39 weeks & 2 days

Well, here I am, due in 5 days…

DaddyB (and a few other people) were convinced I would give birth the weekend just gone, but as you can see, I havent! My personal feelings are that I will go into labour at some point on my due date, with the baby born the day after. But who really knows lol?!

Had some major twinges on Saturday night, but they turned out to be absolutely nothing other than baby girl having a really good rummage in my belly!

Sleeping is proving difficult at the moment – am having some major heartburn, am still very breathless as this baby is not engaged yet, am all bunged up with hayfever, still have the pelvic pain when laid down, and generally just find it hard to get comfortable at all with a belly like a beach ball! Add into this the trepidation I have about labour – given that I now know what to expect and how difficult it can be – sleeping is not that easy at all these days!

I got a fair amount of food cooked and in the freezer last week, so just have a few bits to finish off this week and Ill be happy. I was reflecting how much more relaxed I am about getting it done this time around – I remember when I was pregnant with Oren I felt it essential to have it all done by the time I was 38 weeks, while this time Im just doing it bit by bit and am still quite calm about finishing bits off this week! I cant help but think its because my subconscious knows that I have the time to do it!
