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.

Wishing you all the luck in the world you amazing woman!

pointythings · 23/07/2013 21:10

Call your doula and get checked out, this sounds like the real deal!

Go, waves!!!

Good luck waves xxx

Conina · 23/07/2013 21:28

Oh waves, I've been keeping an eye on you since the start - I so hope everything is starting and that it goes well xxx

MrBloomsMarrow · 23/07/2013 21:31

Good luck waves ! Does MN do a pride of Mumsnet award, you know, like pride of Britain? If they don't, I think we should suggest it and waves should get the first award for triumph over adversity and just general awesomeness.

Cluffyflump · 23/07/2013 21:34

You are so brilliant Waves Thanks

Please call your doula as I have a feeling this labor could suddenly jump to full pelt without much warning.
I would say you've been in the latent stage for a couple of days already and your cervix is likely to be very soft (I'd bet you're 3-4 dilated already. Total guess! Grin)

I hope it goes swimmingly.
I can't wait to 'meet' your darling, little acrobat xx

BoreOfWhabylon · 23/07/2013 21:36

Well said, MrBlooms.

Good luck, waves!

themidwife · 23/07/2013 21:37

Honey the doula can't diagnose labour. I'm sure she's lovely but you need a midwife for that. Get kids sorted & ring maternity triage. Good luck - it sounds promising to me!! Smile

jasmine3663 · 23/07/2013 21:38

Good luck

Allalonenow · 23/07/2013 21:39

Oh waves!
Very best of luck to you and Acrobat!!

Mixxy · 23/07/2013 21:45

Sounds very promising!

Best of luck waves!

wavesandsmiles · 23/07/2013 21:50

I'm going to give things another half an hour, then will call up maternity if things haven't eased off. Just been horrendously sick!

Oh good luck waves ...hurry up wee acrobat your aunties are waiting,,,impatiently now Smile

themidwife · 23/07/2013 21:55

If you didn't have HG I'd say vomiting was a BIG warning you're going into labour. Did it feel different? Any show? Have you emptied your bowel too?

LiveItUp · 23/07/2013 21:58

Oh Waves, it does sound like it. Get the kids sorted with whomever will be looking after them, and good luck. x

AppleCrumples · 23/07/2013 21:59
