    Hi ladies quick question for you - I just wondered is it true that because we are carrying the baby for 9 months, that when he/she is born we are able to carry them in our arms for much longer than OH or anyone else? I heard that it built up your core strength and hope this is true, as I am only petite and worried about not being able to carry him for long.

    No.. though it is easier when they are a bit bigger and you can pop them on your hip.. men can't carry them like that.. OH can carry Squeak for miles and miles.. I manage about 10 yards and she is killing me1

    Hi Teenie that made me laugh - wow I am appreciating not having them for now, 3 more months of money saving he he... labour viibes your way by the way!

    Thanks PigPen, ah that's a shame, I thought it might help having carried him for 9 months, guess not...

    Bad Sparkle had a McDonalds chicken burger and chips for lunch... OH didn't resist either though... trying to drink lots of fluids and have some fruit this afternoon to make up for it, though M&M's are getting in the way :rotfl:

    Well we are close to having decided on his name I think, we're saying it out loud this week instead of Sweetpea, seeing how it fits.

    Ooh I am first on the list after the boldies! :eek::D

    Been having a lot of crampy period pains and lower back ache. Had a bath earlier and it seems to have settled them down. Did a bit too much yesterday as felt compelled to plant up one of my fish tanks :rotfl: Everyone on the fish forums I go on think I am mad, as did the woman in LTSB when I went in to change my address :rotfl:So felt really rough last night. I think it was me nesting in a way.

    Had several knife-like pains in my foof as well today, which are ouchy. As well as the 'fist through the foof' pains I've been having on and off for a few weeks.
    *TMI* Not had a show yet but plenty of discharge, and 'special poos' this morning. All good signs, and I hope this baby comes soon. I am fed up being in pain and discomfort and want my body back and a fully functioning pelvis, please. Oh and minus the huge feet! LOL. Got MW Thursday if he hasn't arrived by then, and will probably ask for a sweep. I don't like the idea at all, but really can't believe it to be anymore uncomfortable than what I've already had.

    Massive congratulations to Charlie, what a gorgeous little boy hun, and to M&M :D

    Labour vibes to Nic, Teenie and VB :cool:

    Not going to OH's parents for dinner tonight as feel antisocial, so we're having home cooked chicken curry and will watch Corrie in peace - gotta make the most of it!

    I cannot WAIT for a glass of Rose and really, really fancy a Stella Artois :D:D:D
