That's fantastic news BM, huge congratulations to you and your OH and little Betsy! Sounds like a perfect labour and birth!

Take care xx

Congrats Blue Monkey, a teeny little girl by the sounds of things! xx

Warning. OH Moan ahead -really sorry ladies. Am not happy, been awake for past hour and can't get back to sleep. OH has decided he is moving back home temporarily at some point over the weekend. If I go into labour before then he has no way of getting to the hospital (doesn't have any money saved for a taxi!) If he is here when I'm in labour we have no solid way of getting to hospital - it will either be OH driving with me beside him (hes a learner despite me telling him to put in for lessons etc in April he only had his first lesson last week - he can drive, had his licence revoked years ago) worst case I can ring dad. I'm bricking it. I know its my own stupid fault for getting pregnant by him so feel free to do the 'told you' but he was never like it - or I just didn't see it. I can see myself in hospital alone and am scared. Mum can't go with me, my sister and me don't talk, my friend has promised to be there but she has 4 kids. Rest of friends either can't get or have kids too. I've been such an idiot I know DD dad is a waster with her atm but at least he was there for me. Could kick myself right now.

Moving from the Wedding to the Pregnancy thread a little sooner than anticipated. We had decided to start trying on the basis it could take up to a year...turns out it was less than a week! The old woman who made up the wedding bed and sprinkled monkey nuts in it (dont ask) must have some magic powers.

We had confirmation on monday. Still too early for a scan yet, we are hoping to get one at the weekend. OH is away at the moment (mother is at very end stages of stomach cancer) so im not 100% sure what is going on tbh!

I am a kindergarten teacher so I believe I'm ready for fatherhood, but having skimmed through the thread its just dawned on me that I am in no way shape or form prepared for pregnancy :eek::eek::eek:

Blue Monkey - Congratulations! So glad it all went so well

Evening all, hope you are doing well?

So turns out I was definitely in labour on Sunday night, and our little girl Betsy made her appearance at 8:41 weighing 6lbs 6.5ozs

The birth couldn't have been any better, it was just how I wanted - in water, at home, no drugs, just a graze (no stitches)! Though I'd been having crampy twinges for a few days before, I'm counting labour as starting from when I had my show - so about 5 hours from then until she was born.

I'm feeling fine and we're getting used to life as a little family... Breastfeeding is harder than I thought, but the whole thing, including how wonderful OH has been is just so amazing I'm ok with the bf challenges. As WW said, taking it hour by hour seems to be the best way.

Anyway, I'll do a proper birth story soon and will try to pop back in when I've got a bit more time but I'd also like to say a huge thank you to everyone on here - it's been an absolute godsend to come on here and rant / moan / rave about things and you ladies have helped me in different ways more than you could imagine. Wishing you all the best for the rest of your pregnancies and I hope you have happy and safe deliveries of your little bundles of joy

Take care, BM x

Well done BM :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

Was Betsy a due date baby?

Congrats BM. Love the name(this was on our list of girls names):j

Congrats BM, sounds like the prefect labour!

Welcome Big Alf, don't worry, I'm sure all the others will agree that we found it pretty daunting at first (and probably most still do if we're honest!). there is also a less than 12 weeks pregnant thread that you may find useful and less scary as there is less talk about labour etc. I've posted in here from the start but also used the less than 12 weeks and 12-24 weeks threads for stuff more specific to those times in my pregnancy too.

It sounds like my bedding I ordered for baby has arrived but I get stuff delivered to my mums so I won't get to see it 'till Friday. i want to play!!!

Oh and Gilly, there's not an ounce of flab on you you lucky thing! Considering what you tell us you eat you're doing amazingly well!

I have a bump pic somewhere that DH took last week while we were away, i'll try and remember to find it and post it. I want tostart taking them weekly from now on to see how the bump is growing but I bet I'll forget!
