| Welcome to the Layonara forums!
Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.
Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.
After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.
There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.
We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.
Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums.

I elbowed mine awake one night to tell him that the Branston Hicks contractions hurt and then made him stay up and hold me.

Here's to the labor being as easy as possbile for you!
I've got 2 kids and my poor wife went through many hours just to get a cesarian anyway. Hope it's as pain free as possible for you.

do you have cravings? I have awful memories of driving around late at night trying to find a place open that sells garlic bread and cucumber! LOL yuck. The wife and I have worked out what causes it now so no more on the way hehe.
Ditto what Nyralotep said, you and the lil nipper TC hehe
Peace

If it's anything like my wife's second, then labor will last about 2 hours and by the time you get to the hospital they'll be telling you not to push, because the doctor isn't awake yet...
Good luck!  | | | | |

| This kind of reminded me of some beer commercial, which ended with a slogan: "It's good to be a man" 
Seriosuly though, hopefully all will be as "pleasant" (read painless) as possible and congrats, even though you didn't want a "congrats" | | | | |

oiy, so I haven't been on to check this thread til now...
pickle pizza sounds disgusting, but GOD I NEED CHINEESE FOOD!!! good, salty, fried... mmmmmmmm
too bad thats my normal craving. My only real cravings is what I went through both this time and last time, but this time I have control: icecream. hmm, I went through a gallon and a half bucket a week with my first one, cut back to a gallon and a half every two weeks with this one!!!
my first delivery was horrible... 38 hours;wed 6pm went into labor:24 hours at home, went in at 6pm on a thursday, water broke at 9pm, and the nurse didn't believe me... made her come back, blah. THEN they put me to sleep and gave me painkillers. the painkillers didn't work, so I screamed all night in my sleep. Woke up screaming at 7 am Friday, not dialated any farther due to SLEEPING the whole nite. Dialated at 7 cm til they pumped me full of pictocin (sp?) and had him at 10 am with help from thier cool suction cup thinggie... | | | | |
