    we post ours in the normal birth stories section but them link them to a thread here in the HB section (we also prefix the title of the birth story with homebirth...although in your case it would be cool to put 'unplanned HB' as i reckon people would find that quite fascinating!).

    Ree: make plans that you cannot possibly even cancel...that tends to bring a baby on

    many hugs, i would also feel quite stressed at having that time limit...but as others have said at this stage in pregnancy wednesday is still quite faraway

    Beatrix it must be stressful knowing he is unwell.

    ReeRee: don't stress it's still a few days of I bet you will be fine. Don't worry I know it feels like you will be pregnant forever, but as it happens generally one day you are the next baby could be here hope to hear that you've birthed your bubba soon.

    Thanks everyone I am trying everything!!!
    Day 2 of successful ctg monitoring all done. I am to go in daily, until Wednesday when my care switches to hospital, and they will induce (ARM then Synto after 1-2 hours)
    They tell me that after 40 weeks, the placenta stops growing, while the baby keeps growing, and so the placenta will shut down and my baby will die..
    Today's VE shows I am 3cm dilated, 50% effaced, with bulging waters. 2/5 engaged.

    Tomorrow I've got DS' birthday lunch party, and then Monday is DS' actual birthday, so I do have firm plans in place! Have had 2 sessions of acupuncture, last night being the most recent. I'm pressing my pressure points, walking up hills, squatting, thrusting, EPO, orgasms, about to pop the breast pump on now.
    I am having intense tightenings, just not regularly and only accompanied with lower back and period pain occasionally. I just need *something* to push me over the edge!
