Hi All

After a lot of persistent nagging my wonderful husband has won - I joined a forum. Not only am I new to Belly Belly, but I an new to using forums, so be patient with me.

I am a first time Mum and DD is 11th November. I've promised I'll give birth at 11am but I may not comply with the minute silence

I am planning on having a natural birth at the Mercy FBC in Heidelberg and I am working on my birth plan at the moment. What to put in, what to stand my ground on, it's so easy to make these decisions now but I suppose that is what the idea behind a birth plan - write it when I'm rational.

I look forward to getting to know my fellow Belly Buddies over the next few weeks. I have found a great replacement for me at work and I plan to take a step back so I can enjoy and look forward to my new life.

Cheers
Patricia
