    Spring - I would never think of you or any decision you made as a failure. You are the strongest, most courageous woman I know. After my sister had her stillborn, I never take anything for granted, and I understand the desire to get babies out safe and sound - whatever it takes. It scared the hell out of me going so overdue with my two DD's - analyzing every movement and counting them during the day!!!

    I don't know where I'd be without all of you.

    Those of you who know me IRL know that I'm not a sooky la la, very far from it but I'm feeling very much a sooky la la today. DH is home, gave bub an eviction notice (he he) so let's see if it works. I feel so much better now that DH is home, he has been through every step of this sometimes horrid sometimes wonderful journey so I think him not being there yesterday was the straw that broke the camels back.

    So I'm off for monitoring in a few hours, I'm making a decision today about tomorrow. My heart tells me to go for it. DH supports me either way.

    I'll pop in once I'm home to update.

    Thank you thank you thank you.

    Spring xx

    spring, i haven't posted in here before but i have been guilty of stalking it

    maybe having tomorrow as a 'deadline' might get things moving, but even if it doesn't, you haven't failed yourself or anyone else. making the call on the induction shows your amazing strength.

    to you

    Spring, you are such a courageous woman....don't ever doubt that. Whatever decisions you make will be right for you and your bub....that is all that counts.

    FWIW I have strong feelings that NYE or NY day will be a very special time for you and that things are going to get moving with the full moon.

    One step at a time....and sending you strong positive healing vibes. I'm glad you feel more at ease with DH close by, I can certainly relate to that.

    Spring you are amazing and inspiring and incredible! I know this is a spontaneous labour support thread but really its just a Spring Angel support thread!!! In each and every decision you make, you are so strong and I just can't wait to hear about the safe arrival of you baby and to here what you have had and what you have named him or her! However that happens

    I hope that baby decides today is the day and pops into the world...who knows maybe we will see you on the news...last baby born in the country in the decade...or first baby of the decade lol

    Hi guys

    well the trace went perfectly, much better than yesterday. No scary moment. My BP is down a bit, but not as low as usual, I know it's just because I'm so anxious.

    So the news. We've booked an induction. Originally it was going to be tomorrow but the Ob just called and it's been moved to shortly thereafter. I don't want to give away the exact date and time in case it changes again, but I'll make sure once bub is born, I'll let Inanna know so she can post. I promise to do so whatever time it is. You guys will be told in the same breath as our family and closest friends.

    I feel so much better. A decision is made, I still have time to go into labour myself, but if it doesn't happen in the next little while, I've got a plan B.

    So tonight we are going to have some yummy take away and spend the day reflecting on the year that was and the year to come.

    I don't want to admit it out loud just yet but I may even be getting a little excited now

    Happy New Year to each and everyone of you and to your beautiful families. May 2010 be a bountiful year of blessings and happiness.

    Happy New Year to you Spring, sounds like you are entering this transition in the perfect frame of mind. You have been so strong and we are all so proud of the way you have handled these very difficult couple of weeks.
    All the best for the next couple of days and I will look forward to reading the news that you're holding bub safely in your arms.
    Love to you xxx

    Spring I am so happy that you have made a decision you are obvious content with, it sounds as though you have really made the best decision for you xo I have a feeling you are going to do it on your own anyway xo

    I hope you have a wonderful last hours or days of your pregnancy and that tonight is a relaxing (or maybe eventful lol) night for you and that you are able to have a labour and birth that you will cherish forever

    Can't wait to hear of the arrival of your precious one xo

    Wonderful news Enjoy the night, reflect on the year and make the most of the time with your two handsome men

    And now there is a plan, lets hope the littler person gets the hint (and mummy is relaxed enough!!) to make an earlier than booked arrival on the dawn of a new year

    Good luck Spring. I hope bub decides to come on its own, but otherwise you can still have a fantastic induced birth. Sounds like you are getting close, sending labour vibes to you.
