awww thts adorable!! how old is he?

Jacob is 3 on the 1st June and hes had me in tears loads with how he says hes a big brother, baby brother in my tummy, how he will share his tractor etc etc. Its so adorable & cannot wait for him to finally meet !

Ooh I'm jealous of the cleaner too!!! I love cleaning but now Cole is here I want to spend that time with him. I want a cleaner

I must admit its a luxury we can't really afford and will have to stop when baby is here but whilst I'm pregnant and can't do a lot, we thought it'd be a good idea, esp with 2 dogs. The dog hair after just one day is unbelieveable!
I wish we could keep her permanently but I doubt that'll happen

God this is torture
Still getting contractions but they haven't got any worse, still about 10-15 mins apart, lasting for 10-15 seconds.
I'm restless, bored and frustrated
Considering going for a walk to see if it helps... Come on baby B!

I feel attached to my hospital, but that said I don't want to go back out of principle because of the aftercare. But I'm 90% sure I will.

Thing is I'll feel totally different next time because it's my 2nd baby. I won't "need" them as much (if fingers crossed all goes well) and hopefully I'll be out fairly quickly.
They just gave me a horrible aftercare at the time I needed them most!! i.e. first baby & scared!!!

What about you? x

Yea I'll definitely go back. They were great from beginning to end. Its further out than my "local" maternity hospital so less convenient for appointments but I can't fault them in the slightest

That's fair enough hun, sounds like you've been busy what with getting married!

Yeah I think after 3 days I wanted another baby lol. Going to ttc at the end of the year hopefully xx

We were talking about "next time" the day I had Eabha! More J than me tho lol

 

[Jess<3]

I wish I could go back to where I had Jacob. It's 4 hours away though as we were in army then!!

I'm scared to have this baby at our hospital here as all I hear is awful awful stories. One friend of the family was sent home at 7cm and she ended up having baby in her bedroom!!
Another friend of a friend had her baby on the toilet from been sent home :/

Argh omg talk about baby brain. Or plain stupidness!!!

Forgot to put a nappy on jacob for bed. Resulting in wet bed and early shower with lots of tears this morning. *facepalm*
He's been dry for god knows how long in the day but nights are still a big no no at the min. Which to be fair he does drink a lot in the afternoon so would be very hard to keep dry :/

Lovely lot of laundry to get done and dried for tonight since his blanket he's had since baby is wet too!! Ugh just what I need this morning!!

Good news I'm at hair dressers soon for a trim, sort eyebrows and maybe pedicure if can squeeze me in. then it's my baby shower my sister's insisted on throwing

Must admit I hate when that happens!! Wet smelly bed sheets etc - I'm lucky doesn't happen too often now - but must admit I still sleep walk my youngest son to the loo before I go to bed if he's had a lot to drink in the late afternoon, just in case!

some times he get up and does it himself too - he just wakes me up to tell me he's gone to the loo

 

[PrincessPeach]

Oh bless you Jess!!!! Sounds like a crappy morning, but the hairdressers and baby shower sounds lovely, so hopefully your day will get lots better!!!

Girls- when did your waters go?
Before contractions or before actual birth?
Did you have a show?
I've heard so many different stories of friends labours where it's really varied, I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect.
I'm having contractions but I've not had a show nor have my waters gone x

 

[SammieAnn87]

Aaawww how far along are u Jess?
My friends are throwin me on in June im very excited..my mums comin so I invited my MIL and to my utter suprise she said yes (she can b rather miserable!).

Yeh I used t take lucas t tue toilet when I went to bed, if his had a late night n something t drink late even now at almost 5 I take him t the toilet and he doesnt really wake up.. wet sheets are no fun tho!
Hair dressers sounds good always nice t have a pamper

Hi hun x

Mine went "just" as my epidural was going in when I was about 4/5cms dilated, so during labour for me. They continued to leak throughout labour, and the rest came out when Amelia was born. My "show" was a very bloody one, and again that continued to come out during labour, rather than before hand.
That said, I think everything happened during labour for me because I never had any signs before hand! Not even a niggle! xx

 

[Dubchick81]

Mine went first before anything else happened. No sign of anything starting when they went
