And if our latest Brit in Michigan don't show their head soon, medically necessary arrives!

My wife had to have a c-section cause my daughter refused to come out. My wife was in labor and she's pushing and I could see Chloé's head nearly popping out but then she would dissapear, this was going on for over a hour in and out, up and down like a bloody yo-yo.
Anyways her heartbeat started to lower and it was all action stations, I'm get all dressed up in the hospital jim-jams 15 mins and one c-section later (I had a look at the tools used, and swear its like that last scence from Braveheart
) out she popped, the reason why Chloé wouldn't come out naturally was because the cord had wrapped itself around her neck 3 times so every time Mrs Yosser pushed we were strangeling the poor bugger!
Anyways, good luck Ash maybe you might have a proper christmas baby
I hope everything goes well for you!

I never did find out if this is true or an urban myth, but I've heard more than one nurse/midwife and new mum say that it's very common for women to be in Marks and Spencers when their waters break.
Apparently M&S sends a big basket of goodies to the new mum!
(Many women imminently about to have a baby have this 'nesting instinct' and suddenly become very busy, doing housework, shopping etc. I remember a friend of mine was hanging up some curtains and her waters broke....into a pair of boots she was wearing at the time!)

I am surprised no one mentioned a c-section. Worked a treat from my sister. she was having twins, the little bleeders came out sharpish and no mistake.

I got Todd home from work so many times to bring me to the hospital he said he wasn't coming home again unless I could see the baby's head!
Honest he did!

Bringing on Labour
Absolutely sex is the number one answer, its just finding somebody to have sex with you at 9 months pregnant thats the most difficult thing, even your husband partner is gonna find that one difficult. Apparently, according to the doula that I had its the sperm that triggers labour, so maybe you could use your imagination. Good luck.

So do you know what sex the baby is? We're having a girl. My wife had stronger contractions yesterday and we thought the time had come. Cue bags being flung in car. But sadly they went away, must've just been strong Braxton Hicks.

heres to all those sleepness nights.I wouldn't change it for the world though, I have an amazingly close relationship with my daughter we are so alike, so all those early hour feeds and burping are definetly appreciated by the little ones!
