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.

Just re reading this and seen a few x posts. Hi babyhmummy started getting crampy again now so goodness knows what is happening..... Thought I was maybe going to have a night off.
mushroomsoup (yum, I have some homemade in the freezer for when I'm not pregnant and sick) I'm glad you understand where I'm coming from re twunt and the birth. I genuinely have a good heart, and I'd like to think I will be in a space where I feel able to allow twunt to see his son enter the world. I'm giving myself the option, but that really is all it is, an option. I wont feel mean if it turns out that I dont want him there. My key birth plan thing is calm mother, calm birth, calm baby. Small talk banned, lots of lovely music to listen to, and a beautiful tree to retreat to during surges.
oh, and I do have a name sorted, although the middle name is a choice of 2. I thought I couldn't find a name that I'd love as much as the names of my DCs, but turns out I have managed.
Thanks for all the support still.... It makes me smile and feel less overwhelmed to hear so many of you thinking I am doing ok 
Right, positive sleep vibes needed in case this genuinely is the latent stage of labour and I have hard work looming ahead. At least I put on my pregnant plumber hat and took the kitchen sink and waste pipe apart to give it a thorough clean 
nesting gone crazy again.

I was on my phone when I posted earlier, its so hard trying to get a considered point across when you have hot hands!
I do understand you wanting to have an option, just dont want you to feel under any pressure or anyone interrupting your calm birthing plan. And the chances of him rolling up and putting his twuntish spin on things would send you to a place you dont need to be in during labour.
I think we all feel very protective toward you now, like a little family of virtual tigers.

Waves, you sound like a different woman from the one whose first thread I read 
Yes, things are still difficult but you picked yourself up, took on loads of advice from other wise MNers and you've survived.
Good luck x

Waves I've been following your threads since the word go (may have posted on the first one I think, can't remember!) but just delurking here to wish you and littlenAcrobat a very safe and happy birth experience.
Like everyone else I have marvelled at your strength, courage and dignity, and am so pleased your wanky lodger has left so that your house can be a haven again! Look after yourself and I send a million positive wishes and blessings to help you and your family in every possible way

No acrobat yet, well, still one being very active in me, but not yet out
I slept (hoorah!) which is good because when DD woke up she was promptly sick. I have my HG sick bowl, and whilst she kind of reached that, it was fairly violent vomming so I now have bedding going through the washing machine.
Just a bit crampy so far today, and will hopefully be spending much of it chilling out with DD. No gig for me - I am being sensible for a change, and planning not to overdo things. Must admit that had DD not been poorly I would probably have risked it, but I wouldn't contemplate dragging her along to it.
I am STILL in 2 minds (maybe more) about twunt and the birth. Thing is, I don't want him there (I don't think) whilst I am in active labour/transition, just maybe present at the hospital, so he can come in for the actual pushing out of baby bit.
That said, I texted him yesterday about the persistent contractions, and after he got a bit arsey (as far as I could infer from the text message - so hard to pick up on things when they aren't spoken) I sent him a link explaining latent v active stage of labour. Not a word since - no how's it goings on sleep wells. So I am feeling a bit angry with him again now, especially as I feel that I didn't so much offer him an olive branch but an olive grove in inviting him to potentially be part of the birth experience.
What a twunt.
