    Good luck with your impending arrival!

    First DS was born 8 weeks early, 20 mins in delivery!! He still cant wait for anything, lol

    Second DS born 10 weeks early, 2 weeks in labor (not induced, its still better for them to stay inside when they are so early). He is still a lazy so and so!:D

    That's 2 very, very early babies ..... Hope they are both well x

    Junior arrived 10 days late, born at home. Kicked off around 10 in the evening and finished 7:20 the following morning. I was shattered, I think the missus was a little bit worn out too.

    Sleep now while you can, 15 months later after the birth I still feel continually tired.

    You might not want to start a similar poll on 'How long was your labour...'

    :D

    Poor you, hope your wife was looking after you during 'your' labour :p

    No, I don't think I'll start with the second poll, thank you!!!!!! :eek:

    Good luck Felicity.

    Just for the record my first was 3 days over due, and my second was 2 days overdue. Both delivered in hospital with the aid of "gas & air" fantastic stuff!!!

    My advice for any Mum-to-be would be to stay as active as you can. This will help when your in the delivery suite.

    Thanks for the tip, I am trying, but I am sooooo tired. I live in a town house with 3 floors and the trip from the bottom to the top floor feels like a heck of a journey at the moment ....

    Could do with some gas & air by the time I get to the top!

    My 1st was 2 weeks overdue, and was due to be induced on the monday, but actually came on the saturday morning before...i was lucky.
    My 2nd was 10 days overdue.
    My 3rd is presently 3 days overdue, but i expect thats going to keep rising....watch this space.

    Yes, they are both well, I've been incredibly fortunate on that score. I dont plan on having any more tho, cos its likely that I will go around the 25week mark.
    I also remember the words of my friends, but I would rather have enemies than friends like you :p

    :p would like to make it known that ZubeZubes avvy is a DHN, she's not dancing :o

    My DD arrived 9 days early - waters broke 2 days before that but she was very happy where she was so I needed to be induced.
