I'm having a DFW baby!!

Snaggles

The midwife made me lie on my back for the whole 9 hours last time - not a chance of that this time, I'm going to be up and doing star jumps to get her out quicker if I have MY way lol!

I would have quite liked a homebirth, but I'm a bit too much of a coward. I don't want an epidural, but at the same time, I want to be able to change my mind if it hurts too much

Oh no, does that mean I talk too much???

You do, but that mustn't be an indication of it because I have it too.

I was into an epidural the second time - was (in my mind) shouting for epiurdal - then realised with horrr that I would have to be still and sit up fr it - and in my mind i was like f**k!!

But all was good Big boy but once his head was out I was happy They hd to then actually ask me out push the rest of him out!!

God, i hope I have another.

Btw my mate is hoping for a VBAC so wishing big labour starting vibes right now!!

I had an epidural with DS but it didn't work properly, and they made me let it wear off when the time came for pushing (now that's just mean!).

I hated trying to stay still while they put it in, and can still remember the pain of the needle going in. I had local anasthetic first, but again, it didn't seem to work.

This time, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a 2 hour labour, with a little whiff of gas and air, no stitches and back home in time for tea! You've got to be optimistic haven't you??

your a mad manic loving it i'm a good bit away from you will need to chat more to catch up ..how you feeling ?

Snaggles

You're not that far off though! I've been online most of the day for the last few days because I've been stuck at home feeling cack......thought it would be nice to spend the time with DS but he gets bored of me too quickly and wants to go out playing with his friends or watch Power Rangers lol!

I think I'm starting to feel a little bit better thanks - how are you, are the night shifts going okay?

elantan

i'm finally done till next friday thankfully they were tiring this time ..i'm doing ok but my lawn mower broke today ...just my luck ...not long to go now you getting excited?

Snaggles

Oh don't remind me - our lawns (3 of the bloody things - the joys of a corner plot :rolleyes:) need mowing desperately. It's like a jungle outside our house.

I AM quite excited, although I really want to shift this cold before she decides to come out. Can you imagine....
