Well here it is, we now have a new 'sticky' new rider mommies thread. So feel free to use it! It is for any discussion related to pregnancy/babies/toddlers broadly in relation to horses/horse owning etc and to get general advice/ideas etc from those like-minded horsey people who have been there before you! I will be keeping an eye on this thread as moderator and also will close it and start another when it gets too enormous.

Remember this is a public forum that can be accessed by those who are not members so please do not post photos of your children or details that could give away where you live or any information you do not want on the general internet.

A good start would be a bumps/babies list so we know who we are...if you want to pm me your estimated due date and/or baby's name and birthdate then I will add them here at the top of the thread. Sorry if I forget anyone, just give me a poke and remind me!

I have two for the babies list

J - 10th August 2005
Emmy - 16th April 2008

House is quietly chaotic...but they have the same bedtimes so all is peaceful for now!!

What time do you get yours to bed? My little one (nearly 5 months old) goes down about 7:30 - 8:00pm, having a couple of hours to myself in the evening is so needed.

I aim to have them both in bed for about 7.30pm, J will normally sleep through the night from then and we are feeding Emmy at 11ish and then when ever through the night..everyone usually up at 7am - 8am....I agree with the needed time to myself...just went to bed again tonight....read about 4 pages of my book and then fell asleep!!! zzzzzzzz :D:D:D:D
 
Beth was 9lb 9, a positive lightweight compared to some of yours! She was a section. We have a lot of big babies in the family so I have hoping the next one isn't much bigger! We have had up to 13lb babies in the family in the past :eek:

She is almost 2 1/2 and goes to bed at 8pm, officially it is 7.30, really it is always 8 :rolleyes:
 
Lewis was 10lb 2oz - natural birth :eek: we didn't know he was that big they predicted 8lb 7 oz, we had a rough time.

He's been sleeping from 8pm to 6am for just over a month now and doesn't even want his bedtime milk - I think he has so much in the day that it see's him though. He's nearly 5 months.
 
Thought i had better add my others, not really babies anymore though......

Andre 30/12/2000
Dylan 14/10/2004
Amber 27/12/2006

and as Esther has kindly added I have another girl due on 29th June:D
 
Lewis was 10lb 2oz - natural birth :eek: we didn't know he was that big they predicted 8lb 7 oz,

I had this, my eldest's size was a complete shock to everyone and my middle one was predicted by a scan at 37 weeks(had a horrid OB who tried to get me to be induced early, HA!)to have a birth weight of 7-7 1/2lb, but my midwife and I knew he'd be another biggun!
 
Jake 7lb 4oz (5 days early /pre-eclampsia,intensive care)
Page 8lb 3oz (10 days late /hyperemasis gravidarum)
Bree 7lb 15oz (3 weeks early /symphasis pubis dysfunction)
Elle 6lb 11oz (3 weeks early /damaged placenta,from pony kick)

All Natural but very complicated pregnancy's.:o

Well you've all made me feel much better about my previous large babies (Izzy 9lbs13.5 and Dominic 9lbs8). I'm hoping for a slightly smaller one this time round. :)
