My little bro doesnt finish his GCSEs until 16th June so I dont mind waiting if I have to! But then my dad goes to Israel on 17th June so it would have to be before that. My cousin just text to say that her last exam (final year medical student) is on 17th and she wont be back until 18th so could I refrain from having the baby before she gets back. My midwife has said I wont have the baby whilst i'm still working which is atleast until next Thursday as I wont be in 'mummy mode'. I've been told by my mum that I cant her next Tuesday or Wednesday due to the tube strike.

Decisions, decisions!! I have a very confused little bump here and fear that she might just stay put for as long as possible just to spite everyone!!

DH watches some bl00dy rubbish - we've currently got Alexander the Great on Bravo! Before that it was TT racing and we've had a flick over to Thunderbirds.

Mind you, I've been watching the baby programmes on H&H and now scared myself! Get that epidural ready!

Best bit of advise I was given when pregnant with DD was not to watch anything to do with birth !!
Why do that to yourself ????????????

Searching I'm more fed of the waiting to be admitted/medicated. The BP is back down to just below raised (145/86) which is good, but it's just the waiting for things to go bonkers, and what would be even worse would be spending the next 12 weeks like this!!! That sounds bad!

And I just realised my last chem assessment is on Monday, not Tuesday and I have not got a clue about it as I missed most of the classes! Better get some study done then I can celebrate the end of college and get all house proud again!

Is it too early to make a christmas list? My vouchers arrive in November.

Oops.. Sami, was I supposed to tell everyone? How crap am I! I got a txt from Sami at half one saying she was in labour and another one at half six with a pic of the gorgeous Edgar (I'm special, clearly! ) He's a right bonnie little thing

Who suggested knocking off the births from over two weeks ago?! Rhys is three weeks old tomorrow! Pls can he stay until at least his due date? SB's Jamie was an honorary member for a while.. Rhys wants to be one too!

I've been to the breastfeeding class this morning. Got funny looks from just about everyone when I walked in without a bump but we explained and then everyone was just asking if he was okay etc Midwife said I am fine to take fenugreek so I've had 4 of the 6 tablets I can have daily already. Nurses up here told me to take Rhys' blanket with me when I next expressed and a combination of the blanket, two tablets, a litre of Ribena and a four hour break from expressing (duration of the class) and I got enough for the next five feeds. He's had two formula feeds this morning and thrown both of them back up Hopefully I'll get enough tonight to keep him going and my supply will come back up with the tablets and more fluid (that's more than I usually have, not that you have to have an excess - I just don't drink enough as it is). I've got the blanket here now and my boobs were tingling so much I had to move it away from me - "primative" as one of the nurses described it this morning, but it's the smell of him on it that helps as I can't do skin-to-skin yet.

OH's mum is here now (just waiting for her to go before I express again) then we're going to our house to plan out what we want in each kitchen cupboard and my mum is unpacking all the kitchen boxes tomorrow. My parents are coming later tonight too. Want to have a nap too somewhere in that plan!

Hope everyone is alright xx Searching, you want labour vibes yet?
