You must feel like every 'mum-to-be', the excitement of actually seeing what he/she looks like etc etc. Good luck.

I hope he moves soon for you so you can get more comfortable. Try to wait for Paul to get home though.

Only it was a leap year so Tuesday 13 March 1968 was, in fact, Tuesday 12 March 1968.
Son, second and lastborn, was four weeks early which was A Good Thing as they had been threatening me with a 10lb baby [no scans in those days, just guesses]. As it was he was 7lb 14oz and that was four weeks early?
Your bubby will turn up when he is ready. He probably is far too comfortable where he is at the moment and cannot be bothered to make the effort to stir himself and enter the world.
But he will, and I have already booked my place to be his honorary grandma!
wow, i'm so pleased he was early for you! And fancy your daughter turning up on her due date, i thought that never happened!

My second was a week early I was booked in for induction due to health concerns but when I arrived they discovered my cervix was already fully open so told me to go home and if I hadn't gone into labour through the night to go back in the morning for my waters to be broken which I did and was in heavy labour within minutes.

I chose before ... thinking of all those choc's
I went in on the 11th April to be induced and have what they called a controlled birth (with the possibility of a C section) spent the whole of the 12th in labour and finally they got him out on the 13th then spent Easter in hospital
However with the second my dates where for the 26th May, but I fell down the stairs on the 21st May, he decided it was too rocky in there and was born 40 mins later
Thankfully no harm done
Thank god everything was ok after you fell down the stairs! Heehee far to rocky in there for him then, lol!

She told my other half that she was sure I had started labour then and it was my hormones causing me to be soooooo emotional. She was right, he was born 4 hours after the phone call!! I know you'll be very uncomfortable at the moment but believe me the you will get even less rest after your new little one arrives!!

You must have the patience of a saint, i hope i can bear to wait that long if i have to! Not too emotional yet, although had an awful night, Paul was snoring sooo loud, acid reflux, felt really sick, a bit hot and cold so couldn't sleep so did end up with a few tears
