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.

I'm up at hospital now. Doula with me and just chilling out. Breathing away. Shift change in half an hour when my dilation will be checked. I've pregnant pole danced through the car park during contractions.

May or may not update, we will see how things go Thanks

Dear Acrobat, please make an appearance before this thread runs out and I do my usual headless chicken act of trying to find the new one Blush

[grins] pregnant pole dance

Badvoc · 26/07/2013 19:45

Whoo hoo!
Go waves!

themidwife · 26/07/2013 19:48

It all sounds really good! Natural endorphins kicking in & your brain switching into prehistoric mode. Let it happen, stop thinking if you can & allow it to take over. Wish you were having a home birth here, I'd be honoured to catch your baby xxxx

Cluffyflump · 26/07/2013 19:52

Go waves!
You are fab in labour as well as life in general Grin

MissStrawberry · 26/07/2013 19:53

Woo hoo!!

Show your Doula how to use whatever product you have so she can update us Grin. Not sure we'll be able to wait until the morning!!

Who is looking after your other children?

auntpetunia · 26/07/2013 19:57

Ooh exciting! You will be brilliant xxx

Allalonenow · 26/07/2013 19:58

Oooh Waves, glad to hear you are in hospital now, hope everything is going well and smoothly. x

Orianne · 26/07/2013 20:03

Go Waves xx

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 26/07/2013 20:10

Go on waves Smile

Seabright · 26/07/2013 20:10

Tonight's the night! Here's hoping it's quick, painless & stitch-less!

wordyBird · 26/07/2013 20:10

Very glad to hear you are at the hospital now :) good luck !

MrBloomsMarrow · 26/07/2013 20:11

Another online auntie pacing around nervously outside delivery room. Waves, you totally rock! Shall I get some cigars in?

GaryBuseysTeeth · 26/07/2013 20:11

Flowers C'mon Acrobat!!
So glad it's finally (fingers crossed!) happening! Grin

ThePortlyPinUp · 26/07/2013 20:13

WingDefence · 26/07/2013 20:13

The very best of luck and love waves!

auntpetunia · 26/07/2013 20:21

This must be what it was like for dad's in the 40s and 50s ,hanging around waiting!!!

vole3 · 26/07/2013 20:40

Wine or Brew to wet Acrobats head?

wheredidiputit · 26/07/2013 20:44

good luck Waves. Hope Acrobats arrives sooner rather then later today.

Featherbag · 26/07/2013 20:45

Hope everything is going just the way you want it - in fact I hope it's all over and you're sitting having newborn cuddles with Acrobat right now!

gertrudetrain · 26/07/2013 20:47

I'm having a Wine to celebrate. Never been so excited about a birth of a person who I've never met. Hope no updates mean you are 8-9cm.

Jux · 26/07/2013 20:48

Pacing furiously. Looking for traditional cigars (chocolate ones, these days of course!).

springytoto · 26/07/2013 20:52

oh! it's been over an hour since the last poster! Just had a stunning supper (of course! Just who's the cook, eh?) and I'm ready to settle in. I don't know anything about anything but I'm here, listening to Radio 1 - some american woman....

No, wait, I should be c-a-l-m because you're probably in the zone, waves

or actually in hospital??

I do agree MissStrawberry it's mighty dusty in here all of a sudden

springytoto · 26/07/2013 20:54

oh. I missed a page Blush
