Good for you! Positive mental attitude. Maybe just see it as one tool in a tool box. Whatever you can get out of it will help, no one says you have to go the whole hog, and have no intervention or pain relief.
Just feeling better prepared and more relaxed helps deal with the unexpected stuff that happens.

Due to my high BMI, i cant have a homebirth/water birth, so i'm prepared for that. I'm just keeping an open mind other than that. I'm not pro or anti pain relief, so i'll go with the flow. I'd like to be able to keep mobile enough to change positions, if i can walk around as well, bonus. If the CD's can help me to stay relaxed enough to take it as it comes, then great!

Feeling positive about it already! I dont think im worried about the birth yet as I just havent allowed myself to think that far ahead yet....11 weeks to go and I really should start thinking, so hope this will help!

Haha no worries hun! Am glad it was someone from here who snapped them up, if I'd got a spare £30 it would have been me! Am sure there will be another set on there at some point!

Im 28 + 5 tomorrow - have my midwife appointment and need to have my 1st O neg injection - anyone had one yet if they needed them? Where about do they inject you and does it hurt? Blood tests havent bothered me in the slightest neither did the flu jab so hope its similar

They now do it in your arm, my first baby I had 2 and they did those in my buttocks! They now only do one and that was in my arm, it only nips a little, nothing to worry about!

oooh money honey, gorgeous!!!

Ok have repacked my case, although I seem to have packed way more than I had!!!! Which wasnt the intention. In my case I already had:

2 packs of maternity pads
1 pack of size 1 nappies
mini pot of sudocreme
small back of water wipes
3 bibs
2 burping clothes
2 nighties
1 button down vest top
1 bikini top
make up
toiletries
breast pads
slippers
fan
trackies
big t-shirt
deodorant for OH
T-shirt for OH
blanket
towel
towel for baby
earplugs
lipbalm

Things I have added, another towel for me, another nightie, my dressing gown, and here is where it gets silly 3 tiny baby vests, 3 sleepsuits, 1 hat and scratch mits and one tiny cardi, along with 4 newborn vests, 4 sleepsuits 2 hats and scratch mits and a cardi...... and 3 big newborn vests, 3 sleepsuits, 1 hat and scratch mits and a cardi. My case is so so full that I had to sit on it to close it..... not sure I need the big newborn stuff, but I'm worried baby is going to be huge, or that I might be early and it might be tiny!!!! Have actually had to sit on my suitcase to close it, it's not good is it, think I might need to rethink it again

God I have been so so hungry today, all I've done is eat!!

:TYaaaay OH has just rung, haven't spoken to him for ages, and haven't been able to get emails for a few days either, so that was a very nice suprise

i hired mine from tesco paid £27.50 and you get it for 4 weeks but even if you go over your due date and are late taking it back they dont charge you any extra.

i fount it really quite helpful in the early stages of labour



for anyone who has given birth latley and got the bounty packs with coupons for £2 off any pampers products in them. boots have some pampers sensitive wipes, 6 packs at half price £3.74 so once you use a voucher its £1.74 for 6 packs. hth

Many, many congratulations to the new Mummies!!!!

Next time the list is updated could my Team Yellow be updated to Team Pink?

We folded like a cheap suit the minute the Sonographer told us he had a good view and did we want to know? :rotfl:

I watched an episode of OBEM last night, the first time since getting PG - OMG those babies look BIG now!!!!! :eek::eek:

Thanks
