Gemma i used the Veet cream about a week before due date but went 9 days over and by that time it had already grown back a bit but it didn't even cross my mind at the time lol. At least it was tidy though, i imagine some people are so hairy you can't tell if the baby has hair til it's completely out :rotfl: Oh it's crowning and has lots of hair. Oh wait, no it doesn't. _pale_

I'm 5'1" and quite small framed. My DS was 6lb 6oz and i had quite a few stitches nothing too major though.
DD was 7lb 3oz and i had none but i think i needed one She reckons it's gonna heal on its own though.

With DD the only reason i didn't tear much was cos i listened to the mw and didn't push when she said lol. With DS i pushed him out too fast for the skin to keep up.

Arghhh, I'm pulling my hair out now!
It's DD1 11th birthday friday and I have purposely waited til kids go back to school to get presents food for sleepover etc and they went back yesterday but dd2 was off sick now today we have like 6 in of snow and it's only getting worse.Kids are at home and I have no idea what I am going to do. At this rate she'll have NO presents (we did buy her a mobile last weekend which she already has as she chose it) but I can not let it get to fri morn and have nothing for her to open
DH was going to try drive us down to ASDA later when he gets back cos I daren't drive in this with kids in car as my car revs more than a rally car and that's in good conditions. But if this carries on even that might not happen.

Sorry to rant.
Hope everyone is keeping safe and warm.
Come on baby PP x

Gemma - my Very order turned up a few hours agao too, and like you am chuffed with my baragains, did you get any xmas baby stuff?

Beenie - will deffinatley be like you and doing what MW says, really hate the idea of tearing.

Just debating when tomorrow I should start my RLT, ooh its sad but am excited about it. I know the calcium and Arnica are used when in labour, but does anyone know when's best to start EPO and any advice on whats better oral or pessary? Also another Q anyone know when is best to start perineal massage?

AAWWW PP are you trying to get into the record books for the longest labor:eek:

Glad you are well but we were all hoping you would be home with bubs, Lots of vibes for you and have a hug too! X

BeenieCat

PP good to hear from you but obv not that you're still preggers

Hurry up at the shop and tell us what happened at hospital. And take it easy for gawds sake, it's hard enough trekking anywhere in this weather without being in labour :eek:

Som, I started mine from 34 weeks personally but obviously advice varies based on who you talk to:

Weeks 34-35, 1-2/day orally
Weeks 36-37, 2/day orally, insert 1 capsule at night (I did on nights we didn't DTD so not every single one, but I know some ladies have)
Weeks 38+, 3-4/day orally, insert 1 at night as above.

Hello

Went to the bank today to put some money in, thought i would risk it. Loads of shops are shut due to adverse weather conditions lol.
Its so snowy and icy out. I made it to the bank at 1:50pm and they were due to shut at 2pm, lucky

Then went for a McDonalds

I usually have BH when i walk long distances, and today i got them whilst walking. So i had to try and breath through the pain of them whilst trying not to slip up, which i did loads of times. But i didn't actually fall over

OH managed to hold onto me everytime i slipped lol. My feet were soaked by the time we got home.

PP, glad you and baby are ok, but boo to the hospital for sending you home with no baby
