With the time difference was Jen and The Mrs in labour at the same time?

Has anyone heard from Special? Starting to get excited now i am close to the top of the list!

**meow** · January 2nd, 2014, 06:15 AM

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

**Arcadia** · January 2nd, 2014, 06:46 AM

The Mrs that is a seriously great photo. I can feel the emotion of that moment! Love it! Congrats on your new bubba and your HBaC

**Special** · January 3rd, 2014, 08:58 PM

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.

**Arcadia** · January 3rd, 2014, 09:05 PM

Mama midwives in Kensington might hire them out?

Eenee I an about to read your story now!!!!!

I believe this is an issue with Tapatalk. I will flag for admin though and see if anyone has any other ideas
