| the ladies you were on the maternity/labour ward with?!
When I was 'waiting' I made friends lol with Charlotte, she was having her 2nd baby, and although only 21 she was SO mature! While we were eating our tea, she just got up went to the loo, came back and said she'd started - Im surprised the baby wasn't born there and then!
Anyway I didnt have Izzy til the next morning so Lexii is a day older, but we were on the same ward afterwards.
She only lives in Telford and we haven't yet met up since, but keep in contact on FB which is nice!

| there was a girl opposite me who really peed me off screaming and shouting through the night and buzzing every 5 minutes - but my oh started talking to her oh, and eventually we got talking, turns out she had been in labour over a day and a half, had every drug going and ended up with a section and was having really weird dreams cos o all the drugs so i felt bad for getting annoyed lol. But yeah braden and jakob were born on the same day, we stay in touch meet up now and again and we went to their hen/stag nights and wedding in december x |

| No unfortunately, there was a lovely girl opposite me who was also having her first and because we were there for 3 days before both being induced we really did become friends. We had the babies on the same day and ended up in the same room afterwards too, we did swap numbers but nothing came of it. Shame really. |

| No, I went straight to the labour ward both times so didnt meet anybody prior to babies being born. After Aimee was born, I had a room to myself, and after Lily, we didnt really talk much to the other parents, well, not enough to keep in touch. I was THAT mother with THAT baby who didnt shut up crying at 3am! x |

| I didn't get to meet anyone as I was in a delivery room from getting to the hospital at 9pm on Thursday till she was born Friday night. Then I had a private room until I went home on Sunday night. |

| I was in for 4 days before I had Stephen but everyone kept going off to have their babies while I was waiting for Stephen to get a move on so it was like a conveyor belt of women in labour in my ward I was in for 4 days after having him but the women in my ward all got moved on before long for various reasons. We had all had traumatic labours in that ward and a lot of the ladies had very poorly babies who had been transferred to other hospitals/ or Special care so it was really sad and they were all moved closer to their babies. It's a shame really because my mum is still in touch with ladies she met in hospital when my big brother was born! xx |

| oh jeez. no way! I was in my own room while in labour so was never in a labour ward. after having hannah I was in a room with a few girls. one of them had her baby then sat her baby inbetween her legs and one midwife passed the ward and ran in shouting at her because she hadnt had a wash since she had given birth and she couldnt sit her baby in there because she wasnt clean then she was refusing to get up out her bed to have a shower. another girl had a gorgeous wee boy and everytime someone "new" came into the ward she WARNED them before they looked at her baby that he was ginger. thing is he had brown hair. it was like she was so ashamed of him. she drove me mental I dont know how many times I screamed in my head "HES NOT EVEN GINGER" so erm no. I remember there being one really nice girl who picked up hannah when she was crying when I was at the breakfast room. I had run as quickly as I could to grab something to eat and back. when I got back she was trying to comfort her. I thought that was lovely but we were at other ends of the ward from each other so didnt talk much after that. |

| Unfortuantely, I didnt get to keep in touch with any of the antenatal lot as the final session didnt happen, and when i was in hospital i was in a lonely little room on my own . That is something i would have liked and was looking forward to meeting others. Anyone i say that to though says i am mad and being on the ward is a nightmare. But it still would have been nice....

| I was all alone on the ward from teatime to when I left late afternoon the next day so I didn't speak to anyone. Before that I was trying to sleep and the other 3 bays were full but they were all with family and getting ready to leave. I didn't like anyone from my ante-natal class so didn't keep in touch with them either, though I did see one having a tour of the unit the day after I had Arwyn and met another one at a class but I avoided passing on my number |

| erm nope!!! LOL
See what 2 years younger then me at the time so was 21 and was her first baby and the first night on the ward around 4am she was so fed she started shouting at her baby for crying, and kept moaning at everyone else who's baby was crying cos it would wake hers up.
She kept moaning the next day to her family about crying babies. she moaned at the midwifes saying her baby was crying cant you shut it up.
I could go on!!!!
So no did not keep in contact with her
