    Thank you!! I missed having you here to share the news.

    Such a shame for you... but your birth centre sounds like a really good one, being independent from the hospital. I'm sure you're going to have an awesome birth!!!

    Naw I missed all you guys too!!!!!

    I'm sure I will have an awesome birth, I'm just about finished Childbirth without fear, which is an awesome book for someone like me. I realise how scared I was last time and I don't have the same fears this time - actually, its pretty fair to say I have no fear at the moment and am looking FORWARD to it. Considering one of my first posts in this thread, I've come a long way

    Anyway - congrats to you and good luck to the rest of you lovely ladies waiting their turn!

    i have missed seeing you around Arimeh!!!! and wow, look at that ticker!! woot woo!! coming along nicely

    it is a real shame about the no homebirth...but i'm with Meow, your birth centre sounds fantastic, and i LOVE that it is a separate establishment from the hossy...completely different vibe i'd say!

    Sorry you're not getting a homebirth Arimeh, but the BC sounds good! Not too bad as compromises go

    We're all set for the birth - once we've finished eating the icecream that is (need the container for the placenta).
    Laura pretty much said they don't recommend suturing unless the tearing is quite extensive and/or bleeding lots, so I guess that sounds reasonable.

    yay for no stitches! i swear i didnt even notice the tear this time around! no stinging or anything!

    Marc: wow, i just looked at your sig!!!! you are definitely on the home stretch!!! oh my gosh it is all just so exciting!!! i wish i could relive Marta's birth all over again!!! i also wish that i had of remembered to film it. luckily my birth support midwife is also a professional photographer so she has taken some beautiful shots, but man i wish i had a video to remember it all....

    YAY Arimeh is back! I dont see why you cant stay and chat! I am probably not having one this time either but i still like to talk the talk!!

    Marcellus: you know i had trouble finishing the ice cream last time cause everytime i ate it i thought of my placenta being in it! Congrats on being all set, thats a nice feeling for you! I like the sound of your MW re the stitches!

    Meow: how you feeling??
