    They did follow it up by saying don't worry though as often the big babies are easier to labour (correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the speed of Chonorla's labours will concur with that) as gravity and the body just gets it out, no messing about. They did also confirm though that there is no evidence that they come any sooner, so your term +14 makes sense.
    Hopefully he'll make an appearance before then.x

    Yes speed may be have something to do with the size of mine - 2 of mine were back to back and induced which is meant to make it slower too :o But I do stay very mobile until I push and sort of have the mindset, that if they are that blooming large they are coming out in one go! No waiting round in my birth canal stinging! Last DS nearly shot off the bed with one push and MW just caught him :rotfl: Think it took an hour from induction, so was 13 minutes active labour and 3 minutes from breaking my waters.

    Two of mine have needed evacuating and my daughter did arrive of her own accord, but 2 days late. So think they just arrive when they are ready :D Guess size doesn't encourage labor to start. Saying that my friend had her son at 34 weeks and he was 8lb 10oz, which makes my eyes water thinking what he could have been full term!

    I am due to see the Consultant on Monday and I will be 39+1. They have left me longer this time because they say I have safely delivered 3 large babies before, so it will probably be induction on my due date next Saturday which is safer for me and baby in case he is monster size and I do need help:rotfl:

    IHate Dida - 15lb !!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: Jeepers I hope none of us beat that record. Am sure we will all be fine though.

    LOL MV... I look like that when I need a poo! ... tis very hideable.. unlike my hippo baby.

    Clare.. I was bigger than I am with this one with my older ones and in maternity stuff by 8 weeks at the latest with them all.. Different people carry differently. I have a pic 2 weeks before having my 8th and I was colossal.. yet I was smaller with her than with a couple of the others.. I gained over 5 stone with 2 of them!

    and yes those tile measurements sound correct.. see.. not as daft as you think!

    Yay - one step closer to nice bathroom :j
    I think all in we're looking at about £500. I have about £200 at the moment and then whatever OH brings back from Hamburg (if anything!) plus £50 from OH's phone recycling and £50 from music magpie.

    Should probably do baby room first though...

    I need to get the house rebuilt before I can think about tiles again.. I must have saved the money about 5 times and always something more important comes up.

    Hi Ladies,

    Is this the right tread for 31 weeks today? I can't believe I only have 9 weeks to go!

    Thanks WG x
