Wrote and sent second e-mail

Well I just wrote the second email to everyone asking that only immediate family visit while I'm in hospital and that other family wait until we are home. And that non-family wait until the next week and that everyone phones and arranges visits first.
I hope they can understand...

I can't believe my due date is only 3 days away

WOW Renne, the clock is ticking! Have you lost your mucus plug? I guess that was a little personal wasn't it ...but I can't wait until your precious baby is born. Best of luck! Stephanie

Ha Renee... I just asked you if you were overdue in my PM.

Good on you for stating your rules too.

Since most of our rules relate to DH's side of the family, it's up to him to address them, particularly with the "DO NOT invite people to our house" and "We are not having a congregation over, or a big family gathering"

Hey I don't mind! No haven't lost the mucus plug. I didn't lose it last time until I was induced and my waters broke... I lost it at the same time. So it will be a new experience if I actually go into labour on my own this time...

Well I hope he gets the message to them! I don't know how well Paul will do with this... I've written a list of names of people to phone and let know when Sophie arrives and at the bottom I've asked that he doesn't tell the whole world LOL and that anyone that isn't family is to wait until the second week to visit. I will explain it to him tonight. Wish me luck! LOL

So excited for you Renee! Definetly keep us posted on how things are going.

Will do I bought red raspberry leaf tea and black licorice last night. Starting tonight I'm going to shove myself full of the stuff and hopefully it will speed things up

Anyone actually used castor oil before? I've been told that it's dangerous to use it as it can make baby pass meconium into the amniotic fluid and then inhale/swallow it. But I do know a couple of women who have tried it and it never hurt and it did work.

Any day now, huh? God bless you and your family, you will be in my prayers.

Thanks!

Hey I don't know where it's come from I never used to be like this. I would just shut my mouth and smile and then stew over it later... KWIM? Or put up with things until I snapped. So this is all new for me LOL I think it's because I know what it's like now and I really want breastfeeding to work and I know that stress isn't good for that... so I am trying to limit the amount of stress in my life.

When are you due? No, it can't last forever! I'm sure your time will fly by and you'll have a baby in your arms soon!
