I was OK about the first bit. TBH From 1am til 5.30am I was contracting irregularly say every 7 minutes but not lasting a full minute and managed with some paracetamol, it was only from 5.30am to 6.20am that they got more intense and more frequent but I was dropping off between each one. It was only because I heard the assistants filling up the water jugs during one contraction and then dishing them out during another that I thought I better time them - 3 minutes!

I was pretty scared when they rushed me up to the delivery suite - the MW was literally running down the corridor pushing me in a wheelchair. Then got really scared when the MW left me at 7am to change shift and the moron that came in to watch the monitor said 'Oh, there's a problem with baby's heartbeat, I'll be right back' and left me on my own! Cue lots of tears and OH walking through the door to me crying 'There's a problem with the baby' - when new MW came in she quickly reassured me but for that time from being examined at 6.20am til just gone 7am I have never felt so alone and scared

That does sound scary. Although OH wasn't there, I did have (at least) two midwives with me all the time. Feel guilty that I hogged so many people!

Elle, is it your local mumsnet/netmums that you saw one for £120? I'd really love a linkie/phone/number or sommat if not! Also going to PM sarah joanne.

Erm, SJ or anyone else, I'm afraid I don't actually know SJs birth story because I've been avoiding birth stories for a bit after reading a horrendous one and scaring myself too much. So it may well be that it could be a bad idea to ask SJ for hers, in which case I am hugely sorry, but I think I'm going to go for it anyway?:)

Overthinking it weezl?

Heavens yes!

Got you here first! Yes I was in the pool for the majority but after way too long pushing I got out to be examined and bubs had turned :eek: so off to hospital we went.

Pool was fab though. I'm happy to lend you mine if you cover the cost of getting it to you and then back to me but I never fixed the puncture in the top ring. The heat cover also had a puncture but not so important and we managed to "fix" that with parcel tape . You would just need to buy a liner for it.

I am going to get around to writing my birth story soon before the memoru fades. If I've still not done it by next week can someone remind me please?!

Thank you! What's a liner and how do I get one?:o:) Guessing the top ring puncture is a very slow one if you laboured mostly in the pool?

Sorry things went horrid at the end.

Hello :hello:

That walking 6 month old baby reminds me of my cousin, who walked the day before she turned 7 months :eek: I was babysitting at the time and nobody believed me cos she didnt do it again for another month

After just over a week of Seth waking every 2-3 hours through the night, he slept from 8pm til 7pm this morning? Odd baby. I am not going to argue though :rotfl:

Big news here - after lots of deliberation and talking it through last week while OH was on holiday, we have decided that if OH's work agrees to cut his hours, we will do a complete role reversal, I will go back to work full time and OH will stay at home with Seth and work part time hours. We will be better off financially by £200-£300 a month, and Seth is better behaved on Daddy Days. Oddly, I really am ok with it, the only reason I didnt want to go back full time is cos I didnt want Seth to be mostly brought up by CM, so providing it doesnt mean he will be going to the CM more I am happy

How is everyone? Have I missed any gossip?

Grrr at hospital appointments :cool: Was just having the nicest cuddle with Rhys and now have had to put him down so I can get ready to go out

Yeah it was a slow one. DH topped it up not long before I got in it and I think that lasted us. I was in it from 5pm til maybe 11.30pm-ish

You could feel that the top ring wasn't as firm but it wasn't too bad.

Thanks. It was hard mentally as I was fully dilted by 9pm but didn't progress from there. MW kept saying how it wouldn't be long and still nothing happened. It was hard to keep going when I felt like it wasn't making any difference (and in fact it wasn't making any difference!!)

Tara, Bliss were pretty useless, they said it's common practice not to provide food, which from the other thread we know to be false. They did say that if your DD needs support to call them, and if you want I can forward the email by PM.

hi em

that sounds fun with OH at home all day - will he do all the housework as well?
OH wonders how I manage to get anything done when I'm home with J's attention span!

SJ - writing it all down might help you get your head around it all

Weezl - yay for sorting a pool :j
