I had weeny babies and they were hell to get out!

Typically we are probably away the weekend of ovulation, good in a way but means I may not have full access to the boards for any help, but its at butlins so lots of country walks etc. Especially as a full moon is due that weekend!

I read on this site they also eat licorice/twizzlers

All 3 of my births were unmedicated no gas and air nothing lol x ds1 only because I got to the hospital and was pushing him out then I had done it once I can do it again attitude - i am lucky with pretty quick births though - ds3 a homebirth I knew i was in labour most of the day but established labour was only under 2hours! I kept thinking i had loads of time as my waters hadnt broken WRONG he was born in his waters!!

There is on this site. I learned a lot looking, theres also nub shots that show you confirmed boy or girl. And I've been looking for fun...I'm by no means an expert but that looks like a girl! Also based on the forehead!

Deaks ~ pleased you had a lovely time with your friend :)

I have always wanted a home birth Charlie so very envious!

I keep thinking that will happen to me this cycle, although used a condom at the end I do think about the pre-ejaculation theory lol

---

Whats the pre-ejaculation theory? Very curious because my loss (sadly) was a girl, and I was not swaying, I actually was not even TTC and I def got preggo from Preejaculation. I was also losing weight, and DH was releasing daily!

charliespy ~ ds2 would have been born in his waters, but because he was premature they had to break them to make sure there was no meconium or something like that so the midwife broke my waters just before my last push.. shame since it's considered luck

I think if I worry about this pg then it will be ok and I will get to term, but if I think it alls going to be ok then I will get I'll. Seems weird to be high risk while I am totally healthy. Either way I want a six pound baby - or more than gas and air this time! Done the hippy birth thing twice - bring on the pain killers this time!

Ha ha, that sounds like me! tried the water birth thing at a birth centre and it was painful!!! next time it will definitely be the hospital and painkillers lol!

ILP- yay! so so nice to see you one here, so glad you found us! :HH: :HH:

Kell- huge congrats on the BFP! wonderful news, hoping you have a H&H pregnancy!
