Yeah i know what you mean about statistics of birthing centres and home births i was pointing out id be in exactly the same position as you just have to go from centre to main hospital. I know that my local mw's actually encourage and support home births. A lady i know has three children and a mega hospital phobia and has had all three of hers at home. She didnt opt for a birthing poor but had them in the living room in front of the tv. Her middle daughter was born one week after mine and we had the same mw and then her son who's nearly three came into the world same as with his older sisters watching tv and eating breakfast cereal lol!

Lol at dh just get him to do it quick before he changes his mind x
 
ah ok got ya :)

I just remembered that in our family 7lb 12 babies are the norm. I was 7 12, my mum was, my aunty was, my oldest cousin was, the turkey the xmas before I was born was too!
 
lol at the turkey!

Are there rules on homebirths and how big they think your baby will be? I have tinkers 5lb5oz and 6lb9oz x
 
There predictions are usually wrong with ds they told me when i was in labour i was having a very big boy...err no 6lb9oz!

My sis in law had a 9lb12oz but she did need an emergency c-section after many many long gruelling hours of trying to get him out naturally. On the otherhand an aunt has had hers naturally without a stich and they have all been around the 10lb mark (shes had four) and shes got a pretty small frame too!
 
You could have a 6th man inside of you and still birth at home if you wanted. They can't force you to go in for any reason, but there's some situations where you'd kinda want to. Like if you know your baby needs surgery after birth it would probably be best to do a hospital birth. With big babies they don't do much different at home or at hospital, it's just if their shoulders get stuck, but that can happen to skinny women as well. If I had small hips for example and baby was measuring huge then I might be more panicy at home which kinda defies the point. Aim of a home birth is to be more relaxed so you progress better but in some situations you might be more relaxed in hospital or with an epi

I'm not sure what they'd recommend if bubs was small. If theyre not likely to need any special care afterwards then I'd think you'd be perfect for a hb.
 
That's fab you have your home birth all booked up! I think i am going to go for the birthing pool. Oh god.. we have to go through labour! I will be petrified. I'm a total wuss at the best of times.

How are you all feeling now ? Do you have your energy back yet? I'm still struggling with feeling dead tired all the time. Xx
 
Holly was 8lb 6oz, and I wasn't told that was terribly big, maybe it is, I was the same weight (when I was born).

Gemmylou, Hehe it does look like you've had a fun 'eating' weekend, don't worry too much, how much weight have you put on? I notice your due the day before me? I'm sure you're probably doing much better than me!! I'm gonna start slimmimg world tomorrow as I need to get this weight gain under control, and I know I'll kick myself afterwards if I don't.

Morning Rachel, I do that when i'm bored or fed up - sigh all the time. Are there any crafty clubs you could join, make some things for baby?

Hi Jade, thanks for the nice comments not to worry bout my weight, *sigh* but I am! Gonna chat to MW about it on Monday at the 20 week scan!

Han Xxx
 
Oh han big hugs hun, you were so determined not to let weight gain get you down...hope your ok xxx You dont seem to have been eating a massive amount though tbh, could it be water retention? Defo mention it to your mw as they can test and rule things out xxx

I dont know what they class as big or small tbh, although megan was classed as small (but she was three weeks early) and ds was classed as 'borderline' small lol! Im getting extra scans to check this one is growing ok. I noticed at my 20 week scan that im measuring slightly small but we will see they can 'catch up' x

Im so bored and tired...there are a million things i could be doign around the house but ds is fast asleep and the only thing i feel fit for is joining him! x
 
Dont they say that you should sleep when baby sleeps? i reckon that applies up until theyre 18 tbh. Have a nap! This weather is doing me in, cant stop yawning...
 
Oh i would but hes been asleep too long already in for a late night so i need to wake him up and not join him! lol! Im so tired today its seems to be getting so much worse lately but im pretty lucky so far didnt have a very tired first tri!

When does 3rd tri start? x
 
is reading up on home birthing...just interested i suppose, cranberry have you checked out homebirth.org.uk? x
 
yep :) https://www.aims.org.uk/ and https://www.midwifery.org.uk/ are rly good too, talks about all the interventions you might be offered

Oh at the MW she told me that I got my Anti - d at 28w, didnt someone on here have that, Rachel/cherrybinky maybe? I thought it was something like 18w and 26w jabs.
 
Just had my hospital check up and they didn't weigh me either! Felt stupid asking for it so didn't bother. Saw the consultant for about 15 secs but as all is fine there's not much to do rly
 
Yes its meee, I have my Anti D at 28 weeks. Its booked already :(

I have my GTT booked too and my Anti natal classes are in the process of being sorted by the hosp too.

PS Im doing well as I havent had a sleep today but do feel like slipping into a coma!

Hi ladies;) this heat is unreal. Done a little painting today as we are refurb a house:( hard work. I was on bed rest but figure I am nearly 12 weeks I'm doing a few things snails pace. Just a wee bit everyday whilst the OH at work.
 
Hello

Got an amazing changing table off gumtree for £30, had a bit of a saga picking it up as DH hadnt told me that one of the seats in the car doesnt bloody go down, oh well tho, home now and its spotless, honestly its like youd get in a shop and theyre £100 new.

Theres a pic at https://www.flickr.com/photos/helenshingler/5901744394/

Hope everyones managing in the heat, imagine if we were like 8m pregnant, I dont think Id go out!
 
Spellfairy, its been milder over here today thank god. I havent moved all day (lazy) but still managed to have swollen toes! :(

Helen, I LOVE your changing table. I cant wait for mine to arrive in about 20 mins :) exciting. lol.

Ive ordered a hot curry for tea from the indian, I NEEDED one (blush). Fattening but required as its getting late and I was starving plus OH has been decorating Xanders new room all day so he appreciated a curry too.

Whats everyone else had for tea?
X
 
Not had mine yet, we normally eat around 8pm. Bought crispy duck and pancakes from Tesco and might have that as I am staaarving. Its for 4-6 ppl tho so will try not to scoff the whole thing, im sure thats 4-6 as a starter tho.

Rich just painted the study yellow with the rest of the baby room paint. Took him about 45 mins as he used magical marvelous frog tape round the edges, soooo much better than masking tape. more expensive but saves hours and we always rowed about how jaggedy it looked, lovely smooth lines now :)

Gonna put a new floor in there, some cheapy lino I think, but he refuses to fit it, so looks like Im doing it.... all it needs is a stanley knife and a bit of patience... MEN ><
 
The changer is fab :) Mmmm curry! I ended up having scrambled egg and beans on toast!

The last time i weiged myself over a week ago i'd put on 14lbs. Weighed myself before dinner and i was at 13 1/2 lbs. Result!

Its sooo hot today. Far too much. I wouldn't leave if i was 8 months pregnant either. Lucky for me living in scotland the sun is gone tomorrow and back to rain !! xx
