Leo's Mummy <3

Just to let you all know I had my beautiful baby boy, Leo, at 9:40am on Tuesday April 28 weighing 7lb 13oz and measuring 55cm.

Labour lasted 15 hours and 35 minutes (but the gas & air made it feel so much shorter) and I was lucky enough to not need any assistance :)

For those of you that have been reading my questions, I had a show this morning YAY! And I've been having some sort of contractions :D

(Either BH or actual contractions, I'm not sure yet)

They are about 3-5 minutes apart and about 20 seconds long so hopefully I'll have gone in by tomorrow morning :)

I'll let you all know :)

I know I was only due yesterday but I've gone over and no signs of going anytime soon, getting me down a bit. Anyone else gone over?

Ok so I'm 38 weeks and 1 day with my first and lately i have been able to feel him kick 'down there' and it's quite painful, I was just wondering if anyone else has had this? If so was it the start of something or just because the baby was low?

Thanks in advance for all answers

Put ice cubes in her bed.

Why can't a man living in Australia be buried in America?

I was just wondering if everyone gets braxton hicks because I'm 38 weeks with #1 (so obviously no past experience on this) and I haven't had any BH at all but most of the questions I have read on here concerning going in to labour and BH, etc. the people asking are a few weeks earlier in their pregnancy than I am. I have been feeling quite heavy 'down there' and been having a few pains around my right side and back but no tightening around my belly like I'm supposed to.

Thank you in advance for your answers, I really need to know.

I have been having quite bad back pain the whole of today and chest pains (between my boobs and my bump) and was just wondering if anyone else has had this?

Was it a bad thing or was it just tight muscles or something like that?

Thank you x

Does anyone know where I can get any nursing bras that don't cost like 30 odd quid? I live in Wales if that helps.

I'm using an online birth plan to make my own and it is using the term 'room in' (for example: ' I would like to have the baby "room in" and be with me at all times.') and I have NO idea what it means. Help please, anyone know what it means? Thanks in advance for all answers.

On Friends that Joey and Rachel are better suited than Ross and Rachel?

Because I do.

Me and my partner found out what our baby is wednesday.

It's a boy and we can't find any names that we like, Any suggestions?

P.s. I asked a question about what people thought I was having but I didn't get online on time to give best answer sorry guys :(

I put a vote in for the person I chose for best answer though, hope they win.
