  • Good luck Gilly and well done getting through such a long labour! Also I'm pretty sure Iwanttogoonholiday said she's getting induced today too so good luck to you too :)

    Still no baby here so unless he comes by tomorrow it'll be induction on Monday for me. Oh well at least the little one is comfy in there (a lot more comfortable than I feel atm but knowing there's only 2 - 3 days left max is getting me through it)

    Hope everyone's well x

    TC,

    Well waited in all day for a pram that never arrived, not like John Lewis to mess up on a delivery so I'm a bit peeved as it was supposed to come this morning and now we've wasted a day and may have to do the same again next weekend if they can't give us a time

    DH returned home with a gorgeous looking cupcake for me, looking forward to an evening infront of the TV now!

    Good luck Gilly, thinking of you, glad you're comfortable now and hope you get mummy cuddles really soon now xx

    Good luck Gillyx! Just came on to check to see if you had given birth, hope you are ok and hopefully not long now!


    As for pillows, I originally bought the U shaped one from mothercare but it was rubbish. However after a walk round lidl the other day there was this long pillow, a microfibre one which said it was good for support in pregnancy. It's about one and a half meters long, enough to support my tummy and bend to go between my legs and its brilliant! Works. for me and is filled enough for it to not go flat. Best of all it was only a tenner!

    Gilly glad you are more comfortable, epidural was a huge relief to me after struggling for hours and was so good to actually lie down as had been standing all through labour. Hope bubs is here soon. The dif bit I found was not pushing when wanted to!!! I should have done more pelvic floor exercises!!!

    Iwant- hope all goes well x
    Stacey- havent forgotten you lots of (hugs ) end is in sight x

    I bought the same pillow from lidl too, great bargain and has really helped me and like you say it's long enough to fit under and around all my lumps and bumps!! Xx
