I'll have the 21st if nobody else has got it.
Good luck! (I wouldn't worry about the screaming, they were probably all stoned)

12th March please. I'd like to win this sweepstake. If there's no movement on 11th, I'll be sending huge quantities of curry your way...Originally posted by formant View Post
Now to wait for baby-formant to make an appearance over the next few weeks...

Good luck! It might sting a bit but be thankful it's only childbirth and not man flu.

Good Luck!Originally posted by formant View PostThanks guys! Got discharged last night. As of this afternoon I'm finally feeling a tad better (and billing again already
).

And, glad you weren't kept in for longer - playing the waiting game in the hospital is no fun. I was in for quite a few days before small child made an appearance, listening to the shreiks (sp?) and wailings of other birds drove me mental. One night, one woman kept calling for the midwives and telling them her waters had broken, eventually after trying to be nice to her about 5 times, an exasperated midwife said "No love, you've just pissed yourself.... AGAIN" -
Boy was I glad to get my own room.

Thanks. CTG was normal just now luckily, so baby is all fine again. I still feel crap though. :-/ they're keeping me in for another night.Originally posted by mudskipper View Post
Not nice, but to trot out the old cliche, you're in the right place. Hope all's well and you're home soon.
Edit: Just noticed you've got 666 posts - quick, post again before you give birth!!!

Originally posted by formant View PostWell, still no sign of baby-formant, but I've been in hospital since yesterday for fetal tachycardia. Picked up bronchitis last week and looks like my coughing fits are distressing the wee one quite a bit. She's better than last night already though. Actually having a decent NHS experience for once. Aside from the food. Oh and beds in the maternity ward are clearly built for 5'4" ladies (I'm 6ft).
Could have done without witnessing all the screaming on the labour ward last night though. Scared now...

Do you know something, having been a sad, geeky, teenage, role-playing boy, I am well aware of what Cthulhu is, but I never even considered that your cartoon avatar was something like that. I was going down the lines of it being a character from some weird European cartoon show.Originally posted by formant View Post
