Statistically proven only 5% expectant mum-to-be laboured on their estimated due date. Unfortunately I am not one of those figure. No sign of show or labour yet, therefore finger-crossed the long awaiting moment be here soon. I feel the baby head is lower (3/5) and in the right position for labour rather than his/her back is tilted on my right hand side. Probably, its run in my family, my sisters' first babies were overdued between 5-12 days.
I should try increasing oxytocin level to induce labour naturally....eating fresh pineapple, stimulating nipples, having sex, etc.??? Mid-wife appoinment Thursday, 17th February; then if nothing happen yet, she will book me in for hospital induction latest by 23rd February as full term pregnancy can't stretch beyond 42 weeks. Please wish me luck and smooth labour hopefully!

Blooming, tired and exhausted
Taking 2 weeks annual leave, follow by 52 weeks maternity leave...hiphip hoorah..... officially lady of leisure until the baby born...estimated due date 12/02/2011. Therefore, put my feet up and relax.
Gained 7 kgs so far but still blooming like a wheel-barrow in front. Prescribed (yesterday) hand support (splints) for both hands to protect wrist and tingling palms caused by Carpal Tunnel since 6 weeks ago.
Feeling the strain and reached full term now and can go into labour any time, very scary and excited. Need to write birth plan soon, today I supposed.
Packed hospital bags for baby and myself, fitted car seat, baby moses basket, baby push-chair (travel system), most baby essential - clothes, caps, jacket, babygros, sleepsuits, bodysuits, bibs, blankets, fleece, bathing support tub, feeding and steriliser steamer, breast pump, little ones daily necessities and grooming kits, soft toys, baby night projector, bedding, etc....can't believe how much a tiny baby need :-)
