B-Day approaches

[miffy]

Wayne it sounds so exciting, my son is 18 in March and it only seems like five minutes since i gave birth to him.
I can honestly say it was love at first sight, it was over whelming. I have never felt so happy, scared, excited and in awe all at the same time.
Being a parent is the best, best thing in the world for me.
Good luck to you both and i look forward to hearing the happy news, take carexx

A colleague of my husband's got fed up of waiting for their overdue child - many years ago, this. He decided to try and get her excited so he took her to see the Charge of the Light Brigade!

(Didn't work!)

My first daughter was 9 days late, I was threatened with the orange and caster oil mixture. Husband picked up the wrong kind of oil he got codliver oil. No way I was going to drink the stuff, same night went into labour.

.

Same happened with me but I was dumb enough to drink it! Needless to say I was violently sick in labour, and got called a "silly girl" by the midwife mindyou she was right!

Any twangs today HW? Today's my sweepstake day so just asking!

I'll check in later [and on bookface] to see if there is any movement - so to speak.

I have it on good authority, from my Mum, that the best way to hurry a baby up is to push your husband's car out of a snowdrift . It's why I was two weeks early.

but I've never been early for anything since - except dinner lol

My eldest son was 12 days late and they were going to start me off, so I did the oil and orange sure enough I was ILL and I mean ILL did the job though, he was born at 2.46am on the day they had told me to be in the hospital.

If you go overdue though, rubbing it round the bump circular motion definitely helps to get things moving

I do that every night - I give Bean a stroke, head to rump and have a little talk so he/she gets used to my voice.

I'm being boringly practical with this post HW, but has Lady W got some arnica tablets to take after the birth? I may be teaching my grandmother to suck eggs as you may know all about them, but they really helped with the bruising after I had my little ones.

They have been mentioned to me on a few occasions, have suggested to LadyWayne. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Nothing today I'm afraid - we did go out with some friends last night, and they were the first people we saw after we'd found out Bean was coming, so we thought they may be the last people we saw before Bean arrived...

My sister was overdue so i took her for a ride in my mini over lots of hump back bridges!!
She went into labour that night.
Nephew loves minis,though i think that is just a coincedence!!
