    Ring my mum
    Well 3rd time I rang DH first coz he had to travel 2 hours to me, then I called mum.
    But I paced the house for a bit with a peanut butter sandwich first
    Then a shower to wash my hair & have a bit of a tidy up. Then off to make sure I had everything I needed.

    HAHA! i was thinking of this when i was showering yesterday. I was thinking when i know im in labour and its for real to make sure my legs, underarms and even bikini line are shaved LOL

    THEN i would make sure i have everything packed.. but i would call the hospital first

    But just incase i have been keeping myself well groomed. Thought i better when i had my scare at 27 weeks and my legs resembled DP's and 'down there' was yes not very nice!

    According to a friend of mine, a beard trimmer is the way to go, lol.
    She normally wax's but got slack in pregnancy, then towards the end she decided she'd feel sorry for anyone who'd have to look down there & couldn't see anything herself, so she perched herself in front of the mirror with her DP's beard trimmer!
