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 book are you reading under the gnarled oak tree? Is it sunny?

I think I know where the tree might be. Yes, lovely spot. I am imagining you there. And wishing you so many good things xx

In like a banana, out like a pineapple is what I remember.
It made me laugh and took my mind off things.

Have you got any comedy DVD's to distract you? Having Mrs Doyle say 'g'wan, g'wan, g'wan' might encourage Acrobat to turn.......

We're all here mentally rubbing your back & sending so many positive strokes. He's a shit head. I believe in karma & I know you'll rise like a Phoenix with your beautiful baby

thinking of you lots Waves , not long now and you will be having lovely delicious newborn cuddles with little acrobat

Another one shaking Pom poms and offering virtual back massage. Come on acrobat, your mummy's tired.

Your doing brilliantly, not long now and your gorgeous acrobat will be here. Sending big hugs and good vibes, you can do it.

refresh refresh refresh

Thinking of you waves and wishing you waves of cool air keeping you fresh as you labour x

Ive been out all afternoon and evening and the first thing I did after getting DD to bed - was check to see how you are. I just said to DH, hang on a minute, got to check for a baby arrival. Im sure he thinks Im nuts and I was going on about Prince George, Alexander, Louis...

Waves - I think I remember that tree from when I was there when I was younger. It is one of my lovely places that I go to in my minds eye, not the tree, or the Abbey, but the street that I walked along and those Tudor beams. Its bizarre how the mind works.

Sending lots of soothing vibes, hoping baby turns to an easier birthing position soon and pops out to say hello. hot bath

Just lying super still in bed, breathing, trying to relax and imagine the back rubs. So tired! Burst into tears when my lodger popped his head in. Well, actually I was already in tears when he opened the door and I couldn't stop.

What with the HG and now this back to back business I feel like a walking advert for contraception.

Hoping for some mre rest to give me energy for the final stages of all this.

Hi Waves, hope you are ok.
Just a quick note to tell you I think you are very brave and strong and that I hope everything goes well with the birth of acrobat.
Sending you love and good vibes, hoping everything runs smoothly. :)

Thinking of you Waves. Not long now.

(Hugs)

Sending you some virtual back rubs waves, keeping everything crossed that things move quickly and you'll have that lovely little boy in your arms very soon. You are amazing and strong, and you'll get through this with the whole of MN behind you.

(((((Hugs 'n' back rubs)))))

Am holding my breath every time I check in...

Well done you, do whatever feels right and follow your body

I know we all are

Not long now, you are BRILLIANT!

Yes, Mrs DeVere is right as always there are so many people thinking of you and cheering you on

Hugs x

Have you tried being on your knees, resting on your lower arms, so your head is below your pelvis? This can help to relieve the pressure on your back and also encourages the baby to slip round so it is front to back.

Hope you get some relief soon xx

You've come so far waves now your new baby is nearly with you, I am full of admiration for how you kept going and looking after two DCs as well, Superwoman.

Oh you poor lovely. When you said about the sensation in your legs, I wondered about back to back. This pregnancy is going to give you a hard time till the very end, it seems like - you'd better be the most mellow, sleeping, smiley little baby boy in the WORLD to make this up to your mum, Acrobat!

I'm here all night if you need company, Waves, it's 9am where I am.

So sorry you're suffering so much, Waves and of course it's ok to mourn the loss of what should have been (although if DH had tried to even touch me when I was in labour I'd have hit him!)
Hope your doula is back with you soon and stays with you now - I have an odd feeling that things might kick off around 2am, which will be 11am here. I will be at playgroup then but will be back by 12noon, so maybe this will all be over then and your snuffly baby will be out! Fingers crossed for you, lovely. xx

thinking of you intensely dear waves (sorry to be intense about it). Is it still hot there? (it's cooled down considerably here). Could you get your blankets to remind you of all the love focused on you? I am a great believer that emotions are transferred to cloth/fabric. yy that's a bit woo but tbh bog standard doesn't necessarily work in life - as I think many of us have seen - so a bit of woo is not necessarily as nutty as it may sometimes appear. There's a lot of love in them blankets, I'm certain of it.

Turn around, turn around, Acrobat - be a good chap Will you talk to the unit tonight? They may be able to suggest things to help. Plus a rl voice helps a lot.

Lots of love dear waves xoxoxoxo

difficult pregnancy, hard labour...here is hoping that means acrobat will be a wee angel

if anyone deserves a rest it is both of you.
all the best waves and you acrobat.

Osteopathy is great for turning back to back babies. The amazing osteopath I know puts her fingers right under your pelvis & manipulates things & the babies turn. Magic! Do you know anyone? Hope you're alright & coping Waves. You have so many people thinking of you right now. We all care alot.

Just checking in lovely Waves.

It's a beautiful morning here in Cornwall, the rain has refreshed our parched land and the scent of strawberries hangs heavy in the garden. The sky is blue, the sea is bluer. What a beautiful day to be born!

Hope you are resting under that shady tree and tht minxy acrobat has turned! Sending love and strength xx
