleeping in labour even through contractions!!!
Good luck its getting close so excited for you

elsie that sounds fabulous! getting pretty excited about it now - and the prospect of meeting the little one, of course!

how old's your baby now? were you at home for the birth or in hospital?

Top tip: Stock up on bogroll, you're going to get through a lot over the next few weeks so look out for special offers and buy loads.

and none of that scratchy recycled stuff either, eh? ...

Nouvelle isn't scratchy! It's lovely and costs less than Andrex , don't know why it's not more popular.

my baby was one last week i was at hospital it hadnt been discussed with cmw when i got in i was asked if i would like to give it a try i wasnt going to say no left two mw headless in assessment, made porter walk up the stairs!(6 lots 3floors)
Good luck been looking at tiny babies today in baby clinic (3-9weeks)
enjoy your me time!!!
