Hi, I want to buy a bouncer that my baby can enjoy from now. I'm not a big fan of the vibrating ones, so which one would you say is a good buy?

finally 5 minutes in which I wouldn't rather sleep to tell you my story and show you some pics insha'Allah. I was due for an induction on 7th... However at about 11pm the night before as I was packing the last couple of things in my hospital bag I bent over to reach for a low drawer and I...

Hi everybody, I'm getting induced the day after tomorrow (because I have low fluid) ... so it looks like I'm gonna beat someone in the March race :hug:

I say watch it. I am VERY squeamish, so much so that a birth video I watched from somewhere in this forum gave me a panic attac (and it was short, not much blood and the poor woman barely made a sound!). But I do recommend you watch this because it is beautiful. SKIP THE EPISIOTOMY BIT...

It would be great if he decided to come tomorrow... although I'm not holding my breath :?

I have been losing some mucus int he past few days, but not the big gross lump I imagined, just little quantities... ...I want the proper gross stuff!!! :cheer: COME ON BABY!

Why do you get sweeps? Does everyone get them?

I started being measured at 30 weeks... but I just need to count the stretchmarks on my tummy/sides and see how bright a shade of red they are to tell you how much I've grown :wink:

That's the one thing that scares me: Not labour or pain... but isolation. I am the kind of person that HAS TO be outside everyday, even just to pop down to the cornershop to get milk, or I go crazy. None of my relatives (or my husband's for that matter) live in this country, most my...

I used to get it quite a lot, yes. After hitting 35/36 weeks I got some relief on that front... so hang in there!

That's what the midwife told me earlier today. Heart and growth are fine (estimated 3 kg :cheer: ) and the head appears to be "well down". I can tell, I'm feeling loads of pressure... She kept going on about the possibility of me going into labour ANYTIME from next week :shock: :shock...

WOW that looks great! love the giraffe theme :wink: ...I feel bad...I still ahven't got anything for the nursery as I am (HOPEFULLY) moving from my 1bed flat to a 3bed house this weekend :cheer: ...I hope my little one doesn't decide to make an early appearance :shock:

If you are talking about bare survival a baby is viable at 24 weeks so as someone said above 50% of babies born at 24 weeks would live BUT a baby born that early is very likely to have complications, some of which can be long term, very serious and/or last his whole life. I read somewhere...

...yes, excitement AND that^^ it gets more and more uncomfortable... :?

Me too I can't wait!!! This is my first, so I have no idea how bad is gonna be. Still, I'm very excited and I can'y wait :cheer: I had what was probably a braxton-hicks 2 days ago and I sort of froze :shock: probably because now it feels like I've been pregnant forever and it's hard to...
