  1. I would like something simple and easy to use... Thank you
  2. Pickle i did the same as you and it never worked. Only sweeps did...Good luck.
  3. sorry but which Gardens at 9.45? btw i am going to the cinema on thu now at peck plex for The lady 11.30.
  4. ah, ok. Thank you all. I just thought with a baby at home and not being able to leave the house at night, it might have been a good idea!
  5. A few people have now recommended this. What do you think? Worth it or now? I have a treadmill at home which I normally use 2/3 times a week (well, not now after 3 weeks of my second baby). I also go swimming 2/3 times a week and do yoga almost every day. Is it fun or I shouldn't bother? Thanks
  6. Anyone up for the cinema with baby on Fri at the Ritzy or Thur at the Peck Plex?
  7. Elli glad to know that you are home safe with the little one and that he is doing so well. I am happy to meet starting from next week (16th) as my parents are here this week and I am making the most of it! It is overwhelming and I remember thinking that my life was ALWAYS going to be like this (so full on with such a time consuming mothering job!) but now I know that each difficulty is just a phase and things get better (although sometime they get worst before they get better) and that everything is constantly changing. So you won't feel overwhelmed (not in the same way) forever. And one day you will have forgotten why it was impossible to have a shower with a newborn! Big hug. Bee
  8. Hello everyone I just wanted to ask how everyone and in particular the new moms are doing. I remember the first 3 months being horrid for me with my first with sleepless nights, pussing/bleeding nipples, exhaustion, lack of confidence, and feeling generally like I had just crawled out of a car that had been run over by a train and then reversed on me again! I also remember feeling reluctant to admit it as I felt it was just me not coping well at all... but if you are struggling, you are not alone. And sharing my experience with other first timers was what kept me sane and alive. I am finding looking after my second easier but the combination of attending to her needs and the needs of my older boy just so so so much more difficult. Also, she has terrible crying (colic?) at night which means I am up for most of it and therefore zombie like in the day. Anyway, I hope you are all coping brilliantly, but if you are struggling with anything, please share it as it will feel so much better for you! Lots of love. Bee
  9. well done Anna! Let's be honest: you planned it this way all along so you didn't have to go to work but still looked keen for going in today! ;-) X
  10. Thank you everyone. I also wish you all safe, quick and wonderful births wherever you are going to be. Of course, the lucky birthpool with lots of extras is now for sale as I am not having any more kids! ?80 ONO, see link in classifieds.
  11. I am finally happy to share the news that baby Jaya was born on 21st December at home in the pool. She arrived after a two hour intense labour which was both atrociously painful and wonderful at the same time. We feel very blessed and are enjoying getting to know her. Wishing you all equally happy deliveries for Christmas! Lots of love. Bee
  12. just back from an afternoon in hospital because my blood pressure suddenly shoot up. They sent me back home waiting for blood and urine results tomorrow and Fri. This is becoming very different from my first birth experience! Baby is late (my son was 6 days early) and I feel terrible (I was 100% fine). I hope and keep my fingers crossed, they will let me stay at home for delivery. I am going to put my feet up for the next couple of days so won't venture out... Have fun.
  13. thank you all for the advice. As much as i understand you are all trying to help, I find myself dreading the new arrival more and more... which is tragic as I am feeling the first twinges as we speak! On top of this I am finding myself very emotional about how my relationship with my son is going to change - the loss of that special one-to-one bond we have built and cherished since he was born. It won't be mum and M anymore, but mum and M and ?... Sad?
  14. Congratulations Alix. I have the pool set up... deja vu... and ready to go. Come on baby bee! X
  15. Oh CONGRATULATIONS! Well done you. I can't wait to meet her. Lots of love. Rest and enjoy. X
  16. Ruth it sounds like you are doing so well, considering all the challenges of such a small age gap! I am sure it will all be worth it in the end when already in a year's time you will see them playing together while you sit down and read a magazine... (could that really be?) The age gap is going to be exactly 3 years, so I guess the challenges will be slightly different. But my concerns are similar: regression, jelousy, sleeping esp as I still sleep with my son in the same room and I cuddle him to sleep for his nap for about half an hour, not bonding with new baby or feeling less love for the now huge toddler, being unable to cope with attending to the needs of two kids, staying sane, sleeping, eating, breathing, ... surviving in short. Belle, yes, getting out of the house was and still is a very big priority for me from the word go, for the same reasons you meniton.
  17. since Ruth B pointed me in the direction of this post she started in March I wonder if since then anyone has got any more thoughts on how to cope with the new baby and the older child? Snowboarder, I totally agree. Although I am most def fed up of being pregnant I am also most def dreading a new baby!
  18. just to say that I really enjoyed the Hypnobirthing workshop and would recommend it highly. I had the best night in a very very long time - 9 hours straight! Unheard of. I was woken up by my son calling me from his bed across the room, not sure how long he'd been awake. Iona I hope it helps you next week! B
  19. Hello all, can't do 3rd, I am taking toddler to see Snowman at Saddlers Wells. Then prepare for bday party next day. Can't do Thu because I am working. How boring! Look forward to meeting hypnobirthing gilrs tonight though. B
  20. I seem unable to listen the pieces on the site... I am clicking but nothing. Is there a special way?
  21. Could you recommend a book for myself about how to introduce a new baby to my almost three year old? And possibly how to cope with the aftermath - i.e. having two kids?! Thank you
  22. MissMack: welcome to the home birthing group! I hope you won't regret it. I am getting the pool down from the loft on Mon to test it out. And then might leave it in the sitting room for the waiting game. I could meet on Wed but with toddler in tow... is that the plan? Where? We have swim class at 11, so could do a quick coffee/park before. Also, I just spoke to Kirstin and she could do Tue at 8 pm. Could I have a final head count. So far: millymoo, LillyD, Gimme, susanjvr and myself. Can I confirm this? Is anyone else interested? If you email me via pm I can send you my address. Speak soon.
  23. LillyD, no i think it's just us pregnant ladies... Could I have a headcount for next Tue or Fri so I can contact Kirstin and ask if she can do it then? Thank you
  24. Ok, I got some info from Kirstin and the cheapest option would be this if we have an evening at my place and yes, it would be just a one off a day that suits us and her. Practical evening: 2.5hrs practical work - ?45 pp, best taken together with online instant download HypnoBirth course (?38.90) Otherwise, she has dates we could join: Practical Workshop ? 4hrs daytime, ?89 pp or ?129 per couple/2 friends ? can also be arranged over 3hrs in an evening, same cost Next dates: Thurs am 1st Dec, Tues pm 6th Dec, Thurs am 15th Dec, Tues 10th Jan, Thurs 19th Jan Any thoughts? I could do next Tue, Thu or Fri... Anyone else? B
  25. Cool, so there are three confirmed... millymoo, you up for next week? Anyone else? I can now ask about prices and get back to you asap.
