I just read your comment on the main page about the butt paste. My mother in law recomended it and even went as far as finding me samples because I told her it was to expensive and I wasn't spending that much on something that wasn't guarenteed to work. She swore it was great and she was right, but I didn't know it worked for eczema too. I've got two children with it and will have to try the butt pase on them next time one of them gets a breakout. Thanks for sharing the tip with all of us!

thanks, i actually have some but i haven't opened it yet, looks like a good time to crack it open, i'll kick myself if after all this time there's been a little cure sitting in a basket under her changing table, lol.

ugh - when will this baby come out! am very jealous of anyone who is no longer pregnant! sorry for delay in writing back but have been avoiding the site as the 41 week board just seems full of people moaning about wanting inductions, and then being surprised when they end up with c sections! oh and people carrying on about how painful labour is, and then of course the odd dead baby story just to make you suicidal if the rest of the comments weren't depressing enough :) I thought I would avoid the site til the baby was out but the baby is stubborn and my morbid curiosity brought me back! hope you are charlie are well!

Hi hon! Aw I can't wait to see pics :)

I am SO ready for this baby to come - nervous for the labour, but more keen to get it over with! Firstly so my shoes can fit me again, I can stop swelling like a whale, and my knees can stop hurting LOL. I've hit THAT stage, where I'm just one big list of complaints hehehe. *sigh*

I'm getting the feeling that we will be going a tad overdue, I think, I'm still getting lots of BH contractions, but no actual contractions, false or otherwise *sigh* lol

Hope all is going well with you and the family! Will keep you posted! Hoping for good news soon! XX

aw wow - please do put up pics of him in his lil sweater when it's done! how cute!

I'm doing really well! Had a GREAT appointment at the doc's today - getting my glucose intolerance under control and eating the equivalent of cardboard for 8 weeks has slowed the baby's growth, so instead of his whopping 5 pounds at 31 weeks, he is now a healthy 6.5 - 7 pounds at 38 weeks, and shouldn't be more than 8 pounds to deliver... I can have a normal birth! I am so thrilled, I almost cried. They wanted to do a pelvic exam today to see whether I'd be able to get him out or whether we'd have to C-sect, but once they measured him again (twice), they said it wouldn't be necessary this week, and that there was no longer any need to consider even an early induction. it's wonderful news!

Anyway do keep in touch!

Thanks for your reassuring email! I was nervous (and excited) about my first homebirth experience and then when I started being in so much pain BEFORE the birth I got a little scared. Fortunately I got adjusted last week and my pain is pretty much gone! I love chiropractic!!! :) Congrats on your new little one.

katherinec - Saturday, 24 May
do we really have to love them? :)

yup we also don't know what we're having, though I think its a boy. Though I have no idea really! did you have any intuition about it?

I have to say with Charlie waking up only once during the night - that sounds impressive for quite so soon after the birth. what is the secret?! :)

nancy26 - Saturday, 24 May
Hi hon! so glad to hear that nursing is going well! Certainly sounds like you have NO issues with milk production - lovely that Dan can get involved in the weekend feeds so you can get some rest! The little sweater sounds SO cute! Please post photo's when it's done! lol

All is well here- just entering the big wait - 2nd day of maternity leave and loving it so far... enjoying this last little quiet time between myself and my precious boy before he graces us with his presence. I am very nervous about the labour suddenly, but I think this is normal... isn't it? lol I keep telling myself this is what we were designed for... sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't! He's dropped though, my abdomen is nice and soft at the top, and I'm not getting pokey little feet in my ribs anymore... lots of pressure when I go to the bathroom!

anyway keep well and hope to hear from you soon!

katherinec - Friday, 16 May
sorry for the delay in writing back - I've been working on a presentation which I did yesterday. now I can maybe buy some things for the baby - I hear they do not come fully equipped! :)
yeah my mother in law is being a pain in the ass - and its getting tricky because we haven't told her we're having a home birth, and she's making noises like she's going to come camp out at the hospital. hmmm, what hospital?! it will be interesting to see how this one plays out :)
wishing your baby lots of sleepy thoughts!

nancy26 - Wednesday, 14 May
hey hon - I'm so relieved to hear that nursing isn't as bad as some people make it out to be - I was getting really worried there for a bit. I suppose as long as you're getting it right you're all right! Already tiring though to hear that it's true that breastfed babies feed more often/don't sleep for as long! LOL. I'd best prepare myself!

Funny you say you don't feel like you were ever pregnant lol. I sometimes still don't "feel" pregnant... then I'll cross my arms, or move funny and get a huge kick... and then I sit there and dote on my belly for hours, and watch him rolling in there... it's the most insane black/white feeling ever! lol

I hope all is well with you otherwise! So wonderful that your hubby dotes on the little one... I can't wait to see J with his son :) I think I'm definitely going to cry! lol. Catch up again soon!

nancy26 - Thursday, 8 May
hi honey! I am SO glad to hear that all is well with your precious little family! What a lovely name for your son ;) his first name is the same as my dad's, and my grand-dad's - nice choice! lol. Did you find nursing particularly hard at first? I am desperate to breastfeed for the first 3 - 4 months at LEAST (before I come back to work), but to be honest, am having slight anxiety about it, as everyone I've spoken to makes it seem so hard, especially for first timers (with all the comments re pain and perserverance) LOL.

