Thanks all. I have been pretty good with the food - avoiding most things. I ate the brie by mistake - realised after I had the sandwich and then got the guilts! I find that a lot of the food to avoid, I don't feel like anyway. I think it would be easy to become fanatical - so much easier to be sensible.
Glad everyone is okay, JO great to hear about bub is doing well!!!
Relle we have to catch up!!!
I have the worst heartburn and DR D gave me a prescription for it god he reckons i am going to have another very hairy baby!! Well with 2 woggy parents it's no surprise!
I am looking at some techniques to help me cope with labour this time, so any suggestions would be good girls, What about hypno birthing or calm birthing?
Apparently in about 7 months I will be a qualified midwife - yikes!

Hey Ros,
OMG you ppor thing on the heartburn! I found the gaviscon cool tablets in the tiny green plastic bottles were the best. I was so hooked on them by the end of my pregnancy with Angus that I still wanted them after he was born! lol I am cacking myself laughing at the woggy parents - you are hilarious!
Hun I think Calmbirth is a great idea for you with this labour. A Calmbirth teacher would be able to give you the tools to help. I think too that you may be tensing up as you are recalling your posterior labour with Jayden and how excrutiating that was, and you are getting a "block" at the same place each time. Calmbirth is supposed to be really good for helping you work through those sorts of things as well.
Yes we do have to catch up! heheheheh Life is soo crazy at the moment, I have 2 new Doula clients as well, so 5 births coming up and fitting those appointments in is bedlam, along with no days without all of the boys - Even on tuesdays when I am doing appointments I generally have Angus with me as well.
Hi Ros -- while my birth may not exactly be one you would like to emulate (looongggg!) I did active birthing classes. I found them fantastic and very reinforcing of my own beliefs etc In combo with yoga it was a very good way to focus my mind and body (and hell I needed it!!) The other thing I can not recommend highly enough and made the BIGGEST difference to my labour (which would have been HIDEOUS without) is a doula. It makes all the diff to have continuous care and to have someone who is focused only on you and help help walk you through the valley of darkness .... I can HIGHLY recommend a doula birth junkie to you!
Hey Ros, heartburn is awful! I only had it with Marley (and she had no hair!) but mainly self inflicted. I was addicted to drinking Coke, not a good thing lol!! Two of the girls in my baby buddies did hypnobirthing, Mayaness did it before her DS was born in June 06 and Roryrory has just finished it, her bub is due in Dec 07. Rory thought it was brilliant in resolving some issues she had with her first labour. You could PM them if you want more info, I am sure they would be happy to give some more details.
Relle - you need to duplicate yourself! You need to be in so many places. A double would be good lol!!!! Hope those hedgehogs tasted nice, pity you can't post some too me, would love some with my coffee right now!
Nox - how are things going with DS? Is he settling any better for you?
Jo - excellent news about your scan. Would love to hear the "long story" about the name.
