  • Congratulations pm04gn! :j

    Katy - I forsee lots of what I call "freezer surprise" in your future! I've started doing the flat freeze method with most things recently, freezing in a zip lock bag, flattening and freezing, so you get flat bags of individual portions stacked up. You can get so much more in the freezer and they defrost really quickly under the hot tap too.

    Boo wish I had known about the bag method, its a great idea! I think we could probably fit more bags in though rather than tubs so might still have more room.
    Freezer surprise is fine in our house as most things get served with broccoli and carrots so it wont overly matter!

    Eww that makes me third or fourth. I feel sick now!
  • If you're interested there is a fab cookbook all about freezing called "freeze"! It's by Justine Pattinson. I borrowed it from library after seeing her do a slot on This Morning and got some great ideas.

    Congratulations pm04gn!!!

    I'm hoping for a water birth with gas and air. How long were you in the pool for?
    I'm getting excited now!

    Regular contractions from about 3pm, went to hospital at 10pm and was 6cm. So in the pool from about 10.45pm. It was wonderful and took away all the front pain until transition and just left a back pain that I could breathe through. Asides from an epidural I'm not sure anything would've helped with the pushing but that may be size related!

    Well, yes, it does sound like baby made the most of her growing time!
  • Well things are on the move here! Woke up at 4am thinking I'd wet myself. Been checked at hospital. Waters definitely in the process of breaking. Had a few irregular contractions. Now just got to get them going to avoid induction tomorrow morning!
