My baby was conceived on in March 2003. I went shopping on 31st January with my sister,Sophie as my boyfriend went to work. As we were walking around i felt a twinge but didnt think anything of it. We were at the meat counter when all of a sudden my waters broke and i felt a stong urge to push. Sophie asked me if i could make it to the car so she could drive to the hospital or at least so i didnt give birth in the supermarket. I said i didnt think there was time but that i could try. I got help from Sophie and a staff member as we walked to the car. Once we were in the car i said that i really needed to push. So i did as Sophie tried to get in touch with my boyfriend Chris. She got through to him and put him on the handset in her car as i pushed again. Sophie got into the car and sat in the drivers seat ready to drive but i told her i wouldnt make it to the hospital as i could feel the babies head comming out. She turned around as i pushed really hard. I told her to hold my hand as i would need something to squeeze. Chris told me he loved me and wished he was there but Sophie told him she would talk him through it. And so she did as i began pushing again she told him she could see the head and that it was amazing. A couple more pushes later and baby Thomas was born. My sister drove me to hospital as Chris got out of work. He made it to the hospital and when he got there he kissed Thomas on the head and then kissed me. The next day after i got out of hospital Chris proposed to me - i accepted of course.

Chris and i are still engaged but are expecting another baby in May 2005. We are soooo incredibly happy. My sister sophie is also pregant with her first child and also due in May also . I think its the same week.

June 2005

I had my baby girl on May 22nd with my fiance there and Sophie had her baby daughter on 21st May. She had hers in hospital and called it Melanie. I had mine in the bedroom of my flat. I called her Gemma. She came with no fuss this time as i stayed in the house in the final week so not to give birth somewhere strange. It was a simple labour and lasted 5 1/2 hours. We are getting married on 24 Decmber 2005. We also want loads more kids and im sure the wedding night will be fun when we conceive another hopefully. Sophie will be my bridesmaid and Thomas, Gemma and Melanie will walk behind me as my page boy and two flower girls. I sooooooooooo want more kids and ive always loved the idea of being pregant when i marry.

P.S I would love for some of you to email me and we could talk about our experiences togrther.

Well it looks like im gonna get my wish. IM PREGNANT YEAH! Im sooooo happy. Getting married to the man i love and having a third child with him is brilliant. Thomas will be two when he/she is born and Gemma will be just under a year. 11 months. It came as quite a surprise to conceive so soon after Gemma was born. The baby was conceive one night at the end of July (29th). I think it was the first time we'd had sex since she was born. It was great tho'. I will be 21 weeks and a day when i get married so not a big bump,just how i imagined it. I do have a slight problem tho', im constipated but hey not to worry, IM PREGNANT after all. What else can i expect.

Anyways dont forget the emails.

Had a fabulous wedding day. Everything went well. Chris made a speech and i cried it was very emotional. I love him soooooooooooo much. Still pregnant (37 weeks on Friday) and im not enjoying it anymore. Wish soooooo much it was over. Although i have enjoyed it up until recently when is soooo hard to sleep and get comfortable. My husband (sounds weird saying that) has been great though. Dont know what id do without him. Im sooooooooo badly constipated with this one and i wasnt with Thomas or Gemma. Glad it will end soon and i can go back to being regular again. My email address is gardinerpamela@hotmail.com. Feel free to email me before or after the birth as i will update this when the time comes. Due 5th May so will type up birth story around that time. The baby may come before that though as i had a twinge last night. Im not prepared for the birth as ive been trying to orgaise my birth plan for the past few days but dont know whether to have a simple hospital birth, water birth which ive ever tried before or have a home birth. Help needed here-any suggestions necessary.

Thanks-dont forget those emails(gardinerpamela@hotmail.com)

Gave birth on April 18th. New it wouldnt be long until i gave birth. Im am sooo happy with my three kids. This one is a girl which we called Mia after my midwife. She really helped me decide what way was best to give birth. I decided on a water birth which in turn was better as contractions weren't as strong. The baby came without a fuss. My sister is getting married at christmas although i dont think its the same day as my wedding anniversary. She wants more kids but wants to get married before anymore come. I still want more kids although after just having this one a month ago ill leave it a while. Im Sophies bridemaid and she has Thomas,Gemma and Melanie walking behind her. Im not constipated anymore which is good.

Come on dont forget those emails. Id love to hear your stories.
