Thanks for the soothing words... although i'm still welling up and sobbing just thinking about it!!! I decided to call local midwife this morning and ask questions, I recieved lots of reassurance but when I asked specific questions like can I have Gas and Air whilst they inject my back and arm...

Just come back from RUH in Bath, I had my 36 week scan (as I was told the placenta was low at 20 weeks). I never really took it too seriously, as this is my fourth baby and in the previous 3 births, all were delivered vaginally. I was told this morning I would have to have a c-section as there...

Sex is an option OH is very willing to try.. He finds me very attractive when i'm preggers and cant enough, I don't think he'll need telling twice! If that doesn't work scrubbing out the oven! Claire :lol:

hehe... you'd think that the fourth would be on time but I don't want to get my hopes up. The first two births were spot on and the third was 12 days over. I'd love this to be exact as it would help get my child care sorted when i go into labour.... (some hope I know!) :lol: My mother thought...

Hello, I'm on my fourth child (due in 9 weeks). I'm 5 ft and have a size 3 shoe! on my first pregnancy i thought the hospital would have recoomended a c section, but i was wrong. I have had 3 relatively easy labours and gave birth naturally to all of them. The Midwife will probably recommend a...

Hello everyone, I've got 9 weeks to go and this is my fourth baby, I was wondering if any of you had any ideas/myths/suggestions on how to get labour started. I was told, fresh pineapple, curries, walks and lots of sex! Are there any more ideas and have any of these suggestions worked for...

I know how you feel.... This is my fourth baby and i still have 10 weeks to go! Try to keep as mobile as possible, this could help to get things moving, alternatively, when speaking to midwife ask her if she could examine you internally and give you a sweep... I had this on my 2nd and 3rd child...

Sorry... Me and partner have always had high libidos... I'm used to thinking most people have it often and never mention how many times. I can always find some 'me' time with my partner!!!! (Probably best not to mention how many times on the weekend then!) :lol:

Hi, Had a scan this week and they said the placenta is very low and touching the opening. Hopefully it should move up and they want to check in ten weeks. I'm 23 weeks pregnant and this my fourth baby. When i mentioned it to my friend, by email that it was low lying, she said she had the same...

Having all my jabs/tests tomorrow and i have an irrational fear of needles. I have done this three times before so you'd expect i would be okay, but still feel incredibly nervous. I have my nosey four year old coming this time, as she isnt at school. So i have to act brave. (Baby is due in...

Please help, I have 3 daughters with unusual names, they are: Clarice Wilhelmina Mary (known as Clarrie)... Isobel Evelyn Amy-Kay (known as Tiggy) and Matilda Claribel Rose (known as Tilly). I used up all my favourites and wasnt expecting to have another child! haha. Well the jokes on me as I'm...

Hiya, my names Claire, just found out I'm pregnant with baby number four... I havent told my girls yet, as i havent found an appropriate time. I have 3 daughters aged 14, 11 and 4, and I'm hitting 38 in a few months. There wasnt websites like this when i had my first two kids, so this all a bit...
