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.

Morning waves. Hope you managed to rest.

Did your doula come back?

Oops, hardly noticed DH going to work as I was checking up on you Waves.

It has been quite a while since you posted so I hope all is well and Baby Acrobat is having lovely snuggles with his amazing mummy.

Morning waves! Any sign of darling acrobat?

I was so determined to attempt sleep last night that I put my phone away. Managed 1.5 hours maybe? Still no acrobat to cuddle, just increasingly bad pain so am going to have to go back to hospital as things feel totally unbearable. I wish I could hop out of my body even for half an hour.

I've been snuggling acrobats blankets, since yesterday morning actually.

I really want the end of this journey to be today. I'm exhausted and hurt. Now the worst headache ever since around midnight and feels like my chest and throat are being squeezed too.

It is a lovely day, fresh after rain and sunny now.

I hope they contemplate inducing me now, I don't want to be stuck in this stage, I don't have the energy and can't manage the everywhere pain.

On a positive the midwife yesterday commented on how lovely and delicate my ankles are still.... I think the word is cankles (?) for a lot of women in pregnancy but mine are just like normal.

I am so glad of all this love and care and support winging its way to me. I promise I will let you all know what is going on.

I couldn't get back to sleep at 4 this morning as the rain was so heavy, so of course I checked on here for news

Waves, as desperate as we all are for Acrobat to arrive (not as desperate as you, obviously!) it's really time to put yourself first now. We'll still be here.

I've got an image now of you in hospital:
Midwife: Is there anyone we can call for you?
Waves: No, but could you update my MN thread please?

Waves it certainly has been a long journey. I hope the end is in sight now - i can't believe you cuold be put through any more.

Good luck today - i keep checking your thread for t he good news!

Good luck! Hope today is the day!

The end (or rather the beginning) is nigh! I will spend all morning sending soothing, birthing thoughts your way.

My DS, he is 9, is so wonderful. I just went up to check he was getting dressed and he said "you're the best mummy in the world. And you don't need to cry so much because it hurts. You are getting a big reward." So of course now tears are streaming because he is so lovely.

Off to dip myself in a warm bath before making plans to get myself back to hospital.

What a lovely boy, you have clearly done a great job as a mother. Acrobat is very lucky in his allocation of mum and older brother.

It is a lovely day to be born :)

Ah I knew I'd be in tears. What a wonderful son you have. Cant wait to hear about your second.

I endured a 3 day early labour with ds2 and it's not nice.
They broke my waters when I was 4cm and ds2 was delivered 3 hours later :)
So, induction isn't always stressful or bad :)

Yeah sometimes enough is enough. When's your due date?

Waves, please will you let the hospital know that you have had a really bad headache? I don't want to be alarmist, but can that not be a sign of pre eclampsia?

I'm no medical bod, and I know we have knowledgeable peeps on here, buti think you need to phone the hospital to let them know.

Ill let hospital know about everything. My due date is Monday so hopefully they will be proactive and have a good idea on what to do. My lift should be here any minute so not long til I'm up there.

Your DS is so sweet Waves :) almost made me cry there!

Good luck at the hospital, I hope they can help you out somehow xx

another one saying, really tell them about the headache asap! at thus stage that needs checking out immediately. better to be safe.
good luck for it being today.

Just delerking to wish you well, sending all the positive vibes I can your way.
Good luck waves xx

Good luck today waves and fingers crossed for acrobat's arrival!

Good luck Waves!!

Big reward indeed that is so true! 3rd time you will be holding lovely newborn, what a lovely brother + sister he'll have! .

Keep thinking of that special tree in York. Keep going waves.

Good morning waves, your ds is absolutely lovely , I also welled up reading what he said.
Good luck at the hospital, really hope Acrobat makes his appearance today, you deserve it!

Good luck today autumn! I really hope little one comes ASAP for u. Fingers crossed for hosp deciding to induce.
Hugs and hand holding xxx

Oh waves, what a bloody star your DS is!
