Saw the consultant today, 36 weeks & 5days, Baby Bean is estimated as weighing 8lbs 7ozs today. The consultant was really reassuring to daughter, and I quote ' Your hips don't look too small, but with a large baby there is always the chance that the shoulders will be too big. There are positions we can get you into, should the shoulders get stuck, legs right up and back, well your Mum will tell you all about those'. I could see that daughter was on the verge of tears, so just checked with Doc what she wanted us to do if daughter goes into labour, she is quite happy for us to stay at home for as long as possible, not for birth though (does she think I'm mad?), but if there are any complications she will come in and deliver Baby Bean. We got outside and the floodgates opened, daughter is soo uncomfortable now, what with Bouncing Baby Bean and double the amount of fluid, methinks I shall have to try some witchy powers to start things off. Next Wednesday would be good. Just off now to her house to paint the sitting-room, her new carpet goes down tomorrow.
P.S I think I saw what variety of baby is coming!!! And, you could see it's hair on the scan.

(14.4.05 21:40) Minks - I told her and her partner they should have a nice 'romantic' day on Sunday, nudge, nudge. Partner declined as he 'feels a bit strange about it'. How pathetic is that? |

(15.4.05 11:44) Minks - I think SIL is frightened that he will drown if her waters go whilst he is doing this vital work. |

(15.4.05 17:49) witchy powers, got for it ( traditional wise women of the village style scares the men folk.). Yuppie style: to put a rusk at the end of the bed to The think it may enduice baby to come out. I found 2lbs of rhubarb stewed rather good, couldn't work out wether it was wind or baby though, and the labour was only 2 hours. she shot out in a wave of amniotic fluid as i wouldn't let them break the waters,(very easy NO pain)Wish her all the best, |
