Don't forget everyone

that sicky feeling does NOT go away

I must have missed the bulk-buy sperm conversation, damn!

Mid contraction and she actually doesn't want a fag

no not judgy - i cant stand to see pregnant women smoking either

oh FGS she's being silly now

Yes, but if you're needlephobic, then it's never 'just a scratch' because your anticipation of this terrifying thing just amps everything up.

Actually, I really feel sorry for her. If you're phobic, you're phobic.

lol at 'well that's something'

£1000! Sperm must be gold-plated.

That sicky feeling grips you and doesn't let go. I tried gas and air, made me retch and I gave up in the end.

Made me feel out of control. Eugh.

Are you on that gas n air again books?

wotcha SOH.

Only 15 more mins.

I remember, after a 36 hour labour giving birth to DS, I was given an injection to deliver the placenta and I actually said "Ouch, that hurts!"

I don't get it:

her 'It hurts'

MW 'shall I get the Anathetist?'

he 'I won't be able to sit still'

MW 'We'll turn the drip down and make it less painful'

DOH, now there's an idea........

I puked as soon as I sat down on the labour ward. I hadnt even touched the gas and air at that point!

wotcha Meggle my love.

would she be able to keep still long enough for an epidural though the way she jumped when they did the one in her hand?

Isnt it vital you keep still that they get it in the right place?

i am and also a fair bit at all this 'offering' of epidurals...

not in any birth room I have been in (despite begging pleading swearing kindly requests)

DH swears his stubbed toe hurt more than the contraction I was experiencing as I vociferously swore at him for complaining.

When I had dd2 I was on a drip and they tried to give me an epidural but I couldn't keep still long enough for them to do it safely. So in the end just had gas &air.

i was offered epidurals in both my labours, and i refused them both times.

I needed an epidural and had to wait hours. Anaesthetist was v busy. Seem more available here.
