[carlyjade86]

I can't wait but I'm also sooo not ready, and to tell the truth, a little daunted at the thought of having a baby again! It's been a long time since I've had a baby... Feel like I don't hve a clue! And this time, my mammy isn't going to be in the next room... I'm only gonna have a smelly man to help me haha

a woman asked today if i was expecting twins! bloody cheek! was shocked when i told her i still had over 5weeks to go!

i am measuring 37weeks but midwife says thats because my uterus is stretched for having three other babies before.

I am bored of being so exhausted now! want bubba soon. xx

People keep saying that to me too! Or they'll say I look "ready to pop" but I'm really not that big. Sometimes I think they just want to start conversation and that's the best they come up with. People are strange...

me too! everyone says omg you look as though you r about to pop! and i have had about 10 different people tell me im gonna go early... hmmmm... i dont know why they say it either, considering my uterus measuring1 wk behind!!!

going to get my auntie (amateur photographer) to take sone belly shots with OH & I on sunday

Educating your man about labour/birth is possibly the best way to make them feel as useful and wanted as possible. My OH was so educated about what happens in labour he could have done the midwife's job for her lmao. He wanted to know as much as poss though so that helped a lot. He was a mahoooosive support, if he was busy panicing or feeling useless it wouldn't have been the same.

I totally agree with this... It's why I loved our antenatal classes so much, they focused a lot of it toward the partners in the room to make sure they knew and to give them full involvement too. Was great... I know my OH is going to be so good on the day can't wait!

Wow, will be stalking the pumpkins thread for an update on the twins! Hope everything goes well.

Carlyjade, it'll all fall into place again. This time I am going to have my mum down the road and then two of my husbands aunties are coming over from Brazil, one the first week and another the second. This will be a great help as although DH is a star, this time he will need to go back to work pretty soon and the children will be in the middle of school term (baby 2 and 3 came at easter and christmas, so we didn't need to worry about school runs for a bit).

As for the labour.....I have never in all my pregnancies attended antenatal classes and nor has he. We were totally out of our depth the first time, but now I think we might have a fair idea of what's in store. Might be a bit fraudulant turning up to classes now
