Knocked Up Rollcall

any kid born on halloween is gonna be a wildcat when they grow up, btw

trust me, the kid is already a wildcat now. :-)

SS, oh crappers, that's horrid. :-( hope it gets easier.

Ah, I had sinusitis for about a month in this pregnancy too. Got antibiotics in the end, which sorted it in a couple of days.

woah just found out my brother's wife is pregnant with a boy due 2.5 months after Henry. weeee.

Just noticed this thread - wife's due on Friday with our first. Exciting!

Friday??? WOAH! Congrats. Is it your first?

Oh you said it's your first. Duh!

hahaha Nate, see how absentminded we get once we pop out a kid. :-)

Congrats btw!

Thanks SS & Stevie - still no sign!

How about now?

Still nothing!

!!!!!

is there a plan to induce?

Well Sam worked her due date out as that Friday (24th), the hospital worked her due date out as Wednesday 29th. So by her reckoning she's 10 days over, by the hospital's she's 5 days over. She's got a midwife's appointment on Wednesday and I guess they'll decide then whether or not to induce.

Both mine were 10 days over so I feel your wife's pain! We tried all the usual: curry/pineapple/raspberry leaf tea/walking/sex/nipple stimulation. In the end it was a sweep that really got things moving.

a little less than 3 months to go here. kid better not be overdue. this pregnancy has been so consistently painful and uncomfortable that i feel like im dying some kind of slow death. /whining

We tried all the usual: curry/pineapple/raspberry leaf tea/walking/sex/nipple stimulation.

Haha...I *did not know* about nipple stimulation!

We think curry did it for us.

Damn sex was what got us into the situation in the first place. Not doing that again.

Ever.

Walking kicked it all off for me I think - late night (i.e. leaving at 11.30pm) trip to IKEA wandering round the whole thing, contractions started 4 hours later.

my mom dragged me around a mall for FIVE HOURS and it did nothing!

Still nothing. Sam's getting fed up now. Getting induced tomorrow.

wow. best of luck!

Right about now I guess! Fingers crossed for you.

excitement!

Our first one was induced, but the induction didn't take until almost 36 hours later, so we had a "wonderful" three days in the hospital waiting, walking, waiting, arguing about walking and waiting,.... We had to stay because they broke her water manually, and so she was "technically" in labor I guess despite having basically no contractions for about 20 hours after being admitted. At that point she was nearly 2 weeks overdue, so things got tense re. c-section (doctors sorta wanted to do it, we strongly didn't). #2 was induced too but was easier; #3 just popped out as I guess #3s are wont to do.

wheres that babby

i had a dream last night that i started getting contractions so my mom took me to the hospital where all of my extended family were hanging out and getting high with their friends. the contractions went away and everyone got mad at me for making them go to the hospital under false pretenses. as payback, on the drive home my mom dropped me off in some dark alley in a strange city where i had no idea where i was or how to get back to the hospital. THANKS, MOM.

Little baby Woolls was born earlier today (12th August) at 11.40am!

yay! congrats!!!

Thank you! Now the real hard work begins I guess.

hooray! well done!

Congratulations!

Wow! Congratulations!!

About time! Good news! Congrats!

Congratulations woolls family!

Congratulations! What's the little one's name?

His name, after much deliberation, is Seth.

that's cute!

That's a lovely name!

Congrats to all the woollses!

saw the babby on a 27 y/o portable ultrasound today. hes in position and ready to go.
