    I started mine today. Yay!!!!!!

    I'm 37 weeks today (by LMP) or 38 weeks on Sunday (per the early scans). I was probably ready to finish up a week ago but as I had committed to finishing yesterday and my OB could see no reason for me to finish early (despite having huge sore feet) I worked right through as planned. Not bad for a 42 yo who got told by the first OB that I'd be almost certainly off work from 30 weeks due to age factors.
