[Essie]

watching One Born Every Minute - found that woman with forceps really harrowing.

I've just finished watching it, that poor woman

 

[TrinityMom]

MY groin hurts soooo much! i cant even walk properly....... its like i have been kicked in the foof and its all bruised

does this = labour soon!?!?!?! or is that too much wishfull thinking

So does mine...not fun at all. Not a labour sign unfortunately

 

[TrinityMom]

I just worked out that I have attended the birth of over 150 babies

Wow, Sarah! That made it to you FAST! I guess the parcel I sent to Jaynie got slowed up with the holiday craziness.

I'm glad you like all the stuff!!

I've just put some old sprouting potatoes in a couple of open egg boxes since my mum told me to do so. I've got to leave them in the light for a month or so, ready for planting in March. Since 6 mouths is alot to feed we're going to get really organised this year about our veggie production- my mum and dad are totally self sufficient with their fruit and veg so she's going to guide us through this year. We grow quite alot of stuff but my mum is amazingly good at what works when and where, so I'm going to pick her brains. Next week she's coming over and will help with the planning of our plantations. I'm really excited about it! I think I need dungarees and a headscarf!

We grew some really nice potatoes last year and it was really easy Our veggie garden is HORRIBLY neglected. Got a few scraggly marigold bushes and some borage and bok choi that self-seeded. And George the tortoise is steadily munching all our cherry tomatoes

Cassie love your fringe, it looks fab

April, we give her either fromage frais or a tiny bit of whatever yogurt we're eating.

Lyra says she is offering 2 for 1 if any turtles would like her yogurt facial, she takes payment in cuddles

That is so lovely!

I love how her focus changes just before pushing. And that she supports her own perineum and has no tearing AT ALL! And he spontaneous movements during pushing - LOVE water birth for how free it makes the moms

Yes, it was all just so peaceful! I wish wish wish I could have had my water birth I wanted!!
I got to take a shower during my labor (bless the doctor that okay'd that one! Despite me being on several medications that required strict bedrest! ) and it made my contractions almost pain free to have the shower water hitting me in the back...
The nurse popping her head in every 90 seconds to urge me back in to me bed/prison wasn't nice, though!

Doctor said my vaginal cramps are prob one of the girls pushing on my cervix. I am just resting. One of them was kicking my bladder over and over today. She is getting cozy in there.
