    Why do they do that? One would think we know when something that big is on it's way out of there:eek:

    Hope you don't mind me spilling the beans. x

  • That is why i don't want a 3rd. I was only in hospital half an hour before my DS2 was born, and he was the same - start to finish less than 3 hours, and them saying oh, don't come in. It will take ages.

    To say he was 9Ib2, he fairly shot out too. DH nearly passed out from shock compared to the 1st time round. he knew then why i was saying don't leave me - get me some pain relief.

    Welcome to the world little Ava. I hope you are less trouble to your mummy now you are here. ;)

    Congratulations lilac - what a relief to you it is all over. You home now then?
