It is such an emotionally charged time. You know what, you can do anything you set your mind to. My MW told me at 35 weeks that my bub would be huge and I would have to have a c-sect. She upset me so much and really affected my confidence. I had a beautiful vaginal birth, no epi, no gas no tearing. So I showed her.

Your body is perfectly primed to birth this baby. You have nothing to be afraid of, try to welcome labour, it can be a wonderful empowering experience.

Hey and if it makes you feel any better my mum had me at 2 weeks overdue, I was 9lb3oz and she is only 4ft 11 for goodness sake. She did it without drugs.

The female body is a wonderous thing. From now on try to forget all the crap going on around you and get ready to meet your baby.
