    Well, I have an appointment at 4pm on Thursday, not sure if they'll actually induce me then or if it'll be later on. I'm guessing they'll try the gels first and then the drip/ARM if that doesn't work.

    Yeah that's what they're doing with me I think. I have to go in tomorrow between 2 and 4, I assume they're just checking me then, see what the problem is, and she wants to induce me Wednesday morning, so hopefully it all works straight away. Hope they'll induce u if nothing happens, these babies really made us wait, we need cuddles too desperately now :)

    Just bring ear plugs and an eye mask and you might be able to get some sleep! Bringing your laptop for movies sounds like a good idea :)

    Thanks Murdy :) Yeah I'll get some earplugs definitely, I've heard too many complaints about the noise, but I bet most of the noise will be me snoring, if I get to sleep haha

    I actually use a cochlear implant so I don't think I'll be worrying too much about the snoring. :D The eye mask is a good idea though. It's weird having a day planned to have a baby...oh yeah, it's coming on Friday, mark your calendars!

    Funny how the cochlear implant will end up coming in handy! I hardly slept in the hospital but did manage a few hours the second night because of ear plugs and eye mask thing. I was shocked at the snoring coming out of some of the women! Thank god I didn't have to stay any longer.

    Can't wait to see the final three June (now July!) babies :)

    Oh gosh, I don't wanna annoy everyone, I'm snoring and gassy as hell now (sorry girls) Is there anything I can do about it, apart from staying up all night? :/
    Ah I can't wait to show her off, so damn exciting. Himself is running around the house packing his bag! bless haha

    Aww good luck. You'll be absolutely fine, the midwives there are so good, you'll get amazing care. I'm good, just trying to get lots of rest at the minute. Don't have another appointment in Letterkenny until next week. Will be thinking of you and keep in touch if you need a distraction xxx

    The men are allowed stay for active labour and birth, otherwise they make the fella's follow visiting hours (2:30-4, 6-8) which was my only major problem, he missed out on bits and he himself was very upset too. It's a shame they don't teach the men too, as my man wants to do everything and now I have to teach him, I know he wanted to feel more involved.

    However nurses and doctors were very nice and I must say very helpful. I had no problems and as soon as you need them, they're there :)

    Thank you :) We are very good, she's doing so well. Slept loads yesterday and last night, so I caught up a little on the 3 nights sleep I lost in hospital. We were allowed go home yesterday morning, which was early, but because she's feeding so well already they saw no reason to keep us :) Delighted! I had a baby girl, named her Isabelle Rose Scott :) She's just perfect.

    Do u know what you're having? Not long left :) What date you due?

    Wouldn't it have been great if we'd been able to travel forward in time and see that list 2 months ago? It would have saved us all a lot of uncertainty if we'd known what day we would all give birth!

    I know, it's mad. Sometimes I look at my little man and can't believe we made him!

    I feel the same about Isabelle, she's just perfect <3 PHN came today. She was so nice and very professional, but her suggestions have left me a little upset that I don't know as much as I think I do. I felt like I was doing a good job and now I feel a little worried about everything...

    Isabelle seems happy with everything and doesn't cry much..

    I was told not to use the cot, to use a moses basket, but we simply can't afford it and no one around has one... and also to use ventilated blankets? I've never even heard of them... I feel like I've been doing everything wrong, but it felt right, now I'm all upset and confused.

    Also, does anyone else feel sort of off with their partner? I feel like he's ready to jump down my throat about everything and anything, and it's really upsetting me. I've cried twice during a feed cause of things he's said.. :(

    Aww congrats on your little girl. Don't worry I'm sure you're doing a fantastic job but it must be so overwhelming initially when there's so much to remember and learn and you just want to do your best for your little angel. Everyone has a different way of doing things, nothing is right or wrong and you just have to go with your own instincts. I'm sure you're very tired too which exasperates everything. Chin up I'm sure you're a great mother x
