@ Bahamas Babe,
I HAVE NO STRETCH MARKS!! I hate you!!! Wish I could say the same, although I don't envy you your 23 hour labour.  to you and your family.
@ Chloe,
I hear you about the mood swings. My husband says that every time he talks to me he gets whiplash from ducking the various objects I throw at his head. On Sunday I threw the kettle, which cost £60 and which I'm really pissed off about because he shouldn't have ducked!!! I think he's keeping out of my way for the next 5 months.....

Even tho I don't plan to have one until i'm like..25, I can't help worryin about tha pain I'ma have 2 go through! My mum had ma brother (he's 1 now) an she said it took 3 hours. She said once she had the baby she wanted 2 go home..like actually, make her own way home as soon as he popped out. She said she felt fine an it wasn't that painful......now....that just don't sound rite. Pregnancy not painful?!? I know I shouldn't be worryin about it, but I can't help it! lol An congratulations 2 LadyVee an Lady Day - gud luck wiv ur labour! Last edited on Thursday July 14th, 2005 08:12 by Ladi_Swifty

| i have had 4 kids. i have 3 under 5s at home so its kinda sticky at home. The eldest is 9 and pregnancy and birth was as straighforward as it could of been. When end of of preganacy was coming everybody started filling my head with how much it hurt and how bad u feel after etc i mean i was only 17 at the time so i was all stressed but when the time came it was over quickly and the after bit wasnt as bad as i had imagined to be truthful the hardest part was actully now making the transistion from care free girl into a teenage mother of a boy child with a dick head of a babyfather hanging round my neck. Gone were the days of wash and go now it was making bottles changing nappies smelling constantly of baby sick and thrust into this world of loneliness most of my friends didnt have kids so it was all aah hes so cute ur so lucky one minute and no contact from them for ages after. the few friends i did manage to hold onto slowly disappeared due to dickhead babyfather. But i did enjoy being with my son and love him deeply he is my 1 and only son but im not ashamed to admit that i found the whole parenting thing a bit too much and once we moved into a place of our own it was even worse i became more isolated than i already was i only had my baby boy and his dad for company sometimes for days i wouldnt see anybody i had no friends left so in that respect it was hard. 4 yers later i had my first daughter birth was disgusting i was induced and it hurt like crazy i even kicked away the midwife at one point but the next day aftr having her i went home and went shopping walking around like i gave birth weeks ago not yesterday. he was a fairly good baby and her dad provided well for us so it wasquite different than when had my son i was more prepared emotionally and physically we split up 16 months later by then i was expecting our second child together my 3 rd itt was quite emotional time i was planning to terminate pregnancy but it was too late her birth and labour was quick and easy from start to finish but was a miserable baby constantly screaming i ended up with postnatal depression which is hard because it delays your bondng with your baby but got over it and she is a loving little girl always telling me she loves me. Then i got married and had the obligationary child yet another girl good birth easy labour excellent baby contented happy always smiling not too whinny. It is hard being at home all day with 3 under 5s it s just that whole constant demanding of my time i cant stretch myself in three different places at the same time as well as cook dinner clean house if i clean house once i clean it 100 times for the day and when i wake up a morning the place looks like its been burgled. But im glad for my kids and wouldnt be without them but honestly speaking there are times where i feel completley overwhelmed by them all. Thankfully there are a lot of support and agencies like surestart and gingerbread which provide playgroups one o clock clubs outings and its nice to be able to socialise with other parents and know that your not alone there are others who are going through what you are and it makes a real difference.

She was a fairly good baby and her dad provided well for us so it was quite diferent than when I had my son, I was more prepared emotionally and physically.
We split up 16months later by then I was expecting our second child together, my 3rd. It was quite an emotional time I was planning to termnate pregnancy but it was too late. Her birth and labour was quick and easy from start to finish but was amiserable baby constatly screaming I ended up with postnatal depression which is hard becasue it delays your bonding with your baby.
But I got over it and she is a loving little girl, always telling me she loves me. Then I got married and had the obligatory child, yet another girl. Good birth easy labour, excellent baby, contented, happy always smiling, not to whinny.

