    Smile Things are happening.....

    Hi everyone,
    I saw my OB today for my week 40 assessment and found out that I am already 2 cm dilated . She gave my cervix a stretch and is confident that things should start over the next few days. If nothing happens by Monday she will break my waters to get things moving so either way my baby will be here in the next few days. DH is so excited he hasn't stopped smiling all afternoon.

    Just had to share my new with you all. Its been such a long journey I'm happy to be near the end of this phase .

    congrats on the final count down how exciting. I noticed you're in Darwin are you going through private or public? I gave birth to my DD in the private hospy up there they were fantastic

    Hi Macca, how exciting. I was 2cm dilated at 40 weeks too! And then my Ob broke my waters 3 days later. Hope you get to meet your little one soon!

    How exciting!! I don't want to be pregnant again right now but I do sometimes wish I could go back to those last few days before I gave birth - the anticipation and excitement was.... well exciting!! That feeling that you didn't know when it was going to happenis the best! Best wishes!!!

    Yay! How very exciting for you both!
    I hope all goes well with the birth too1

    I thin k Jas is on to something though - go out now while you still can - you won't be doing it for a while and it will be nice to have that last time together...
    And you never know, you might be able to have a really exciting birth story if your waters break in the theatre

    Good luck!

    Well we are still waiting! I have to go into the hospital in the morning so they can check out bubs heart and to see if I have dilated further. Not sure what to expect. Im starting to think I will need the induction to get things going. I will see how the weekend goes. Fingers crossed he gets a move on on his own though.
