Congrats Charlton! Glad you both well and at home

It doesn't feel right that its only 97 days until baby is due. Probably cause its still only 2009 and she's not due unitl 2010. But still, its weird to be in double figures now.

OH thinks she's going to come early, i hope so I dont want to go overdue lol

hi everyone! Just dropping in to say that caitlyn macnaughton was born on friday morning (27 november) at 10.52am and weighed 9lb.

Will compose birth story when i have time..but in short went into labour on wednesday evening, and was fine until they had to break my waters on late thursday evening. Then the contractions suddenly became so frequent and painful i wasn't coping too well. Had an epidural which made things alot easier....but ended up with a c section as she didn't show any inclination of wanting to come into the world (she never even made it near my birth canal apparently!). But all ended well...and we got home late last night! I'm one chuffed mummy! :d

:jCONGRATULATIONS:j

In my baby book i was reading the other day, someone suggested that if you stand up straight and fold your arms under your chest and lift that sometimes helps, as it gives baby maximum space.

Or kneeling on all fours to 'drop' baby away from your lungs.

Hope it helps

Woohoo! Plug in the nursery has been fixed

And Nicholas Cage named his son Kal-El (supermans real name)

Hi everyone, today is my due date but I have had no signs yet so it will definitely be a December baby. We have kept the sex a surprise so we have both boy and girls names: Evie Grace and Ethan Dominic
What do you think?

Like EA said, I've also read that going on all fours helps because then the baby's not squashing your lungs too much! HTH...

And it promotes getting in the right position

Get some cushions though for your knees, floors are never comfy