** Long tings alert from now LOL**
I know I had morning sickness during the first three months and it wasn’t in the morning it was when it felt like it. I puked but not all the time although I still had the lingering feeling like I wanted to be sick. That didn’t last much past 16 weeks after which time I started to get some energy back. I started to show properly at about 5 months although when you know you are having a baby you still see more of the bump than anyone else can recognise.
I didn’t have any unusual cravings first time round, I just wanted for things that I hadn’t maybe had for a while like twiglets, cheesecake and I was on the ice lollies a lot at some mad hours. I had heard of some strange cravings to things like tar and toilet paper from other ladies though. My strange craves came during my second and now this pregnancy for anything that I can grind my teeth with. I was contemplating soap powder (my sister had the same) but feared being poisoned and ended up getting a pomice stone. Does the trick.
I had heard lots of myths and stories but there were too many variations so I just took them on board and waited to see what would happen in mine…until a few days before the expected day. They say if you want help to bring on labour eat a curry, have sex or have a hot bath….well the Sunday morning I was having my usual bath and started to notice this “show� that I kept reading about. I kept hearing the description of a mucus plug but it just looked like jelly to me! From the time I saw it told hubby and we started to get excited phoned the hospital asking for confirmation that it’s time. Hubby’s gone to get the suitcase which was packed months before….next thing I know on my way from the bathroom to the bedroom I started to double up with some dread pains till I couldn’t move. They were like heavy period pains and ladies if you have heavy pains already imagine that time three at least. I had to lie down and wait for them to stop but that was scary.
When they went away I managed to get dressed and get down the stairs only to get LICK by the same pains again….had to lie down again. It took long to get to the car you see…what did they say about the hot baths?!!
Anyway….rush to the hospital still full of excitement…pain.. excitement…pain….excitement got all ready on the delivery bed only for the midwife to tell me “you’re 1cm dilated� WHAT is that it ?? “and you dilate 1 cm an hour so as nothings happening you can go home and see how you go� Ahh man after all that! I decided to stay at the hospital though because I didn’t want the panic and for some reason felt safer if I was with people who knew what they were doing.
After a while it was getting kinda irritating though just contracting, breathing, having more baths, showing, contracting, breathing, having more baths, showing… That’s all that was happening for the whole day. The simple little mucus plug just keep coming out each time I bathed but no waters broken and I was beginning to wonder what was happening because the books said you have the show, your waters break and then you have the baby. Is it really?? I couldn’t sleep because of the blasted contractions and they had me wired up to the tracking machine which was just getting in the way. I had the Pethidine to help me sleep and think it did for a while but when I woke up the same things were happening chaa no progress. I think they gathered how long it was becoming so took me back to the delivery room to break my waters for me. It wasn’t until the midwife said to me “you’re not leaving here until your baby’s born� that reality started to kick in again. Booooy I’m actually going to deliver this baby now. I heard what they said about dilation etc but still thought how is this baby really coming out. My belly was biiiiigg it just didn’t add up but hey it was time. She also told me though that nothing was happening because baby was facing slightly off target so to speak. She said this is common with African Caribbean and Asian women but when white women get this, the baby doesn’t usually survive!
When they broke the waters the pains were much stronger and intense. The pains I had before were nothing. DAMN. I found it easiest to just move wherever the pain took me. Poor hubby was just there going with wherever I chose to fling meslef LOL. He was good though because he just made sure he stayed with me wherever I moved. No one position was the same. When I couldn’t take the pain much more because of how long it was taking I got the gas and air tried my best to stay away from the epidural not keen on the spine interference. The gas made me feel reaallly high and at points I just felt like I had no more energy to push. Bout push if I pushed any more my organs woulda come out. At one point I remember hearing another woman screaming form one of the other delivery rooms and wondered where she found the strength for that. There’s me puffing and panting away there wasn’t any air left for screaming!
Anyway, pure pushing and pushing later a few hours into the Tuesday morning the child decide to arrive. The cord was in the way apparently but the nurse did good to just lift it round and stop it getting stuck. If it wasn’t for hubby telling me the head was starting to appear I don’t know how much longer I could have pushed for. My arms were shaking and too weak for me to hold her at first but it was one of those moments where I was so happy I wanted to cry but couldn’t.
The experience mashed up my pelvis though and I couldn’t walk properly for a good few months after. It felt (what I imagined) like a wish bone at the point just before it snaps!!! The breastfeeding was hard to begin with and made my nipples red sore for the first few days. I didn’t bleed but had no choice but to keep putting baby back on because I thought it was too soon for bottle milk. I bawled a lot during it though because she was feeding constantly. Kamilisan and cabbage leaves were really good for easing the pain.
During the second pregnancy I had morning sickness and gastroentitis at the same time. I got back the pelvic pains as early as 4 months, my hips kept feeling like they were dislocating till I would have to wait for it to relax before I could move. Sometimes I was on the floor just stuck in position and hubby would have to lift me up. They gave me a bulky sports injury belt to help ease the weight but there wasn’t that much weight. I had a lot more energy with him for most of it.
The delivery was a breeze in comparison to my daughter. My waters broke naturally (felt like it literally popped ) and I didn’t even get a show. Not as much water came out as I had expected but I knew from before that once they broke the pain was heavy. I did get a lot of lower back pain when I was having the contractions this time. I’d mastered the breathing thing so just went through that and had hubby’s hand to break some more of his fingers LOL when required and about 7 – 8 hours later my son came. Not half as much drama. The only thing this time was that the nurse told me I was about 6cm dilated and it would be a few hours before he was coming but body was saying different…it was more like 10 or 15 minutes!
This time my energy is really low, I’ve had the same pelvic and hip problems, only this time it's both hips. They’ve finally explained that it’s due to a hormone called relaxin. It gets released when your body is getting ready for the baby. It makes your legs just under your butt ache and the ligaments in your tummy stretch and hurt if you move too fast. My back aches a lot more all over this time as though I've been bending backwards for the past 7 months. Just last night I could hardly move.
I've been more stressed, exhausted, waddling as far as I can before I get out of breath and stuffing my face more often but finding it really hard keeping up with the other two children, the house and working practically full time. It aint easy and is hard when people expect it to be a breeze because I've been through it before and have someone to help. Like he doesn't get tired too. I'm alot more emotional too which is a bit of a downer at times a but to be honest i just have to go with it. I feel like an ancient hippo....hope I haven't bored you but like I said, i haven't really spoken to this extent while I went through it. Makes me appreciate how good it is to talk.

