No way!! That's exactly what I was imagining when I said putting the seat in the baby bath!! How have I not seen one of these before lol!

Thanks Pos.. Another thing now added to my shopping list lol x

no problemo, i bought a basic baby bath from mothercare for £30 then saw this so went and took the mothercare one back, this one is so much better and cheaper!! xx

Yeah other kids can be so mean
Bullying and drugs. Argh.

 

[positivity :)]

Do you kno what worries me..

My baby being bullied in school!

I'm thinking well ahead here lol

i dont know why, but that made me laugh - its true what princess said, we are going to worry forever!!! xx

Mm if i'm thinking well ahead I'm worried about my child falling into a bad crowd like I did, or anyone hurting them. I can see me being quite protective I think!

 

[LoopyLouize]

Drugs are rife these days so yep that's another worry too!

Facebook seems to have changed teenagers too... The girls seem to put half naked profile pictures to obtain "likes" .. WTF...

 

[Princess81]

I also worry that my child would be the one to do the bullying, not that any of our family have ever been like that but stil..... I'd be mortified/furious.

I'm worried that because I'm having a VBAC I'll be stuck in one position strapped to a monitor. Forced to have an epidural as soon as I walk in the bloody room. I'm worried about my uterus rupturing and my baby dying, or me dying and leaving my oldest beautiful perfect son in the care of his piece of s!!t druggy abusive "father" WORST NIGHTMARE!! I'm worried about tearing. Then I'm worried about going overdue and needing a section.

You might say I'm a bit worried.

 

[Princess81]

jojo you'll be in good hands hun x

 

[Dollie]

Im scared of tears/stitches, complications and c-sections. I can handle the thought of the pain side and a straight forward labour, just really really dont want a section and scared of baby ending up in neonatal with tubes etc and going home without him - not that i have any reason to think this will happen....!
Bit worried about the january weather too and making it to the hospital

 

[suzzi]

im unsure how i feel at the moment, i am scared but think its coz its been 15 years since my last baby which was a quick and easy labour and worried this one will be hard and painful,

i just keep thinking yep its gonna hurt!! lol but then i think well ive done it twice so i can do it again

it doesnt help that ive not seen the same midwife always had a different one, so had to go over my notes each time so i forget to ask questions, feel as if im just a number x dont feel informed not been told about antenatel classes, no has mentioned my birth plan, and im sure in 15 years pain releif things must have changed but feel im going in blind x x

 

[Lulabell]

The only thing that worries me so far is my waters breaking in our bed I feel really calm and confident about the rest

What are your main concerns?

I'm exactly the same! Not worried about anything else, just my waters lol!xx

 

[pinkyprincess]

I'm like Pos worrying about problems! Not with him as we know so much of him is fine, more things that you start to realise when he's growing up. There is a man in our block with learning difficulties (my nanny used to teach people like that so I've grown up around it) what worries me is my child becoming someone else's burden when he's an adult because of an issue like that. This man has his own flat, and a job but he's constantly knocking on all the neighbours doors for things! Also the bullying thing, I was bullied predominately for being short (seriously is that the worst thing I can do lol!) along with other stuff and I don't think I could handle it happening to him, luckily my OH can be pretty scary when he wants to

In regards to birth I'm going in as open minded as possible and going to take it as it comes. No rigid plans as I don't see how I can plan for something I have no experience of! It'll be fine!!!!!

I'm like Pos worrying about problems!

im feeling more positive today, i think our baby boys will be fine i think we both went through that crap time early on so it sort of sticks doesn't it? like you think...he can't possibly be OK - but they will be xx

I still get nervous at scans, even though everyone I've had since my 12 week has been perfect! lol My OH said not too long ago that he'll only stop worrying when he's out and were both healthy!

that's how i feel, until he is out and has been checked by a doctor i won't relax - all because of a stupid blood test reading but then again, i can't complain that they take these things seriously either xxx

 

[Emmsy29]

This is my forth baby and im more scared now than i have been about the others. Only because all my babys are back to back and its agony! So midwife has reasurred me that when i go into labour she'll come out and check what position babys in if o/p then ill have epidural(never had one before) but im staying positve, just focusee on ur breathing and u'll be fine, xx

 

[sazboo2]

having to have a ceaserian, absolutly petrified of that, so much so that i want to be put out if i have to have one, asked my widwife about it, the reply was 'we will cross that bridge when we come to it', er, thanks, that helped oh so much

other than that im fine.............................oh god what if hes a CHAV!

I THINK ILL GO FOR A LIE DOWN, IM STARTING TO HAVE VISIONS OF BURBERRY SHELL SUITS

 

[Samsgirl]

I'm usually totally in control with pain - says she who has never been in labour before

I have IBS and when it plays up the pain does nearly floor me, the worst time I thought I might actually die there an then on the loo and that is no exaggeration. Yet I was totally calm and silent, although the sweat was pourring out of me. My miscarriage was also painful but I stayed calm through it too (bar sadness). I find it difficult to imagine stronger pain than my IBS that worst time, we shall see, bet you a grand I eat my words after birth

im with you on that one....i have had some ibs attacks in my life where i have literally been sat on the loo panting like i was in labour and as if i was going to die...i just think, if i can cope with that and just have a poo to look forward to (sorry tmi...lol) then i can cope with pain for boo boo...although i am still petrified of the unknown...

plus my miscarriage was also painful...was getting proper contraction type pains in the hospital, which i thought was IBS!...who knows...i will maybe cope better than i think....

i just want it over with..but then im also terrified of having this little baby to look after...so all in all i am just terrified...ha ha xx

Hi Ladies,
Just wanted to reassure some of you about having Episiotomy, I had mine just 2 and a half weeks ago and I have had no problems with it. It was a little sore but not enough really to take any pain killers. It didn't hurt at all to pee or poo so honestly its not that bad. I'm sure some people really suffer but not all
As for the labour, I was induced by drip - and ended up having an epidural which I really didn't think I would. Definitely keep an open mind as you never know what might happen. Anyone thinking they are not good coping with pain, think about an epidural - It is amazing to think something can completely take the pain away.

Good luck with your labours, It will all be fine and remember you get the most amazing thing from it
xxxxx

The thought of labour is pretty scary, especially if its your first baby. I had my first baby 3 weeks ago and I got my waters broke and induced by drip. I used gas and air (which I highly recommend!). I also opted for the epidural which didnt actually work for me (the doctor said it doesnt always work for everyone) but I was ok, and by the end I stopped using the gas and air as I felt it was holding me back. childbirth is the most natural thing ever, your womanly instincts kick in and just gets you through it. I also had to get an episiotomy and I tore, but I didnt actually feel any of that. I really didnt think I was going to manage labour but its amazing what our bodies are actually capable of And now I have my beautiful baby boy who means the world to me
