Its Wednesday again! OBEM time.

[BarnYardCow]

Have we any new arrivals since last week?

2cats, was just thinking that myself!

The father of the baby. He's Egyptian. Or at least that's where they met.

ARM = artificial rupture of membranes. They basically break your waters with a crochet hook (if you're sufficiently dilated)

Artificial rupture of membranes

Artificial Rupture Of Membranes...I had it with DS1 and wa sexpecting it to be painful but was lovely

I may be out of order here - but is there perhaps a connection between son's anger issues and father's anger issues?

Shurrup now, moany man.

Oldraver arf at sexpecting

Does he have to go because of the other children?

dont they understand emergency!

They are still bleeting on.

Was thinking the same thing louiswalsh!!

Father is a nobber

Think Rachel's baby's father is Eqyption and wantes to come over for her Mum's wedding Twelve

Why do they always end up lying on the bed?

I may not be a parent yet but those bedtime issues don't sound like they stem from the SN - don't most small children play up at bedtime, particularly when there's other upheaval?

Does anyone really expect that when they go in for a section it will be done there and then?

And does he think that by saying he has to go they will suddenly whip her in?

Gahhhh I hate this culture around childbirth that makes you think you're "soft" if you have an epidural I stupidly bought into it

Childbirth for lots of women is fucking awful!! Epidurals are proof that humans are civilised IMO

Getting, there are degrees of 'playing up', though.

They are so negative it's getting me down

I'd have given him a GA too. By fucking dart gun, a few hours ago.

I am sure you are right, Tepid and I imagine that if you start sleep deprived everything looks bleak from the start which doesn't help.

They tape your eyes shut?! (Noob here)

Arf Louis.
