I haven;t started on names yet - I've only just persuaded OH into a home birth. Gotta do it one thing at a time!

I asked OH about home birth the other day. I assumed he was totally against it, but he said that if my Mum agreed, he didn't have a problem with it. I'm going to ask today, see if my weight rules me out. I thought seeing as I'm going to try and go without any pain relief, why bother going to hospital?

And one of the first things I do once deciding on baby's name is create an email address for them! . Poppy sends pictures of herself to relatives around the globe and Jamie will too .

OH MY GOD.... i'll join your panic for you :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

(any exam results yet??? must say you are amazing doing exams when pregnant!!!)

Thanks - you're around about the same stage as me aren't you? Where'd the time go !!!!!! Only feels like a few weeks since my BFP!

Exam results due 20 January - if they are really good ot could take about 3 weeks off my due date:p !!! As for doing exams when pregnant - its amazing how much more relaxed i was about them knowing I had a much bigger priority to think about;)

Elle,

I am a big believer in Angels and would name my baby that (if it was a girl or somethign along 'angel' lines but i can't find any suitable).

How about Angelica?

Hi Lucifa 73 me too my EDD is a couple of days after you. Though i`m think its going to be the end of January looking at me.

What have you packed in your hospital bag. ? I need to get some cheapie knickers and a large t- shirt for giving birth. Anyone come up with a definitive list ?

Same here. I was worrieda bout mess but the home birth thread has persuaded me and my MW is keen. I also think I might do the Lotus birth thing with the placenta and I'd need to be at home to do that (although I may just leave it a long time before cutting the cord, I'm not sure yet).

morning - or rather afternoon!

I am sooooo tired, yet sleep is a totally elusive thing. I just can't get comfortable in bed and poor hubbie is beside himself! I finally got to sleep in the spare room about 3.30am this morning, but conversely slept through the alarm and missed my antenatal class Oh wellll.......

have a MW appoitment on Friday am, so I'm sure she'll fill me in then. I feel very guilty, but know that even if I had woken up and made it then I wouldn't have been able to digest any information/participate.

just want a hug and to go back to sleep.....

The problem with marrying a man who's Mother suffered Munchaussens(sp) by proxy is that he thinks you need medical intervention for just about everything... I'm quite glad he wasn't with me when I mentioned labouring at home to the consultant registrar... If he's heard the 20minute rant that ended with the words 'you have a matter of moments before your baby would die' then I think he would of had me admitted there and then for the duration.... He's assuming I'll be heading into hospital at the first twinge... I keep telling him that if I choose to go to hospital then it will be when I'm pushing and not before!

I'm the same as you FG, I'm hoping for no pain relief so whats the point in taking up a bed?

I've been reading up on SPD, and supposedly a lot of women find it actually helps - you sort of get used to the pain, and labour isn't such a big deal!

Anyone know what they do at the Consultant appointment? No idea why I've got one, I'm 'high risk' because of my weight and mental health problems.
