Amy - lovely bump pics
Han - I had a roast dinner during labour (really fun eating it in between random contractions
kept getting on my hands and knees to breathe through them, the dog was a puppy and thought it would help to walk back and forth underneath me
) When I was giving birth I kept asking: "Am I turtling?"
the midwife was confused and asked my mum what I meant so she told her and they all reassured me I wasn't, but I could smell it! Apparently the poo wasn't that big (took them weeks to admit that I'd pooed as I was giving birth though!)
Don't worry about your weight either Han, it'll only stress you out, like you said you've been good, so maybe it is all everything the baby needs?
Gem - I ate shit over the weekend, but I can't actually remember what I ate now, the past days at work I've eaten 3 packets of crisps again, usually before 12 too!
Ladies, you talk too much, lol! My phone was going mental in work on Monday with all the emails coming through from the FB group
Kept me busy though as we were dead!
Rach - honestly the pain isn't that bad, I concentrated on the fact that I was soon going to be able to hold my baby and discover the sex and that got me through it. I'm a wimp, I cry when I'm sick in the mornings and I hate hurting myself, but labour is completely different! (Trust me
)
Also - I'm more scared of getting a tattoo than giving birth
Although in saying that I want to get a tattoo within a few weeks of having this baby so the pain doesn't seem so bad and I want to get the kids names on me somewhere
Helen - My mum was pretty much like your MIL trying to talk me out of a homebirth. Luke kept changing his mind saying one day that he wanted me to go to hospital for our next baby and then saying home the next day! But it's all been decided for me, bloody group b strep
I would love to have a home birth, but I might scare the neighbours
Rach - I've been on the pantyliners since I knew I was pregnant, really not used to so much discharge, but I spose my cervix isn't fully closed after having Tegan. It definately helps wearing something, also when I wear a skirt I don't have to wear leggings when I have a pantyliner as my legs then don't rub
Result!
Oh, by the way girlies, you may have noticed, I have no shame
I'll talk about anything to anyone! My staff in my old shop knew EVERYTHING but when you work with someone for 9 hours a day you gotta find something to talk about
me and my manager would talk about our sex life, or lack of it
He was quite funny, I kept telling him that they should really get their daughter out of their room (she kept looking at them when they were about to get jiggy and she'd put them off
)
I'm off to meet my friends new baby boy today, yay! Looking forward to her birth story and finding out if it was any better or worse than with her little girls, and I've talked my dad into taking me to a baby shop where my auntie works so I can look at doubles, she reckons the iCandy peach would be best for us so I get to demo them without Luke being there
(someone has to look after Tegan!
)
I'm SO looking forward to newborn cuddles
Jayne - I'll let you know if she is combination feeding and how she's finding it this time around
Hope you all have good days
I'm gonna be naughty and buy cake to take round to my friends
but hey, you gotta celebrate a new baby with cake