@COLTRANE: I went to ante natals the first time round and it was useful to be able to ask questions. I did find that the answers I was getting from them, books and other sources to be conflicting at times . Some of the health professionals seem to know more than others which was a surprise. Thought they would have studied more or less the same things . When you don't know any better you have no choice but to trust them though.
@jazztalking: Sorry to hear that man. I'm glad your ex survived it. Must have been a tough time for you both. With each pregnancy, I'm always grateful that I've made it as far as I have. PM if you wanna talk I know what it can be like.
@LadyVee: Thanks for the congrats sis. What's it like having them so far apart? My blood is ok but my iron is low. I hear you on the epidural. One slight move and it could be really bad. I know it's been done many times before but still it looks too risky.Are the people on transport getting up for you? Some of them can be cold and play like they can't see you. Tut Tut. You really let rip with the mood swings LOL. I'm scared of what my moods could make me do. The heat's been bearable so far...it just takes even longer to get from A to B these days .
@LadyDay: I still get amazement trying to know what part is what. I can only make out the hands and feet but couldn't say what is what. LOL about the boobs. I didn't have much there to begin with but further south than south was me after the breastfeeding. I haven't heard about problems with the underwire bras. Need to check that out. I get heartburn sometimes but more when I eat oily food. What's anti D? As for the wind...never mind bombings. Certain explosions been happening for me that would probably make the terrorists ruuuunn LMAO.
@Panther1977: Same here about the food only I hope to keep the weight because the only thing that's got bigger on my body are my boobs and nose apparently. Any one else been told that about their nose? My husband says all pregnant women he knows get a fat nose. Is he being facety?? 
@Tru-Afri-Can: I have felt more horny at times. Not that I've always been able to do much about it though. Other times I'm like "stay away from me. You nah get a ting til me reach menopause to reeneet. This childbearing's hard work ".
Can't say I've had much say in the stone cravings hhm I wonder what chalk is like...
@Kunjufu: WOW you remember quite a bit for such a long time ago. What brain food you been eating??
@eskay: LOL reading your story. I fear the C section. Did it take long to heal? And where was your child going at 9pounds though!! Glad he's still bringing you happiness and I have to agree about the boy children. Can be so loving yet still so hard of hearing too!
@Abissinia: It is probably the only pain that you go through but don't don't regret once the happiness kicks in. You can probably gather that not all are the same though. My friend was in and out after 5 hours with her first. She had hers a few months before me and I was hoping to get the same quick ting. Yeah right!
@Bahamas Babe: Good to see that you were still able to conceive after the first preganancy. There's times when you think it'll never be possible, right. I got stretch marks but like them though. A nice reminder of how I got them.
@caramel1: Good on you girl. Have to take my hat off to you with 4. Mine will all be under 5 too. I'm glad you've found the Sure Start and parent groups to be helpful. I've wondered if they are any good but most of the times they are available, I'm at work. I hear you about the staying at home routine. I didn't think I would get bored but it was actually nice to go back to work to break the cycle. You never think it will be lonely until you get there. I'm proud you're doing alright .

