    Afternoon all,

    Yorky I think I know the book you're talking about - they had them at the hospital when we were there for our 20 week scan, I took one :) & the health visitor brought round the next one that follows from birth to 5 the other day, so yeah, I think you can take them!

    Som how was the MW? Is little lady any further engaged? Fab news on extra £s too, always a bonus!

    Lots of labour vibes EA! How exciting :D

    Congrats Nikkit he's lovely & a lovely name too :)

    Baby clothes have been washed in the same stuff we use for ourselves here, if he reacts to it then I guess I'll buy non bio then! Seems too much of a faff - I'd be doing so many seperate loads if I tried to use one for him and one for us.

    BSM brill that the HIPG went in so quickly :D

    Not much going on here, miserable weather so have been in all day :( Watched a couple of films and had a bath, put a hair mask in, face mask on and am gonna sort out my nails. Started to get texts asking if baby is here yet already - yes, he's here, I'm just not bothering to tell anyone. Dread to think what it'll be like if I go overdue!

    Made a few plans to keep me sane for the next week or so, is it horrid to hope I'll have to cancel them all? :D
    Baby Boy arrived March 25th 2010 - 17 days late & 8lb 10oz :j
  • Nikkit he is soooo cute well done :j:j:j

    It just made me cry a little bit.

    my bean seems happy to still be inside with his foot under my rib.:(

    Som Please everything is ok:T

    E/A Hope its starting for you is it a throbing pain or a period type cramp. because im get a throbing in my back and a period type cramp at the front.:o

    Im so hungry i cant stop eatting just done online shopping couldnt face going outside or getting dressed.

    Oh and the very hot curry thing dont work just burns yeh bum the next day:rotfl:

    Think i will stalk facebook for a bit
    :jBaby Finley :j

    Yeah Mamas and Papas send you a £5 voucher if you order their catalgoue

    Som did you discuss with the MW if you are still here next week (not that I hope you are lol) or do they wait till we hit 40 weeks then decide what to do with us?

    Ohhhhh EA lol :) what else did they say?? are you measrung ok? is she engaged more? what kind of pain is it please? Has Lily been quiter today than normal?

    Pains have subsided for a bit now but i can still feel the pressure :(
    Having small pains in my back to, but i've always had back pain so i dont know the difference lol

    MW said they might subside and come back within a few hours, so heres hoping :D

    At first i thought i had a stitch, it was in my side almost and then the pain went round to the front. I dont really know what period pain feels like, i never had it lol.

    Im measuring 37cm now, and baby is more engaged but not to sure how many 5ths as MW said she doesn't do it by 5ths :confused: but she said her head is further in and you cant move it about like last time.

    But i have another appointment next week if i dont give birth by then :D

    Think i might rub more of my oils in and eat my other pinapple later :D
  • I don't think anyone saw my post a couple million pages back :D

    Why do people want the cord to keep pulsing after the baby is born? What are the benefits?
