This should be my last bump photo... fingers crossed anyway! I reached my due date yesterday which was exciting. I know only 5% of first time babies are born on their due date but I couldn't help but think maybe something will happen! It didn't...
I saw my midwife who performed a stretch and sweep, and I was 2cm dilated!!! Which got me very excited but she was quick to tell me that it could still be a while before anything happens. I was given instructions to stay active so have been blitzing the house in between dragging Grant out for walks and bouncing on my gym ball!
I think I was pretty anxious about yesterday as I hardly slept on Thursday night. Last night I managed to sleep all the way through from 1.30am to 7.30am which I think is the best night's sleep I've had for weeks. Let's hope that this continues until after the baby is born so that I'm as rested as possible in preparation for the sleep deprivation I'm sure is to come!
Good luck Alice, such an exciting time! The waiting game can be hard (I played it for 2.5 weeks post due date), particularly when everyone asks if you have had any news - like you wouldn't tell them if you had! Bounce on that ball like crazy and have some curry and a pineapple :)
