another quiet stalker here


DH met my hb midwife last week which was great...he is slightly freaked out he will have to siphon the pool water out with his mouth

haha! my dh was also worried that that would be how he'd have to siphon it off lol! i couldnt stop laughing and then showed him how to siphon it off sans mouth (he was relieved to say the least hahahaha!)

hey HB ladies - just a quick question - did you all still have scans? 12 wk and 20 week?
Just curious

Beautiful Arcadia!

sneakysparkle: yep. had both scans and bloods etc. just didnt do the GTT or the GBS.

[Antheia]

I had a dating scan at 7-8 weeks, and then a scan at 20 weeks. I didn't have the 12-13 week NT scan because no matter the outcome of that scan I wasn't going to terminate so there was no point in me having it done. I didn't have any blood tests at all. Not the GTT. Didn't have the GBS swab either.

^same here^

The henna was done by a woman who comes to your home/event and she does about ten people an hour...there are a few around...I just went with whoever was available that day. Look up gumtree or just google mendhi or henna artist

i have everything crossed that bubba will be in your arms in no time sweet birthing mama

*mwah* hard to focus on with prelabour and all that jazz, but this is a wonderful, magical journey you are about to go on, embrace, smile and go with it have you read over your last birth story? i read yours in the days before I had marta and it really helped to get me there xx