I can't believe it is only a matter of weeks until I meet my little one. I am SO excited. I can't wait to see how J deals with him. He is wide-eyed at the moment, and getting quieter the closer the due date comes, but is already so smitten and excited by him... :) I think it's first time nerves! I have the same thing! lol

Anyway you keep well and I'll catch up with you soon!

katherinec - Saturday, 3 May
congratulations! I hope little charles is letting you sleep some :)
enjoy!

nancy26 - Thursday, 1 May
congrats my sweetheart! So happy for you!! What is the little angel's name? All is wonderful here thanks! Just playing the waiting game! 7 weeks left tomorrow and counting! can't wait to meet my little man... never loved anyone like this before, it's an amazing feeling, but I'm very emotional and high strung at the moment, especially with the stress at work... I'm angry a lot of the time, almost blindingly so, but I heard an old wives' tale that this is often the case with pregnancies with boys!

I hope all is well with you and the family, and congrats again!

baby.bray - Thursday, 1 May
massive congratulations - a little charlie! (my name is charlie lol)I thought that you surely must have had him since you hadnt been on the site for so long (and the fact that you were 13 days over when I left a comment) my baby still hanging in there but my due date isnt until 7th and we are comfortable so I'm happy... the only thing that makes me feel like I'm getting closer is the nesting instinct that I got today - gonna do some decdorating over this bank holiday weekend in the UK x

baby.bray - Thursday, 24 April
thought I'd ask how you and your baby are doing, 13 days over your EDD hope you are still comfortable x but by the time you get this you may have given birth lol x

jjhills1st! - Wednesday, 23 April
I really apperciate all the info! Thank you! Im going to check out that website tonight! I agree, it seems to me getting your foot in the door somewhere would be the hardest part. I was thinking about calling some local doctors offices to see if they are open to contract work at home, and what certification, and experience level they require.
Thats awesome it has worked out for you so well!

baby.bray - Wednesday, 23 April
thanks chick - it seems like you can't say anything without offending someone lol x it seems that now is the time to be losing mucus plugs but nothing for me so far yet... I wanted to have a home birth, everytime I lay in my bath I think that its perfect for a water birth but my other half wont hear of it - but I'm happy so long as baby is and they dont let me go 12-14 days over and then perform an emergancy c-section which has happened to 4 of my friend in the last 12 months, I suppose the pro's and cons have to be weighed up with an induction at that point - it just worries me that its happened to so many x good luck with everything x

kelsul - Tuesday, 22 April
loved your message to that littlemama89. i agree with you too! it seems like everyone is scheduling their inductions. weird. i am all for going into labor naturally. and i have been waiting over a year for a baby. i miscarried last year in the 2nd trimester. if anyone is ready it's me LOL.
i am not against c-sections or inducing labor if it is medically necessary. but how ever it happens, as long as we all end up with healthy babies, that is what matters.. well done. and good luck.

Calypso - Tuesday, 22 April
I was thinking maybe because I'm dilating? Maybe thats why I have that pain? It feels like I did too much excersize and than the next day you are sore. Or riding a horse and not used to it and than the next day you feel that pain between your thighs? Im going to my doctor tomorrow and I will tell him, hopefully he will tell me I am 5 cm! LOLOL with all that pain I should be opening up right? Ha!

Calypso - Tuesday, 22 April
Hi, I am very petite too. I am 5ft tall and I sterted this pregnancy at 105lbs!! I am up to 142lbs as of last week and I feel like I am about to burst any minute. This past two weeks I can't count how many people asked me if I am having twins!! I am having so much pain here and there. I am having these pains between my legs like I have been riding an elephant! I keep on getting menstrual cramps like and backache, hopefully tomorrow doctor will give me some good news that I am dilated more. I was 2cm last week but I haven't lost my mucus plug yet. I didn't loose it either with my first my water broke after doctor stripped my membranes. Anyway, hopefully all will go well with our pregnancies, whats left of it!!! Good Luck and hope you have a fast and safe labour!

I like it very much the way you “say it like it is”. I agree 100% about the C-section (that scares me to death). How anyone can choose this is beyond me. Induction: I’ve been induced once and that’s 1x too many. That was out of necessity as my water broke…but no contractions were coming, waited almost 24 hours after and I knew something had to be done and baby needed to come out. BUT those contractions were the absolute worse in my entire life. Absolutely not natural. My last 5 kids were home births. Wishing you all the best / hoping you hold your little one real soon. **hugs**

Calypso - Tuesday, 22 April
Thank God somebody stood up for this littlemama89. She has been complaining and sound ticked out off for a while now. She is in the same week as me and she wanted this baby out long time ago. I too am over due but I don't come online to chew people's head off for no reason. Thanks for people like you who know what to say to people like her!

KrysAndBundleOfBoy - Tuesday, 22 April
Yup ! and " on time" is what my baby makes it ! im terrified of c-sections anyway! No one is cutting into me !
i was supposed to have surgery to remove scar tissue in my check over 11 years ago, decided no ill wait it out, now its gone, just like waiting out for baby :)
Labour dust to you :) *x*x*
