I heard that the midwife strike is only to be for 4 hours. Here's hoping lilmiss that you don't need during that 4 hours!

:rotfl: indeed! Rumour has it that it will affect clinics only not births *takes a few deep breaths*

Just been to an NHS feeding class last night. It was really helpful with more reminders about feeding and expressing.

The mw was also very supportive of co-sleeping and I am tending more to thinking that this is ok rather than the horror filled activity. Both NCT and the hospital have recommended the same website and position so it's nice to hear a consistent message of plan to do it and do it this way. Made me realised I had got very polarised about NOT doing it and I think until I try something with my baby how will I know what suits!

Just been reading on FB group about another birth! Yay!

I'm slightly scared that it's now October.....

Once I got back to sleep this morning when the house quietened down, I dreamed that I had the baby today (on nieces birthday) by c-section. Once again it was a girl (4th dream of it being a girl) and 2nd time we were calling her by her chosen name! I still think it will be a boy though!

Congrats to all babies born and all new mums! Hello to all newbies and get well to all those under the weather. also hope all with worries get them sorted

Island.girl

Went to hospital on Tuesday as hadn't felt baby move in 12 hours and was panicking but all is ok, just have a lazy baby with a strong heart beat which is good slightly worried though that my blood pressure was 190. The midwife made me stay in for 4 hours to keep an eye on it it did go lower but not by much I now have to go back for checks as they are a little worried. I had an ECG which was normal. At the beginning of my pregnancy my blood pressure was perfect and as a healthy 23 year old I am now worried about it but the more I try and relax and stay stress free the more I worry about it.

MrsC - the top 5 WILL give birth this month :eek: Obs I am planning to wake up to find a clean child in the moses basket.

Island girl - glad all was well.

Do you think hiccups count as movement? He's been moving plenty today anyway, just wondered.

I managed to leave the house around 9.45am this morning and only got back after 6 having hurtled up the M4 again to see my welsh friends. Made dinner and then gave DH a lift to go meet other NCT daddies.

Cream crackered.

Thanks for link toft. This is good also but maybe more tongue in cheek!

Just a quick one to let you know I had my baby girl this morning at 7:23am after a very traumatic labour resulting in a c-section. We are both doing well and have named her Emma Patricia. She weighed in at 7lb 5
