Well done Hannah!

Your birth story sounds nice, and glad you didnt find it so traumatic

What did you call your baby girl?

Congratulations Hannah, enjoy your mummy cuddles!

forgot to mention, I picked up a nappy bargain at Sainsburys yesterday. There was a £2 off Pampers voucher in the bounty pack (the first one) which I used on the Pampers Newborn nappies which are on offer in Sainsbury for £2.49 (so picked up a pack for 49p) - then got a till spit for another £2 when buying 2 packs so could get another 2 packs for £2.98.

Hope that makes sense, its too hot to think and i need a nap

I know that I have no way of writing proper links, but w.w.w.paternityangel .com is a good website, I've found. It has lots of information for dads, and a very good baby name database.

As for me, I'm not even pregnant and I'm struggling in the heat. Went over the road to get an ice cream at lunch and nearly fainted. Well, you did talk about having one, I had to join in. And yes, my DW is getting one too! Don't know how you all cope with being pregnant, having a huge bump to carry round, and then all that in this heat...

Congrats Hannah! My biggest fear of labour is tearing, not much you can do to prevent it though, if its going to happen it'll happen.

Congratulations Hannah! xx


Mishka - thanks for posting about that I got given another Bounty pack in hospital last week so will send OH out to get a pack, he gets staff discount too so will make them even cheaper. Don't think I've spent £1 on nappies yet and I've got over 300 lol.

Also 25% off clothes including sale items starts at Sainsburys tomorrow for anyone looking to stock up on a few bits.

Thanks all, I wont be posting her name as it's really unusual and means that I will be easily identifiable!
Betty101: I didn't even feel the tear, it honestly was not that bad and I had a dr stitching me up for about 45 minutes and I haven't even felt the stitches, only pain down below was my piles!

twinklie 25 weeks, that feels like its flown by!

little_miss_m, you cannot be MADE to start your mat leave at 29 weeks, even if ill, although your employer has the right to suggest it. If it is a pregnancy related illness you can be made to start your mat leave at 36 weeks. I was signed off sick for 6 weeks with a non-pregnancy related illness (weeks 29-35), glad to be on mat leave proper now. I wouldn't feel bad about it, you may want to taper your return for example so that extra leave will come in handy. I think your boss probably has the wrong end of the stick, I had to explain to my line manager too.

hannah congrats and thanks for posting your birth story.

Am 36 weeks + 3 today. Feeling much better now than was a few weeks ago . Making sure I put my feet up for at least 2 hours a day, and taking pride in the small things I get done. Today - a washload, laundry put away, a small shop done, collecting DD from school, and emailed a few friends. And will have to squeeze a few ice pops in there too .

Thanks whowants2brich, I know my OH gets frustrated over the amount of information out there for potential fathers. I have passed the link on to him although I think he does lurk around here occasionally too.

Hannah I think if anyone wanted to know, they could find out who I am with very little digging I do occasionally worry about people following me from the real world though.

Does anyone know a place to get decent good value dressy maternitywear? I have a wedding at the end of July and I'll be around 29/30 weeks by then, and am struggling to find something that is a decent price. I dont want to spend a lot as I'll only wear it once.

I quite like this http://www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/sp+pink-floral-sundress-in-dresses+B4495 but there seems something strange about the neckline and they are out of stock in the 10s
