sammy massive labour vibes for today in that case x

Sorry been away for my computer for 3 days and theres far too much to catchup on.

I went to a house sale last weekend in my village and bought a Phill & Ted's pushchair, with double attachment and over £200 of accessories for £50 :D:D:D:D
Ive washed it once and will be washing it again tomorrow, its come up really well. Just needs new innertubes.

Thats my bargain hunting over for a while I think.


Gratz on those that have had their babies.
Hope those overdue ladys get their mummy cuddles asap.

pigpen so if she says no I may aswell just take that? movement atm from baby is hurting alot.. its like his bum pokes out the top of bump.. but down there.. I am presuming its my cervix? but it really hurts like a stabbing pain. It feels like he is stabbing it with a knife! its not every time he moves but id say 50%.. and I have had about 50 braxton hicks today. some are getting really uncomfy x

no.. you argue your point and don't back down.. unless she has a check and says cervix is very firmly closed and she cannot do it you do not back down...

OOh im so jealous Edge ive just paid nearly £400 for my Phill & Teds:eek: Mind you i have just seen a pink cacoon for it and im very tempted but its £60 OUCH!!

ok so I was going to get a petite star zia but on netmums someone locally is selling a urban detour 3 wheeler which I know I like for only £25! Is there something in particular I should look out for when I go have a look at it? Would be an absolute bargain if its ok. Now we have the zafira we don't neccessarily need a pushchair that folds really small so I'm not too worried about the size of the urban detour now.

Massive Congrats Bexta on your little girl!! Good to hear your water birth was a success, I am aiming for one of these but apparently the hosp I am going to only has one pool, and the labour ward is massive so I cant see me getting it!

Am starting to consider asking if I can give birth at my local hospital, its 10 minutes drive from my house, more likelyhood of having a water birth and 6 hour discharge so I could get out of there pretty quick! Does anyone know if I have any choice being as I am being referred to a bigger further away hospital as I am 'high risk'? I have few health probs, and also react badly to certain painkillers/ anaesetics?

Smartie: Sorry to hear your feeling carp *hugs* are you going to have a 3D scan?

Pigpen: I hope you dont leave this forum too soon- we need you!!!

Kitkat have you asked if they allow you to take your own birth pool, I know going back to when i had DS1 it was the only way to get a water birth as hospitals just didnt have pools back then they may still allow it.

As for the other hospital you can choose where to go but it would depend on what exactly you are classed as high risk for if the hospital you want to go to does not have the facilities to cope with your conditions i think they can refuse to admit you. I would have a long and frank talk to your midwife and find out exactly what they think could go wrong and if the closer hospital can cope, if it can then you can insist you go there. They cant force you to go where you dont want to if its just for their convinience.

Good morning ladies!

Labourvibes to those in need!

Am very jealous of the phil and ted bargain... have started eyeing those up since finding out am expecting.

DD1 decided that she didnt need sleep last night..... as she has decided to do every sunday night. Only mild annoyance is that I only work mondays and tuesdays!! hurumph!
