msC - gorgous photo! glad MrC has been everything you need.

lozza, hope stayign in goes well. it will be great to have extra help on hand. skin to skin sounds lovely! look forward to reading your birth story. Get some rest!!

waula, sounds like you have done fab on your own and great news on cute baby clothes. I am probably doing a lot for someone so overdue but i just feel so amazing i have seized the moment. i am mindful i need to conserve energy though and will make sure i rest and go to bed early tomorrow night.

the texts and calls keep coming. if i hear 'any news yet?' one more time i think i will scream. MIl has just emailed me to say she will be calling me tomorrow if she doesnt hear any news in the meantime. i have told hubby he can answer the phone. i have nothing to say!! lol

Cupcake - honestly, dont people realise how annoying it is? and not just annoying but quite upsetting for some women to be asked allllllllllll the darn time.

My MIL and FIL decided i was being induced on friday simply because they calculated that i must be ( ) they were quite embarrasseed when i obviously wasnt. Even worse, my MIL told me today ''oh i had to tell my friend sheepishly that i got it wrong''................. EM HELLO??????? why did you tell her anything anyway without asking us first???? Its really quite annoying.

 

[firsttimer1]

sorry..... ..... that last message should have had a rant warning.

I'm a March 2010 Mama - popping in to say hi - hope that's OK!

the texts and calls keep coming. if i hear 'any news yet?' one more time i think i will scream. MIl has just emailed me to say she will be calling me tomorrow if she doesnt hear any news in the meantime. i have told hubby he can answer the phone. i have nothing to say!! lol

Ah, I remember this time SO well! My daughter's 40wk-EDD was 20th February and she was born on 9th March! I had sooooo many people asking me 'any news???' - even my Mum phoned me up to ask if I'd had the baby yet!!

I turned down induction and my contractions started naturally just past 42 weeks and L was born in the early hours of 42+3. They do come out eventually... but the 'any news?' questions, no matter how well meaning, don't help with stress levels, do they?

Sending you all wonderful smooth labour vibes. Giving birth to my daughter was the most amazing experience of my life and I hope it's the same for you ladies.

naughty in laws FT! grrrrrrr.... i know you're a bit worried about tomorrow FT - but please don't be - you've got the best thing in the world coming at the end of it and if it is all a bit much then get that epidural in!!!!

Congrats Kymied – he is stunning – love his name too
Lozza – congratulations – lots of babies today
Mitch and Loo – well done on the check up – babies seem to be doing so well with their feeding

FT – Good luck with tomorrow – I have every faith you’ll do great

Mrs Crow – Very cute little lady you have there – great picture

We have the phonecalls starting – got hubby to answer two and im wasn’t taking any of them – of there was news they have been told they will know when baby is here and we are all well – Starting to get frustrated even more with the constant – ‘ its will be soon’ ‘ not long to go’

Ive had terrible back ache and lower abdomen pain all day but no hopeful signs – just hoping I can still make a march mama

edit - just realised newfie had her little girl too - congrats

[firsttimer1]

Vitfa - im sure you will be a march mama, and if not, april is a perfectly beautiful month for a birthday too

THANK THE LORD someone just mentioned on FB that the uk clocks go forward tonight.... i totally forgot! so one less hours sleep for us but one hour closer to induction

 

[emera35]

Oof! I'm very sleepy and brain is a bit melted from all day/night feeding, but wanted to swing by, first with general and second if i don't catch you before FT i wanted to send you a big ton of positive vibes for tomorrow! I just know you are going to be immense and everything will work out just right for you with the induction! Think happy positive thoughts and get excited about meeting Digs! xxx

 

[lauraclili]

Vita, sorry you're not feeling too good.

FT good luck for tomorrow. I'm sur it will be a fabulous experience but remember, you get Digs at the end of it . So worth it!

Waula, I'm good (ish) thanks. Just finding the recovery from the c-section hard. A is worth it all though.

Cupcake. Mad list of jobs! But glad you're feeling good.

Congrats loo and Mitch on the weights. A lost 8.8% but they are happy because she was so big she could cope with the loss. I hope!

Congrats to Lozza on your baby boy! Looking forward to hearing more about it (and his name) soon.

Congrats to kymied and Newfie on the birth of y babies.

I guess that's all I can remember!

Love to you all!

[emera35]

April is an ace month for a birthday!! OH and Roh are both April babies!! Despite the fact that Roh should have been a May baby, but hey, he clearly thought April was cooler!

MWAH xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[lozza1uk]

Omg clocks! Forgot to remind DH of that! I think that means one less hour on my own... Am about to sleep; how the hell am I going to manage that? Just change my first ever nappy (well watched really) - there's so much to learn as I have zero experience of babies!

 

[lauraclili]

Lozza, don't worry! The MWs will show you and your beautiful baby will show you. You'll do fine! Also, just ask! Everyone wants to help!

Xx

 

[Glowstar]

City - sorry about your Grandma but you seem to have it all in perspective

Congrats to Newfie and baby Dani

Cupcake - maybe all your hard work today will start something off....I hope so

MrsC - lovely pic of you and Edith

Lozza - glad you are staying in and making the most of the MW care...most of them are truly helpful

Widger...I'm still here and not a sausage happening so looks like I'm here for the long haul

Lastly my darling FT - huge and the best of luck for tomorrow. You've been the thread that has pulled all of us together and it will certainly be quiet around here without you the next few days

 

[citymouse]

Yes, FT, like who will remind me of the rash I had for two days in November?

In fact, I'll bet everybody else here has had rashes and they're just too scared to bring them up!

 

[newfielady]

Hi ladies. Sorry I was gone so long. Just wanted to let everyone know that baby Danni arrived on March the 22ed at 2:11pm weighing 7lbs 11ozs.

 

[citymouse]

Yay, Newfie! Congratulations!

 

[wondertwins]

Congrats, Newfie! She's precious.
Congrats to Lozza and Kymied too!!

Yay for babies!

My little guys are 1 month old today. They're doing great and really packing on the lbs. Afm... I'm exhausted, but doing well. BF is much smoother these days. For anyone who is unsure, I encourage you to give it a full 3 weeks. It's amazing how much easier it is now. (It still takes me forever, but I think that's the price I have to pay for having two cuties.)

 

[Glowstar]

Yay Newfie...huge congrats on baby Dani

WT - Yay for babies being 1 month old already glad the BF is going well

 

[citymouse]

Wow, WT... Can't believe the boys are a month old! Don't worry, I'm still holding down the due date fort over here.
