Congrats thrifty , mrsmanda and choclover

Aida I use bio oil and the coconut butter from body shop. I apply bio oil in the morning and coconut butter in the evenings. No stretch marks so far (I'm 22+?) but can't guarantee it's the oil and the butter. I think the most important thing is for you to moisturise!

Has anyone got a suggestion of a dress for a wedding on a boat? I'll be 27wks then and bought the Tiffany Rose block dress in purple off ebay (http://www.tiffanyrose.com/maternity/clothing/CBDP.html, sorry I'm not sure how to add websites any other way) but, to be honest, I'm not keen as it doesn't feel very weddingly...

eeeeek that dress is beautiful :eek: WEAR IT !!

I would dress it up with a flower in your hair, or even fastened to the front and a big blingy statement necklace ??

Oops fluff. The perils of posting from a phone

snowbean

Hello, please can I join you? Have been lurking for weeks and never getting caught up in time to post - you're all so chatty!

I'm 25 weeks today, due oct 6th and we don't know the sex. Please can I be added to the list emsbet?

Congrats to all the new mums. Still can't quite believe that will be me soon - feel so unorganised and unprepared...eek.

Hope everyone has a good day

Love that dress bikelesschick - you could always add a corsage to make it look a bit more weddingy if you wanted, but I think it's lovely the way it is. It's all about accessorising for weddings.

Welcome snowbean. x

Congratulations thrify gal, mrs manda and choclover and welcome snowbean. I will update the list now.

MrsBryan_2

Oooooh 3 new babies!! :j
Congratulations choclover, MrsManda and thriftygal!!

Look forward to hearing the birth stories and seeing pics!

Thanks for the ideas re wedding suits, they're all lovely!
Ikkle, those suits are gorgeous it was exactly what I was looking for! Just worried an 8 week old will look silly in trousers, shirt and a waistcoat? I think he'll probably look really cute!

Not up to much this weekend. Hoping baby comes! Woke up with a sore throat so hoping it was just from snoring my head off and not anything else!

Have a bit of time now so here it goes.

Went into hospital for 9am on Tuesday for an induction, unfortunately they didn't have a bed for me so we had to wait until 11:30 before I was admitted. Got hooked up to the monitor for about and hour and then had an examination. She said the baby's head was low and I was 2 cm dilated so she gave me one of those tampon type things to get labour going. Had to sit on the bed for 30 mins for it to settle in and then was told to walk about. The BH quickly turned into contractions and was hooked up to the monitor again by 4pm. Got re-examined and was still 2 cm dilated. Was told I needed to be more uncomfortable before I could have any painkillers, then 30 mins later was given paracetamol and codeine as the back ache was getting a lot worse. Managed to eat dinner and then was starting feel a bulging sensation down below and the contractions started to get quite painful. About an hour later my waters broke and within five minutes felt like I needed to push. Annoyingly was told not to push until I was transferred to the delivery suite, thought I would have moved before I got to this stage.

Got into the delivery suite, was given the gas & air and started to push. It went really well and only needed to push a few times before she started to move. On one push her head nearly crowned but then she retracted and on the next contraction I pushed again but this time she stayed where she was and my god it was the longest few minutes of my life waiting for the next contraction as it was soooo painful her just sitting there. Anyway on the next contraction she crowned and the rest of her came out as well!

Had to have a few stitches but other than that everything is fine. Will try and post a photo later!

Oh just to add the midwife that delivered her said she looked like she was only 39 - 40 weeks as she had lots of that white stuff everywhere, so they must have got my dates wrong.
