Boy, 9lb 2oz, 3 days late

I know which prediction I'd prefer Chilli - defo Tink's

 

[Tink1o5]

Haha those were the first numbers that popped in my head, so im going with em.

 

[Chilli]

OMG you lot 9lbs +..... surely not! That's mean!!!???? My girl was 2 weeks late and came in at just under so you could be right - how funny everyone thinks it's a boy... so do I!? All just a guessing game

Ok I'm going for boy 7lb 10 and 2 weeks early - that would be nice!

 

[Widger]

I knew you'd put the baby would come early In your dreams Chilli I hope it does though xx

The only thing that you need to worry about is that head! Seriously Daniel's was on the 95th percentile and that was just not funny, only for it to go down in size when next checked at 8 weeks...... how unfair

 

[Chilli]

Well the head was measuring normal at last scan ( a bit above but not much) It was the tummy they were worried about so hopefully he'll just slide out!

Hope he (or she) doesn't come as late as big sister who was 2 weeks late and then took 2 days to get here!!??

My boobs have suddenly got really sore again like they were months ago when first fell - I'm taking that (and any other straw I can cling to) as a sign that things are cooking fast this time!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Chilli, get some reflexology and reiki in. Have you read the Gentle Birth Method? xx

 

[Baby-Cakes]

Hi Ladies sorry haven't been on for a while.

Congratulations on all the new bumps, hope they're cooking well and good luck to those still ttc x

My af has completely messed up bleeding every 15 days, had 1st smear last week so just waiting for results

 

[Tink1o5]

Nice to hear from you again Baby Cakes. I hope your smear comes back ok.

 

[Peach Blossom]

Hope your smear is ok Baby-Cakes. Sorry af is being all wierd and all over the place.

 

[Chilli]

Hey baby cakes - hope you get things sorted soon!

Peaches - no I haven't but am feeling very confused after my last birth which was long and hard! I went to a festival recently where there were some dullas and they were loevly and encouraged me to have more faith in my body which is something I guess I 've lost after the last 2 and a half years. Now I don't know what to do for the best... I'm hoping it'll suddenly all become obvious?????

Anyway.. a new name: Dante Saul Chillitupa????? Dante means enduring which I feel is very appropriate. Opinions please?

 

[Peach Blossom]

Oh I love it! Beautiful name! Do you want me to send you my gentle birth book? Xx

 

[Chilli]

Thanks Peach. I expect I'll have a girl now I've finally found a boy's name!

Yes please, shall I send you my address?

 

[Peach Blossom]

Yeah, PM me your address and I'll get it in the post for you. x

 

[dawny690]

Chilli I love that name xxxx

 

[Chilli]

Thanks Dawny - we'll see...

 

[Widger]

Babycakes - Hope all goes ok with smear and your AF gets itself sorted xx

Chilli - Love the name, really lovely. I had a long labour too so can imagine that it is playing on your mind at the moment I do think though that however much you prepare, sometimes nature just takes over and there isn't anything you can do about it. No harm in finding out about stuff though. I was in so much pain as Daniel was stuck... no amount of hypnobirthing could help me! I'm sure this time baby will just pop out

Well I got a dopppler (I didn't last time) and I've heard the heartbeat. Love that sound. Only rented it as only wanted it before 12 week scan and it is so reassuring. Now just got to have a good scan which is on 12th Sept.

My boobs have still not grown yet Chilli!! I don't want them to hurt, just grow as after BFing Daniel it would be nice to have a bit of growth!!

Hope everyone is well xx

 

[Chilli]

Thanks about the name Widger!

You're brave getting a doppler - I think I would've been permanently listening in like a loon. You have a fetus now...great!!!!!!

My boobs are just tingling on and off - I'm sure the little one is coming early!

 

[bklove]

Hey ladies. Seems like there are lots of congratulations in order! I'm back to the land of journaling and just in time to find out I'm pregnant Ofcourse my nerves are a mess, but fingers, toes and strands of hair crossed that this will just be well.
How has everyone been?

 

[Peach Blossom]

Oh Wow! congratulations BK that is such great news!

Chilli I haven't forgotten about the book... I've just returned to work so things have been a bit crazy! I will get it in the post to you asap. xx

 

[Chilli]

No worries Peach - how's the owrk thing going - ugh!!!

BK - hello and congratulations! Gosh so many of you here are plunging on with another pg already - lovely news.

I'm counting the days now and about to write my birth plan - although all went a bit out the window last time so not sure whether it's worth spending the time as ideal would go like this: I'll have this baby at home with my Mum, hubby and daughter, there wil be no pain or problems and we'll all be blissfully tucked up in bed within hours. However am actually going to hospital, having walking epidural and low threshold for c-section... eek!
Ought to get on with it really...

Just took my little girl in for her first day at school - she was sooooooo excited and looked gorgeous in her schooliform, but looked too small when we got there and made me cry - it'll never be the same again - might look into home schooling (wish I could afford to!)
