Carmen, it sounds you're definitely under pressure for this little one to meet the world - you're both probably suffering spotlight anxiety! I guess it's too late to tell everybody that oops, you made a mistake, you're not really due for another three weeks!

BTW, is your doctor usually so inclined to make unhelpful comments?!! Even if your bubs is a biggun, you've probably read all of the posts on BB about big bubs that get born without a single graze to mum - both early and late, so take your dr's comments with a grain of salt! (Easier said than done!)

I've told my exuberant nearests and dearests that if I go overdue and they ring me every day I'm going to take the phone off the hook - it's not like I'm going to forget to tell them!! (Oh, mum, sorry, forgot to tell you that you're a grandmother, silly me...). I don't think so!!

Suse, you're so right... I should consider responding the same way you did. I think it's so annoying if people just ring up (well, some of them actually show up at my house) hoping to see the baby. So, you can imagine... here, I am impatient but on top of that, annoyed! I don't think I can refrain myself from spreading the good news the moment I give birth, I think I will just ring up everyone!!!

My doctor does not always make unnecessary comment, but she did mention that I might be at risk for an emergency c-section because my baby is large considering that I am petite. This of course isn't very pleasing to my ear, but right now, I don't think I mind so much what she said. I will just cross my fingers hoping to meet my baby RRRRREEEEAAAAAALLLLLLL soooooon.
