Way to go Bubs! :) Glad you share about it. Great progress! Crossing my fingers that you will have a positive delivery of your princess! My last one went very well(the first one didn't) because I was well prepared. And because I decided to fight to stay present and to allow my self to refuse being 'brave' and whine as much I wanted to- basically I decided it was okay to be a bitch.. :D (the epidural helped too..)

Soon enough you will be able to hold her in your arms.. Oh! Crossing all my fingers and toes! :hug:
 
@macca it's really f*cking hot here. We don't have aircon, but we do have fans. We're moving the bed downstairs this weekend because the attic design of the house means the upstairs bedroom (all of upstairs) heats up like a damned oven.

@zaniara I think I'll get through the first part of labor at home, and then when things start speeding up a little, I'll ring in, let them know I'm coming and have the anesthetist waiting for when I land.
My psych said I don't want to interfere with standard routines, so if I go with an epidural as soon as I land, they can examine me without it being a problem.

I actually survived an internal swab with the midwife on Friday, wasn't sure if my waters had broken or if it was just my plug thinning out....turns out it was the latter.

But the point is I had no flashbacks or anything like that, and it didn't trigger me which is a HUGE step forward. Although having the CTG on me for 4 hours straight eventually had me feeling really antsy and snarly, so I eventually told them it had to come off because I couldn't handle it, and they took it straight off.

I think I'll get through this ok. I've been through worse shit, surely the physical effort of welcoming my little girl has got nothing on the bullshit that people used to do to me when I was small and unable to speak.

Now I can speak for myself, I have the support, and I'll be ok. A huge hug though, for the ladies who had PTSD or trauma, and didn't have the support I do, I know how you felt.
 
I am looking forward to it. Tomorrow is the due date, so I guess we'll see how things go! I'm sure madam will wait a while just to make things interesting and keep her daddy on her toes!

Finally got some half decent sleep last night, so feeling a little better.

Moving the bed downstairs into the living area, because the upstairs bedroom is ridiculous in summer, and the slack arse landlord was too cheap to install aircon.

Ah well, over all, no major complaints, just the usual fun!
