Lilypie First Birthday tickers

40+3

So, baby measures 35cm. But he's 2/5s palpable, which means his head is bloody far down and won't drop much more before birth. Nonetheless, I had a scan yesterday to check his growth and he's fine. He weighs around 2lb less than his brother did, but that's within normal limits at his gestational age. So, the consultant cleared me for a homebirth and sent me home to await events.

I await them, impatiently.

Nothing's happening apart from nonspecific cramps and backache and the odd prolonged braxton hicks. No show, no waters, no bleeding. Nothing.

I want it over, primarily because I'm an emotional wreck. I don't know what feelings are valid and which are hormonal. Then ones I have that ARE valid are discounted by others as hormones. Yes, Ex, I'm talking about you.
