    Don't forget ladies... M&S sale starts tomorrow. Lots of little ickle cutie wutie baby clothes on offer hopefully ;)

    I already got the most cute dungerees set a while ago and I don't know about the rest of their clothing but it's 0-3 and looks quite small. So might be a good idea to go for a bit bigger sizes :)

    On a bad day I think it'll take about 45 mins to get to hospital... or longer:eek:

    We have plenty of practise runs to time it anyway!:rotfl:

    I'll get so used to the delivery suite and staff... and I bet I don't manage to get to hospital on time to use it properly!!

    RLT is supposed to make it all quicker isn't it??? I didn't take mine today as I thought I'd better not:o

    Yeah it's meant to help with the contractions. THought I better stay well away from that stuff.

    Will you go down the "Atlantic Highway" (Crap name) or try to go fremmington way? You could always get the helicopter to come pick you up ;)

    Smartie - I am excited about marks and spencer sale very sad isnt it - I prob have same dungaree set as you in white from last sale (my due date was 2nd sept but now having c-section 26th aug) as didnt know what we were having at the time but know its a boy now.

    Marks and spencer newborn is smaller than supermarket stuff and is upto 7.5lb I think (which is most places small/tiny baby) but they do a sz upto 1mth which is upto 9lb i think and same size as supermarket newborn. - hope that helps a bit.

    Mothercare have some cute bits also and clothing sale stuff is buy one get one half price.

    I am glad I only have 2 days to go at work feeling really tired go to be at 10pm ish up at 12,2,4,6 for toilet then get up at 7 for work very annoying but no point laying there trying to sleep when need the loo, suffering from bad leg cramps and hip/back pain - aquanatal today didnt even help. I am hoping it gets better and with not having to be up and at work from next week should be able to get in some afternoon naps!!

    Depends on DH's mood:rotfl:

    Sometimes it's easier for us to go "the old way" if it's busy this end. But of course whatever way you go if you get stuck behind a tractor that's it... 10 MPH!!

    The other week on the way to hospital there were sheep and little lambs on the link road so police had to slow everyone down:eek::rotfl:It's all action here ladies!;):p:D

    well with ds2 I stupidly listened to Labour ward telling me to wait until the contractions were 3 mins apart before coming in. Not this time! I will go when I want to and stuff it if they don't like it lol! Last time my OH was very worried I was going to give birth in the car. Made it to Labour ward at 2.10am and baby came at 2.20am. But then if he is a moan like he was earlier today I might enjoy making him have to deliver the baby :D

    smartie glad it went ok, good job you started your leave nice and early.

    budgetblonde listen to your body and make a fuss!

    My poor sister is having awful sickness this time around. Her little boy keeps seeing her throw up and stroking her head, bless him!

    sir monster - not sure what you decided in the end but there's a moses basket for £10 on sale on bromley netmums, and another for £20 with a rocking stand (p2 and p3 i think). btw was wondering if your DH ever said anything about the pictures?!

    My second labour was an hour longer than the first... 15 1/2 hours and 16 1/2 hours... Although 2nd stage was probably about 5mins second time around lol...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I'm tenth now if i dont include the overdue ladies i can't believe how quickly august is coming around. I only need to make it to the 4th to get my home birth which is exactly 14days away after that she can come out whenever she likes infact it is my mission to get her out asap from that date.

    She still appears to be moving up and down in my pelvis and last night i had some more painfull tightenings i'm trying to relax and remain calm about them though what will be will be and me panicing over it isnt gonna change a thing.

    I cant stand M&S its a fioble i picked up when i was young as my mother used to drag me round there for hrs & hrs on a weekend and the place used to give me headaches i still cant stay in there for longer than about 10 mins without my head pounding and the stuck up old bags who have shopped there for the last 50yrs do my flaming head in as well.

    On a happier note i keep being offered seats on the bus now i must look like im going to pop any second i dont know whats come over people round here they normally dont give a damn. It must be the silver lining on looking so huge ;-D
