Thesis submission AND baby imminent - pls calm me down!

[PerpetualStudent]

So:

DC2 is due in 10 weeks (late Sept). I had pre-eclampsia with DS1 and a man showing signs of getting it again, so may be looking at an induction as soon as 7 weeks.

Thesis is due by 1st Dec at latest. No possibility for further extensions, I've played all my cards on that count.

I have had migraines throughout this pregnancy, which I'm now able to manage with osteopathy and careful food/drink choices, but have a low-level headache a lot of the time, on top of general pregnancy knackerdness.

Still have 2 short (5-8000 words) chapters to write and 2 big chapters which need significant work, planned for pre-baby. With a view to sending a rough full draft to supervisor just before due date, and then doing all the editing and submission admin in approx. first 6 weeks of baby's life.

I have been laughing this off for the past 6 months but: this is crazy, isn't it? How one earth can I manage this?! Am I going to crash and burn? Has anyone been through any broadly similar timelines with thesis/baby? What are the top tips for not having a nervous breakdown between now and Christmas?! All advice gratefully received!

Imposter, I didn't say incomplete, and that's not what I meant. I've done plenty of PhD examining, and given major corrections and referred plenty. It's part of the job. And I don't think any worse of either the supervisor or the student (unless, as turned out in one case, the student was a total bellend).

I meant a PhD that was complete in terms of its chapters and length and evidence and argument, but perhaps just not as polished as the student would like it to be.

Anyway, it's only something I would suggest when a student is in a dire situation and the university or funding council are being completely inflexible. It's MUCH better advice than just giving up.

I appreciate the responses. I thought it important to clarify this point in case people thought it was an option.

Oh yes it's not incomplete- all the chapters and information is there, it's just sitting around 55k instead of nearer 80! If I did my references, in theory I could submit it. I'd rather have it longer and more polished though, as you say the risk is a fail.
I wouldn't want to annoy my examiners or make them think I'm lazy- I'm not, I just don't know what else I can include that would be relevant!
I am very succinct in my academic writing though can waffle for England in all other areas
Yes please to all your extra words Perpetual!
Good luck with your meeting, let us know how it goes.

@PerpetualStudent - did you have your meeting with the ESRC rep? And what did they say re mat leave? Hope you're doing well!
