Congratulations!
Whenever I get broody we go to places where there will be lots of kids running around and it seems to dispate rapidly!! I'm worn out looking at them!0 -

I was in slow labour for 5 days and was absolutely desperate. Everything had stopped again!!! I had read about nipple stimulation but didn't fancy it. Anyway in desperation we tried it ( DH did it) and within 10 minutes I had the most enormous contraction and was rushing to hospital. It must be done very firmly, rolling the nipples in thumb and forefinger for quite a length of time. I didn't find it pleasant and found it quite uncomfortable but it worked. I would say it's definitely worth giving it a try.
Let us know how you get on. Good luck with everything.

My daughter just had a baby and found the tens machine really helpful-a little miracle she said.You probably know you can hire them from Boots for £20-£25 for 6 weeks.For use during labour.0

Having a really stressfull day, my step daughter lives with us for the last 2 years she is 14 and we get on really well, but last night she wanted to go out and her dad said no because she has exams all week. When i went to her room she had snuck out and hasnt been home all night. She sent me a message saying she was fine, but iam so stressed..She ranaway once before to go see some boy and when she came back there were no real concquences, i think she is just used to getting her own way. We have called the police just waiting to see whats going to happen next..If this doesnt make me go into labour nothing will, really don't no what to do about her?People who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones...
It is much easier to see other people's failings than our own.0 -
Don't stress too much,at least she's let you know shes o.k.
Don't forget she's only a kid(even though at that age I was an adult,in my mind).
Don't forget she will be full of mixed feelings about the new baby,she probably cant figure them out herself,never mind translate to you how she's feeling,and with the stress of up coming exams aswell... She might be feeling like she's always been the kid,and now Dads going to have a brand new cuter model,she won't be as special to him anymore.
She shouldn't of snook out,and it was very selfish to leave you worrying in your condition(but kids dont see things like that-grown ups have kids,whats the big deal?)but I'd be inclined to say don't be too harsh on her make sure she's feeling like part of the new group.If you all fall out now,and baby comes along,and things are already rocky,she might find it harder to bond with her new brother/sister.And it might be tricky to ever put things right
But if you two can handle it well,she will feel a bit silly for being so thoughtless,but extremely loved and wanted,and be able to welcome the new edition to the family happlily with you-does that make sense?Has she had any involvment in preparing for the new one?Maybe she could help you chose something for it,and feel like she has something to look forward to also.
I know when I was that age there were plenty of times I just had to get out of my parents house,whether they said I couldn't or not.0 -
