Dear Bailey & DH,
Also thinking of you and Asha today. Your angel is looking down and sending lots of love to.:hug:
May you feel the tender breeze of your angels wings on your lips sometime today, and know they are safe and well. Thinking of you all today .
All my love Nat xxxx
Mel - It's not corny, its beautiful. I hope you are doing ok today. I have been fine. I think that the lead up to the 6 month was hard, but now it just feels like any other day, not really any happier or sadder than yesterday was or tomorrow will be. I think maybe the year will be hard though. Well, rest up tonight, you have a busy day and noght tomorrow.
:bd: + :sperm: + :fertilise: + :doctor: + :crossfingers: = :bfp:
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and wishes today. It really helps.
LOL @ your piccies :cryinglaugh:
I agree - some months are tough admittedly, but in a way today felt like any other day. I thought about him alot more than usual but I havent been really down like I have usually. Glad you were ok today :)
Then again, maybe I have lost it, I just posted a thread in the Labour and Borth section to see if anyone out there has had VBAC after 2 caesareans. Lol, not sure if I am woman ebough, but I wouldn't mind looking into it anyway.....crazy...who me?
That's not crazy at all - I can totally understand thinking about natural birth. Although I delivered Nicholas "naturally" I would love to experience a natural birth with a healthy baby passed into my arms at the end. I am just too terrified to even contemplate it, and my OB for a couple of reasons has recommended s caesar next time. Although I did read a referral letter from an OB to the surgeon I am working for at the moment and it said that the patient had previously had a caesarian and they were now trialling a vaginal delivery. Admittedly she only had one though. Anyway, now I am babbling - basically I just wanted to say I dont think you are crazy :D
Thanks Mel, I think because I have only just had a c-section, they will really try to talk me out of it because of the spacing between the 2, but I thought I would just look into it. I am sure I will be way too scared to do it anyway. With Asha, they were trying to make me go for VBAC, but there was no way I could have done it, I kept saying to my mum while they were waiting for me to decide(DH was away) what if during the labour I forget she has died? That was all I could think about, I just didn't want to forget that she had died and expect for her to come out screaming. And, like we have discussed before, I just wanted it all over and done with, I could not have done it. It really does depend on size of baby for me too though, DS was 5.5kg - yes, you read that right,
12lb 2oz and Asha was already 2.8 kg at only 33 weeks. Lol, I have massive kids, which is strange, neither DH or me are large.
Wow you do rare them big - Nicholas was 2.5kgs at 36w1d. Admittedly he his growth had slowed in the last couple of weeks because of the clot but still I cant believe Asha was 2.8kgs! And dont get me wrong, I didnt chose natural birth for Nicholas. I wanted a caesar but they made me have him vaginally. They wouldnt even entertain the idea of a caesar and I wasnt strong enough at that point to push for it.
I hope you get the answers you want, and no matter how you decide to give birth to Faith you are still a wonderful mother who is doing what is best for herself and her baby :hug:
Sweet little Asha and Darling little Nicholas. We all miss you, especially your Mummy's. and Daddy's. Take care my little angels and tonight, when your Mummy's are asleep, give them a tender kiss in the shape of wonderful dreams.
Big :hugs: Bailey and Mel
Hey girls, I know I sound like a broken record but I'll just do a quickie tonight, I am so darn tired.
Mel: I think you are making the right decision about Nicholas things. Hold onto them, pack them away if you decide to and cross that bridge later on.
Bailey: you go girl, VBAC 2, before you know it you will be home birthing and leaving the placenta attached ;) On a serious note though, you do what is best for you honey. It is weird how once you are pregnant, you start thinking and doing things (like exploring a VBAC) which previously you wouldn't have contemplated. I think Deb would be a really good person to give you some info about it just so that you can be informed about your choices.
Well a quick Hi to all you wonderful ladies, I am just shattered tonight, I can barely keep my eyes open so it is off to bed for me. OMG it is only just 8.00pm but I am about to crash. Mum and Dad were only here for a night so it is back to just little old me. Only 3 sleeps till DH is home so thank God.
Big love

Hi all,
Mel & Bailey - I was thinking of your precious babies yesterday :hugs: & of course you & your DH's aswell
Happy 8th month b'day to Harrison, thinking of you & your DH today Spring :hug:
Well as for me, i feel like crap, AF is due on friday, Storms due date is/was Friday, my sil had her baby and now all i hear about is the baby, plus my other sil keeps emailing me pictures of it so I can print them off to show the grandparents, I DON"T WANT TO SEE!!!!
I just feel like I am falling apart :crying:
Big hello to everyone else, hope you are all well!
Sorry girls, you didn't need to hear all that :redface:
Happy 8 month Birthday little Harrison. May you watch over your mummy and daddy today and help them through today.
Thinking of you today Spring :hug:
Happy 8 month Birthday Harrison. I hope you remember to take a break from playing with your little angel friends today to send a hello to your mummy, daddy and Lil Spring.
Oh Jo - yes we did need to hear that. If you have something that you want to get off your chest, then get it off. That is what we are here for :hug:
I can totally understand how you are feeling. Firstly, I really really hope tha AF doesn't arrive and that you get a bfp on Storm's due date. What is it with AF due on our angels important dates :(
I would call your SIL (or email her) and tell her that you feel that by her sending you the photos it is really insensitive and inappropriate at this time. You need to do what is right for you when the time is right for you. Don't pressure yourself into doing anything that you don't want to do. You need to look after your emotions and protect yourself anyway that you can. I can understand that you feel like you are falling apart but we are all here to make sure that you don't :hugs: It is such an emotional time for you. Take care, thinking of you :hug:
JLK - I am sorry you are feeling so down. I have fingers crossed that AF doesn't arrive, Especially on Storms due date. Thinking of you:hug:
Thanks girls :pray: that AF stays away.
As for SIL (not the mum, the other one) & the rest of DH's family they seem to be so wrapped up in this new granddaughter/neice that they seem to have forgotten that their other granddaughter/neice was due this week.
I suppose all i'm asking for is a little recognition for her, and a thought for me! Am I being selfish?
Don't get me wrong I am so happy for SIL, but right now I just can't deal with it!
Jo you are not being selfish at all. You just want your little girl to be acknowledged and she deserves that. As does you.
You have every right to not be able to deal with the new baby right now. Be kind to yourself and look after number one...........you. :hug:
