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.

Thinking maybe one of you should make a new thread for Waves and post the link here for her to find as this is going to fill up very fast very soon!

About to make daft suggestion -

How about at 11.15am we all thinking dilating and pushing thoughts really strongly and see if we can help Waves on her way.

Did it work?!

Quick update, bad reception. In delivery suite 5cm dilated. Lovely midwife just did sweep to encourage things as he is determined to have baby out on his shift. If nothing significant before, he will break my waters at 3. Fucking hurts like hell and now primal roaring my way through contractions before breathing them away like the sea. Off I go on a other

Cheering quietly from the lurking sidelines. You are amazing!

Yes! Go waves, go! Am so excited! I keep checking in and have been lurking for days. I know I'll cry like an idiot when Acrobat is born. Have already been welling up at some of your updates. You are so wonderful and strong, you can do this!

5cm is halfway!! Not long now - by the end of the day for sure. You're doing brilliantly!

Yes! Come on Waves! You are marvellous, not long to go now!

Excellent news, You go girl!

Go girl! That's great [sniff]

[do we think MNHQ could bend the universe extend this thread/start another on waves' behalf? I don't think we could cope with a non-pink OP waves thread. Though MN should make the OP blue imo, in honour of the little chap]

[aware used up another post to ask. sorry. I'm going to approach the PTB, cap in hand ]

Go WAVES! Go WAVES!

I have made a couple of suggestions to MNHQ so will see what they say.

Go waves! Dd2 arrived 10 mins after being told i was 5 cm, i really hope is same for you and you are having lovely newborn cuddles. :)

Go go go waves! (I mooed my way through labour - until I gave up and demanded an epidural! It was too late for it, thhough.)

Hoping it's quick now.

No baby yet and just on a lull from cx at the moment. If no progress by 2.30 my lovely mw will do arm. He says I just need my baby in my arms. He has cannulated me so many times though, he understands how tough this has been.

Oh, no pain relief at all and hoping to get straight in the pool once waters have been broken to deliver the baby

Really hope the MW you get on best with is on duty for a while yet. Cow-like mooing, primal roars whatever works for you!

Had to go out to get Internet! Sending lots of puffing & panting vibes.

I wanted to wait to wave my pom poms until after Acrobat is born, but I'm just so excited!

Attagirl waves!

Hurry up Acrobat!

Waves you're doing brilliantly, you're an amazing woman :)

Less than 10 hours to go waves before my prediction of a Sunday birthday . . . . . . Keep mooing xxxxxx
You are my inspiration xx

Hope everything is going well xx

DS and DD will be waiting for news they did a beautiful job helping waves decorate the bump cast.

Thinking of you x

I hope you did get your waters broken and all is going well xx
