Baby Update at 39 Weeks
I am now 39 weeks and 6 days – the due date is tomorrow!
Having said that, no new developments towards her arrival. I am just big, uncomfortable, aching, tired and swollen. My feet look like trotters. I need to put them up to help with the swelling, but also go for walks to help kick-start labour. Can’t win.
I discovered a stretch mark on my belly yesterday. I was hoping I’d get away scott free, but no. I guess I don’t have much to complain about as some women have lots. It’ll fade anyway I’ve been told.
Will have a cardiotocography (CTG) on Wednesday Friday if she hasn’t arrived by then. That’s to monitor the baby and see where things are up to and perhaps get a date for when I’ll be induced. Good news is that they won’t let me go over 10 days overdue, so I will definitely have this baby by next Friday (or on the way to having her).
I really hope they don’t leave it too late as I’m worried she may no longer fit through, if you know what I mean. That and I don’t want to miss the Green Day concert on December 18!
39 weeks 6 days pregnant, one day before due date

Not fun but getting that baby out safe feels like the biggest achievement ever and the end result is so worth it.
You will be wonderful parents, just can’t wait until we get to see the baby pictures!

Aw, Chickie jr. come already! We can’t wait to meet you. Hon, I think you’ll be OK…I mean how much bigger could she get in one day right? :)

Hey y’all.
Chickie is in labour! It’s been over 12 hours now and bubs is taking her time. Epidural and hormones have been administered to try speed it up but midwife says she may not come tonight.
I’m in txt with her hubby, and he says they’re doing ok, just very tired.

And she’s here!
Abigail Joyce delivered by c section at around 1.45 am, she was 8 lb 3. Lots of hair and chubby cheeks :]
Baby and mum are doing well, going to see them this afternoon.
