My labour watch thread - he is here :D Birth story in the labour section!

[i.love]

Jayceesmumma yeah I know! And we will need to think about contraception again - nightmare! I think my husband and I are very likely to forget about contraception, we are so used not to worry about it! That wouldn't be very clever, would it...

If only there was a way that LO could tell u when they are going to come?! I mean, all these signs and then it fizzling out into nothing is quite hard to keep dealing with in a way! I know some people find the not knowing exciting but I am very impatient at the best of times and a control freak.....the not knowing is really starting to get to me but I am trying to do my best to be patient and wait for my little man to make his exit! lol xxxx

well they do tell us - that is, to our bodies, and that's what triggers the labour. So it's a shame that our bodies cannot actually explain what's happening to our brains if you know what I mean

Contraception?? I'm going celibate after this one lmao!!!

 

[i.love]

lol I guess that's also an extreme version of contraception

 

[Jayceesmumma]

I don't think I could handle another pregnancy like this it's annoying coz I have pcos (that clearly doesn't affect my fertility) and the only way to manage it is to go on the pill which I can't have due to migraines and risk of stroke.. I know there are many options, but they freak me out like the coil and implant.. Foreign object in my body.. can't do it! We can't use condoms either so I don't know what we r gonna do lol!!

 

[mum2b410]

I was on the pill before, but can't have that when BF as far as I know.......so if I end up BF gonna have to have a re-think on that front!

U really have limited options done u JM? What about implant? I know what u mean about coil etc and I feel the same! xx

 

[mum2b410]

* don't u (sorry, being clumsy on the keys!)

 

[lewisca]

I'm thinking coil as i've suffer with migraines too so pill not really an option. cant do the implant as dont like needles !!!(i know i have tatoos but that doesnt look like a needle ) and dont fancy have it cut out !!! have told oh he could have the snip and he doesnt seem too adverse to the idea !!! xxx

 

[Jayceesmumma]

No way.. Implant is a foreign object!! And u can feel it under the skin and everything I dont know what we can do.. It's not like I can work out when I ovulate and just dont do it then.. Coz I have v irregular cycles due to pcos..
Defo gonna have to ask someone about it all after baby!

 

[lewisca]

I really dont like the idea of the inplant !!! friend has the coil and seems to get on with it still a forgein object though !!! although u dont feel it !!! will have to do some serious thinking too !!! xxxx

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Heard so many horror stories about the coil I could never do it!! I can't even use tampons

 

[mum2b410]

Looks like your OH is having a versectomy then?!..........xx

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Lol I doubt it.. This will be his first and I'm sure he won't want it to be his last!

 

[lewisca]

more babies for Jayceemumma then !!!!! i'm going to work on oh to get the snip !!! he keeps saying this is the last one !!! xxx

 

[Jayceesmumma]

dunno bout that lol!! Let's see how this labour goes!!

 

[i.love]

I haven't really thought about it yet, but you girls got me thinking... I guess I'll need to talk to my mw or something later.

I think we might go for condoms, but they break too often Implants and coils sound too scary for sure!

 

[redbear]

Back on the pill for me It worked well for five year until i stopped it but its such a pain in the arse... read that they are bringing out a male pill (some mag at the hospital) so i will put OH on that lol x

 

[i.love]

redbear I've heard that a few years ago, but still don't know anyone who would actually have men pill...

I was also on pill for ages. I think a bit too long... Not sure I want to do it again.

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Oooh a man pill??? May look into that!!!!
