Thanks for the tips ladies. I'm a pack for all eventualities kinda girl, always bring clean clothes home from holiday!

 

[Tawn]

Oh! And a thin jersey dressing gown. Hands down one of my most worn things, at hospital and in the time after the birth at home!

 

[cupcake1981]

Yep that's on my list, maternity wards are sooooo hot aren't they to.

Tawn did you buy specific hypno birthing music?

 

[baileybubs]

It's so nice to see you back on here tawn, hope the lovely Madison is ok today xxx

Ooh another thing cupcake, I took bottles and ready made feed with me (for the event that bf'ing didn't work) but the hospital have them so don't bother!

I'm like you though, pack for all eventualities lol!

 

[MrsDuck]

Hey ladies ill catch up after food and bath but mrsd I do have private health care via bupa with work but guess what? I effing cancelled it in april FUMING xxx

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhh!!!

 

[MrsDuck]

Ooooh cupcake it's getting so close now, apart from being knackered I bet you are getting excited/nervous now x

Tawn lovely to see you back, so when are you starting to ttc the next one?

 

[cupcake1981]

Yes mrs d the reality that I am going to have to give birth has kicked in and now I'm quite scared, I can't really picture myself doing it to be honest!

Bailey I'm not bothering with the bottles, like you say, the MW said not to bother if I'm intending to bf, although I know it doesn't always go to plan sadly!

 

[cupcake1981]

And yes it's lovely to see you back here Tawn, you are missed!

 

[MrsDuck]

It would scare me too but you've had a rough pregnancy so I reckon you are going to have an easy birth

 

[MrsDuck]

And yes it's lovely to see you back here Tawn, you are missed!

I second that

 

[cupcake1981]

Do you think so mrs d? Id like to think it works like that but I think others would say I've had an easy time but just moan a lot lol!

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah I'm saying you'll have an easy birth too Hun!

 

[baileybubs]

And don't be daft, you don't just moan a lot it's been hard for you!

And may I add don't be scared (easier said than done I know) but just look at me and Cheryl, we both had difficult births and yet we are both already planning on doing it all over again, so it can't be that bad! You will manage with it and I actually look back at it now as one of the most amazing events of my life, not just because my daughter was born, but because of how it brought me and my df, and me and my mum even closer.

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh I hope so! I'm religiously drinking the RLT in the hope of speeding it all along!

 

[cupcake1981]

One of my friends said to me I've struggled with pregnancy cos my body was worn out of being preg after 2 miscarriages, think she's probably right tbh! I know you guys are eager to get preg again but I honestly know I need a rest from it for a couple of years!

It's just the unknown of it all, I think it's not the birth I'm so scared of, more the aftermath, like a horrid tear, or feeling depressed afterwards. I'm also really anti loads of visitors afterwards and people can be quite selfish about just wanting to see the baby and not caring how the mum feels can't they, and dealing with them while feeling pants will really get to me!

 

[CherylC3]

Aw cupcake I was so excited when my waters broke my blood pressure went thru the roof. U kno I wasn't scared one bit Hun. I think it's just knowing your going to meet ur baby takes all the fear away from it. X

 

[cupcake1981]

Ah that's a nice way to look at it Cheryl I like that x

 

[Tawn]

Thanks ladies!!! Sorry for being so MIA. Its been a rough couple f months! Lol. But feeds are finally stretching out and Maddie is finally letting me put her down occasionally so thought I might have time to check in!

Cupcake, I LOVED giving birth! I would do it again in a heartbeat. Positive attitude Hun! That's what the hypnobirthing is for and I bought the background music to the hypnobirthing cd. I can send it over to you if you want?

Mrsd, not for awhile!!! I still can't get Madison to sleep not on me, what if the second was as needy?! Tbh, at this point I'm not even 100% sure there will be another one hahahhaha

 

[baileybubs]

I know what you mean about giving your body a rest though. There are times when I think that's why I should be waiting til Emilia is 1 til we ttc but I also know I would like 3 or 4 kids and am already 30 lol! And I know I will be complaining about pregnancy aches and pains next time and wishing I had waited! But to be honest I just think it will all be worth it (someone remind me I said this when I'm pregnant again lol).

As for the visitors literally tell the to go away! I hated it. And I hated that noone seemed to care about how I felt about it! And yet now she's older and I would like visitors, no one is interested! Just tell your dh to tell people to leave you all alone for at least a week, you need to recover, not to be hostess.

 

[cupcake1981]

Tawn if you have time to send it over to or make me a copy I'd be majorly greatful! I've not been very committed to listening to the cd yet. Tbh I don't think I could go into a hypnotic state but I do think that it will help with my breathing if nothing else.

Hope you are back for good Hun! Are you back working again? X
