Everyone said I'd be early. But here I am at 40+1, still waiting. I was born two weeks late, so not really surprised.
I am trying to remind myself that I am not in control and get used to it! haha

Powelly remember there are still lots of wacky pregnancy hormones determining your moods- dont beat yourself up over the way you're feeling. Put in place some good strategies for dealing with the massive emotional rollercoaster that the next few weeks is going to bring, no matter when bub arrives! Try to use this time to do positive things, things that will help you take your mind off it. I splurged on a massage today, felt sooo good
I was trying to analyse everything and was constantly checking for mucus plug, but then I realised that there is not a single sign of being in proper labour that cant happen well beforehand, and when it starts it might just start with a bang! So theres no point analysing all the signs that might just be 'late-pregnancy' signs anyway!
My plan for the rest of today is to
1) get off the internet, its not helping!
2) repack my hospital bag
3) handwash a few extra things I've been given for bub
4) have a nap
5) walk up and down the stairs a few times!
etc etc

and you know, it might just stretch on until induction, and I know thats a bad word around here, but its not the end of the world- it has gotten plenty of babies out safely, and while it does increase the CHANCE of more intervention, nothing is certain anyway. We have great professionals looking after us and no matter what, they are just as determined as we are to have a happy healthy baby at the end of it!
When I was born, I was induced at 42 weeks, and was delivered just with gas, and I have grown up perfectly healthy and happy! (well ok, I have my issues, but I tell you, not one person would suggest that it was because I was induced lol)

anyway, stay strong, enjoy the last few days of having your little one within you, cherish those kicks
