Will this become the live birth thread? Will Lodger 1 leave? Will waves be smiling throughout this thread?

Doula is on call, bags are packed, acrobat was a teeny 14 weeks foetus when I started posting - he is about to become DC3, I'll stop being sick and a whole new chapter will begin.

What's wrong with a birthing pool?
(Think it may just be a bit too shallow though!)

Loving waves being the real-life Kate

Stay cool girl, almost there

I am interested in hearing when Kate is in labour but I care about when Waves is.

I wish the Duchess well but c'mon acrobat, we're eager to hear waves has had you . Keep cool everyone!

No progress to report yet I'm afraid, although I had a mad spell of contractions for about 3 hours earlier. Hopped in the paddling pool with the kids which was rather nice. I am actually hoping for a water birth, but the DCs wouldn't forgive me if they came home from school to find their beloved pool filled with bits from inside me. Bleurgh.

I feel more content today. I have boxed away and buried my anger, disappointment and fears and feel more tranquil now. So, Acrobat, you can come now.

So pleased that you're feeling happier today. Perhaps your body/mind has allowed itself to put twunt to the back of everything so that acrobat is born into a lovely peaceful and joyful environment.

It's amazing how sticking your feet in a cold paddling pool of water cools you down so well, isn't it?

Well done, Waves!

I am interested in hearing when Kate is in labour but I care about when Waves is

this. Waves, darling, you are amazing.

Twunt, be delighted that none of us actually know who you are in real life because if you were any man I knew I'd spit in your face. Now fuck off.

Hi Waves, another lurker here, wishing you well. I just wanted to point out that if Twunt is reading this, it may be wise to throw some misinformation on the thread, name change or even move to OTBT, otherwise he'll find out when you're in labour and may turn up even if you don't want him there.

I sincerely hope all goes well for you and your beautiful acrobat.

Hi waves,

Another delurker here, sending you lots of happy vibes, I've followed your story and think you are awesome

I wish you the birth you want, and I know you are going to have a wonderful future with your beautiful children x

Well done Waves.

Go waves go

Yet another delurker

Wishing you all the best waves, you're amazing.

nothing at all wrong with a birthing pool...i just meant get out of the paddling pool and into the real birthing pool if required before it is too late. couple if my friends have been caught short second or third time around!

although it would be a good story to tell acrobat...born in a paddling pool.

Hiya waves. Still rooting for you over here but have been dealing with chicken poxy DS and now ill DD (16 weeks tomorrow!) so not been on MN as much as usual. Thinking of you lots though. HG nearly gone

Delurking to say so much good luck to you and I so admire how you have handled this tough time. Not long now till cuddles with Acrobat!

Bloody hell, Well done Waves

Ive been thinking of you lots, not long now, loser lodger has buggered off so everything is in place for your Acrobat's arrival.

Your awesomeness came through in your very first thread, you are in fact an MN legend. i hope one day you can read back and see just how amazing you are, and how far you have come.

Wishing you well my lovely, we're all here for you... In fact there are so many of us under your tree that it's hard to find a spot in the shade!

for you and for your DCs, not long now til it's and for you too

Think we need an ice cream icon what with all this sunshine MNHQ!!

Thinking of you each morning Waves, like other posters I'm checking on you and Acrobat before I even look on the news to see if the royal baby has arrived yet .

Hope all goes well and that Acrobat arrives soon, happily and healthily and easily and quickly, with perfect timing!

checking in, leaving and a BIG FAN to keep us all cool, until air con is installed.

Good luck waves, long time lurker here too. Wishing you all the best and a safe delivery. You are awesome

Checking in to see how you are doing waves, I'm glad you have boxed the negatives and are concentrating on the positives.
You are amazing, just keep repeating that in moments of weakness x

Holiday internet has not been up to much, but have managed to get on to catch up with news.

I'm so glad that L1 has left (with a clean room too!)

Glad you've managed to bury the box in the garden - and I'm sending lots of positive, peaceful vibes in your direction - and hoping Acrobat doesn't keep you waiting around for too much longer!

Wishing you well Waves and hope you can keep cool and calm. x

I check here first to see if Acrobat has arrived then the news to see if Baby Cambridge has .

Another delurker here. Just want to wish you well Waves. I hope that no news = good news and that Acrobat is now on his way.

I think you have been wonderful and that your DCs are very lucky to have such a great Mum
