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.

[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 ] [/quote]

We're afraid that extending the thread won't be possible - as once threads go over a certain capacity, it slows the whole site right down. As much as we'd love to help you out, we'd actually be making it more difficult for you to post and read the thread, which we're sure you don't want!

Again, as much as we'd like to help, we don't think it's quite right if MNHQ started making OPs on other posters behalf - as we try to interfere as little as possible. Of course there's nothing stopping one of you doing it

Sorry to be the voice of doom! Hope everything is going well for you waves !

KateSMumsnet - what about my suggestion via the report button??

If it helps I've started a come on waves thread in chat that can be posted on so waves can come back here an announce acrobat's arrival.

If not what is wanted, it'll disappear anyway.

Come on Acrobat!! Thinking of you Waves, sending speeding-up vibes to get things moving. You're doing so well! xx

KateSMumsnet - what about my suggestion via the report button??

""Could you also make the OP blue instead of pink in honour of her little boy" < is that what you were referring to? We're afraid we don't have the tech resources to do that. You're very welcome to customise your talk settings so that the OP shows up in a different colour?

No, that wasn't me.

In my report I suggested that if someone started a thread for Waves you could make her posts coloured rather than the actual OP so that people could find Waves' posts easily.

I'm hoping no news is good news? it's been three hours since they hopefully broke her waters - DD1 was born ooh, five minutes after they did that for me after a 50-hr labour bloomin wish they'd done it sooner

Acrobat is here!!!! No weight yet, but he is lovely. Really difficult birth from my perspective, his head was born transverse so was quite a long pushing stage. Had gas and air in pushing stage but nothing other than that, although had ARM.

Full story once I'm a bit less shellshocked. His name is Caspian Nicholas John

Thank you all for your support, hoping for a 6 hour discharge so will catch up properly later. He is so lovely!!!!

OMG Congratulations! Enjoy!
