Apricot

I got my due date baby

Baby girl was born with just gas and air 27th July at 4.50pm weighing 7lb 7oz!

Everything started really quickly and shocked me tbh, first contraction at 11am and I was in hospital by 2pm 4cm dilated!

She is so gorgeous, I'm absolutely infatuated with her - will post a pic when I get on laptop (oh and defo sneak in the wipes - those first poos are horrendous - 3 complete outfit changes needed in the first 12 hours!)

Labour vibes to Abby and everyone else who wants them xx

Congratulations and well done Apricot!!

I took wipes in for the meconium poo too... and vaseline.. ... vaseline on clean bum... meconium comes off like a dream with baby wipe!

I wore disp. knix after the birth too.. for a couple of days.. but a size bigger than I needed.. eg.. I wear size 14-16 and bought 18-20

Congratulations Apricot :j

Thats it, I'm packing my bags tonight!!!! I need to stop procrastinating so much:o

Ecoelle, thats the same RLT that I've been drinking since 32ish weeks, I really like the taste of it but then I drink flavoured green tea usually. I've only really started getting period type pains this past week so not directly related to the RLT in my case anyway.

For those who prefer the capsules I noticed Holland & Barrett had them for half price when I was in today.

Is anyone taking/going to take arnica tablets? And if so any recomendations on where to get some? x

how many packets of maternity pads should i get? i've got one pack of 10 so far, will i need more? i almost screamed in horror when i saw how thick and long they are :eek: i hate sanitary towels at the best of times, but these are just :eek::eek::eek:

I've bought about 6 packs of 10, a mixture of Tesco Asda and Boots ones. I've no idea if thats too much or not but I do agree that they are pretty scary looking:)

Oh and good luck Abby. Hopefully the sweep will get things moving for you:D

Apricot congratulations!! My friend also had her due date baby today, hope this trend continues!!

As for RLT I didn't start until 37+ weeks. Not done anything for me. I bought the clipper tea bags from Tesco

All this talk of getting scans wrong has me worried lol!

Well they mustn't get it wrong very often otherwise they wouldn't tell folk at all.

I'm having a bad day already and it isn't even 8.30 I spent most of last night throwing up and have been sick again this morning I thought sickness was meant to get better but I'm almost 30 weeks now and it is showing no signs of improving I'm also getting a lot of heartburn and that is making me feel sick too. Really fed up now as I keep having to miss work (the last time I was in was Monday and I threw up 3 times in the office) and although work are being ok, I bet they're really not very happy

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time Mancbird. When I had MS I was fed up of people saying 'I thought it went at 12 weeks' or 'I never had MS',

My main bug bear was
'Try eating such and such';
'I can't it makes me sick;
'No really, try it, it worked for me';
'It makes me hurl';
'No seriously, just try it';
'!!!!!! off!!'
