Musings on Pregnancy
So I was due on Monday, and despite all my attempts to induce myself.. still I'm pregnant.
Most everyone knows tomorrow is my birthday, and one of my biggest fears is having the baby on my birthday. Why?? Well, the entire family will have birthdays within a 2 week span, so I feel it is important that we all have our own DAY. My sister, Leslie's birthday is the 13th and we never really felt like we had to share a birthday. Granted my parents are very enthusiastic about birthdays and generally make a big big deal out of it. But, if I have to share a birthday with my child will it make my own birthday disappear? I'm I being a self-centered bitch? Should I just relax b/c the baby will come when it is time and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it?
I have an OB appointment and non-stress test at 1, so we'll see what the doctor wants to do. He has been pretty good about not wanting to induce with pitocin, maybe he will let me go a couple of more days. I'm going all unmedicated this time! I even hired a doula and I'm soooooo excited about having an awesome birth!