Hi Natalie, thats awful, have they decided to do any tests coz my friend has had 2 miscarriages and the hospital said to her that after the third they will do tests. Personally i thinks its disgusting that a woman has to go through this so many times in order for the problem to be found. Also my mum had 2 miscarriages before she had me and my 5 BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes 5, they still wernt sure what caused this and just put it down to it not being the rite time.
If you dont mind me asking...how far along were you? Coz my friend was 17 - 19 weeks and my mum was less than 12 weeks.
It must be really hard for you, i myself had a ectopic pregnancy and i was convinced i'd never have my baby but then i did, and it was a beautiful surprise. So maybe it will happen soon for you. Are you conciously trying?? PM me if you feel that this is to much to say here. XX

I had test/operation after the 3rd misscarriage, and they cut away sum adhesion's and said everything was okay, 4 months later I got pregnant, which happened to be an ectopic pregnancy (another operation), I cant face another operation with them poking around!! Very dubious about getting pregnant in the future, and facing a miscarriage or ectopic again!!
Also my mum had 2 miscarriages before she had me and my 5 BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes 5, they still wernt sure what caused this and just put it down to it not being the rite time.
If you dont mind me asking...how far along were you? Coz my friend was 17 - 19 weeks and my mum was less than 12 weeks.
The miscarriages were at 12, 9, and then 10 weeks, the ectopic was at 8 weeks.
It must be really hard for you, i myself had a ectopic pregnancy and i was convinced i'd never have my baby but then i did, and it was a beautiful surprise. So maybe it will happen soon for you. Are you conciously trying?? PM me if you feel that this is to much to say here. XX
Congratulations!! I am not with a partner at the moment to start trying! Many thanks for your reply!!!

| Well Natalie I hope all goes well for you in the future and that when you meet the right person everything else goes hand in hand and things work out. With all that has happened dont assume that it will never happen, coz many people who have miscarriages go on to have perfectly healthy pregnancies! I know it doesnt solve your problem but i hope it gives you a little inspiration that somewhere down the line it will happen. At least yoy did the rite thing and had the tests. Good luck for the future. If you dont mind how old are you?

| I am 21yrs old!!! Young, I know. Got different prospects happening in my life now, but honestly I would give everything up - holidays, going out, university etc to have those babies, but I guess everything happens for a reason, and I will get pregnant one day in the future - Thanks BB Last edited on Saturday July 23rd, 2005 19:47 by Natalie1

| @Natalie1 i wasnt askin your age to say that you were too young...i am only just 24 myself, it was more a thing of "you are young and probably healthy so you have a good chance of things going smooth" anyway good luck.

I'm hearing different things about the anti-d.
When I had my daughter I could understand why they gave me the injection after I had her.
I didn't expect to have one after I had my son, but they gave me one anyway.
Now, I've read that I should be given the anti-d at 28 weeks, but my midwife told me that I'd have it after I've had the baby.....
Totally confused now.
Ladies, when did you start buying baby stuff? I hit the Next sale today (really couldn't face it yesterday!). They had some really cute stuff, but there was nothing in a neutral colour. I did buy a beautiful blanket, though. Hubby was saying we should wait until after the baby was born - until I asked him if he was going to run to the shops to buy them!!!
Looked at some prams in Mothercare. I saw the one I wanted. Mothercare have a kind of layaway thing going on. You pay 10% on the item(s) as a deposit, then it gets delivered free of charge whenever you want it (as long as you've paid in full, of course!). Even if the pram I want goes on sale, I'll still get it at sale price. Pram's expensive, though.
@ Maat,
My daughter is great looking after her brother, although she does get fed up when mistake her for the mother! I'm not sure how my son will be.
I was 21 when I had my daughter, 33 when I had my son. I must say I'm feeling it now at the grand old age of 39! I find I need to sit down more, and I can't stray too far from a toilet! that said, it feels nice when I feel "her" moving around inside me, and I can't wait to meet "her".
