A waiting game...
This baby is now officially allowed out as of Friday just gone (37 weeks). So far I've had twinges and got excited a few times but nothing's actually happened. I'm on the raspberry leaf tea (supposed to help with labour) and will be having curry at least sometimes and possibly slightly hotter ones than normal. I'll leave it to your imagination what else I'm trying ;)
Tomorrow I have a mw appt so we'll see if baby's behaving itself and showing any signs of its impending eviction. I had a consultant/scan last Tuesday when I was told the baby wasn't engaged (this means it isn't in your pelvic area and is one of the signs of imminent labour) but was on the brim, so getting there. It was approx 6lbs 15oz which slightly fills me with the fear (actually 4g heavier than Rosie was at 38+6 weeks at 36+4 weeks!!).
The good news is it's still head down so my natural delivery is on (so chuffed about that!) and I've been discharged from consultant care back to the midwives unless the baby gets very overdue.
Mum reckons it'll come soon, in the next week and a half, I'm hoping she's correct in her prediction though she has no basis to make it! My auntie is teaching reiki this weekend and today her entire class were sending me go into labour vibes as they have to practice long distance reiki. I have no idea if it'll work but won't complain if it does.
Prayers, positive vibes or whatever are very much appreciated ;)
I'm bored of feeling huge and having trousers that fall down either because they're too big or too small. I'm also fed up of peeing 4 times a night and groaning when I bend down, do my shoes or get out of bed. I still like feeling the baby move but it's pretty much the only good thing about being pregnant. Oh and I'd like some pate and soft cheese.
I'm also a bit jealous as the lovely Michelle and Nook have just had their baby today (congrats again!) and Michelle's due date was my original one - 21st Sept but I got moved to 1st Oct. They've got a very cute baby girl.
BTW, typically my iphone is off being fixed so if you need to contact me please email me or txt me as I don't really know how to make the phone I've borrowed from Sam work and am unlikely to get voicemails until I get my iphone back.
