Possibly? Jennifer's baby was born around 5pm Dec 31st in our time zone... what time was Freya born The Mrs?

The list seems to be racing along now

I am here.

I check in most days but I haven't been posting much.
I am 36 weeks now and finally in the last 2 days am I starting to get into it. I have washed baby clothes and set up the cot (which he'll never use, but makes it look like a baby is coming.)

My first 3 pregnancies I never felt any BH/contractions towards the end, and they all went to 40-41 weeks. This one is so different - I am so very aware of him moving and my uterus doing it's thing.

I met with my back-up midwife and she is lovely, and since that meeting I am feeling quite good about it all.
I haven't organised a birth pool though. Anyone in Melbourne (West) know where I could try? My midwife has a metal one, but I really find the inflatable ones appealing.
