1st stage of labour..

[Chalia]

Also just wanted to post mainly to ask is Chalia your first name? I've just never heard it before but I really love it very beautiful do pronounce the "Ch" the same was as in child or as an sh? have to keep it in mind for future bubs!!! goodluck with everything!

thanks for your replies...i guess im getting a little excited with the arrival, i thought that it may be the near same lenght of time as my second bubs.. but positioning will also come into it ..but still a bit apprehensive as it not to be too short as well .. i guess be prepared either way and have my support people readly notified in advance

As for my forum name thankyou Jas ... it is actually made up to the first 3 letters of my 2 childrens names.. after creating it i too found it very appealing for a girls name .. the Ch is pronounced as a 'Sh'... seeing that im having a boy soon you are most welcome to keep it in mind ..that if, our Charlie, to be a girl we will still keep the name... DD n DS have already refering to the bubs as 'Charlie'

I have no scientific basis for this, but in my experience

first babies take their time
second babies make a quick arrival
and third babies do what they like
