I know this is an old post... but just had to post. Arthur was on my list for DS2. But I decided against it when he was born as I just don't like Art/Artie. We're in Australia and EVERYONE gets nicknamed!!! We ended up going with Percy. I wasn't sure at first but LOVE it now. Old names are...

I was GBS positive and they gave me the antibiotics through a canula in my hand every 4 hours - it doesn't take long - the first dose was bigger and the second dose was really quick to administer... 1 min or so I wanted to be mobile this labour as I was stuck on the bed with my first baby. I...

Well - I've finally got around to posting my lovely birth! Woke up on Tuesday morning (31st) and did my usual routine... getting DS up, we both had breakfast... all going well... then I was just putting on a nappy wash. I went to stand up and then... uh-oh... felt liquid trickling down. It...

She is so gorgeous! Congrats!!!

Thank you all... we're all very happy! I felt so empowered after labour! Wishing you all labours that smooth. Does make me a bit scared to do it again - imagine it even quicker than that!! Pam - The idea was to be given antibiotics every 4 hours through a canula. Its nothing to worry...

Well - I've queue jumped a bit!!! But our little boy Percy Wolfgang arrived on 31st August at 5:55pm. Waters broke at 8:30am... no contractions. Was GBS positive so they wanted to induce me... induced at 4pm... 1st contraction 5pm... 55 minutes later I had a baby boy!!!! Wow that was...

I'm going slightly mad too... I've been kind of semi-expecting bub for the last 2 weeks already - I had DS at 35 weeks!!! This bubba seems quite happy in there! I'm bound to go over with this one... ahhhhh that is going to feel like a long wait from 35 weeks to 40+ weeks :lol: I want to...

Great bump!! Wow can't believe they said they don't want to see you!!! In Australia they are seeing me once a week from 37... it's kind of difficult dragging DS to the hospital and waiting for about 1.5hours each time!!!! :P He gets very bored!!

Hi all Just had an Ob appointment - shheeeesh I prefer the midwives! The docs can be so rude and abrupt!!!! Anyways - she said that the baby is 3/5 ceph. Well I know the ceph bit means bub is head down... I know that as there is a big bottom that likes to poke out up the top of my belly :D...

I had terrible sciatica when I was PG with DS1. I found leaning forward over things used to take the pressure off the nerve... I was told it would go away as soon as bub was born (it didn't... but fear not... I had a freaky lump that was squashing my spinal cord... so actually nothing to do...

Congratulations!!! Lovely name.... always been one of my faves.

Congratulations! Glad to hear you are so positive about your labour :D The prize at the end kind of makes the rest seem less significant....

Good Luck! Hope you have a nice quick induction and labour!! :D

I've been sleepless for a few weeks now - not through being uncomfy. I wake up in the middle of the night (usually for a pee!!!) and then I lie there all wide awake. I try not to get up because (wishful thinking) I think I might fall asleep again... and its sooooo hard entertaining my toddler...

Congratulations!!! Phewf - that was a looooong labour!!! Hope you're recovering well...
