    Today I am forty weeks pregnant*. What would you do on your due date? I'm not the type to sit around and wait. So follow along on my day as I go to a doctor appointment, teach a class, try to exercise the baby out, and make an Amish style supper. Who knows how this day will end!???
    Enjoy!
    *If you're watching this on the day I upload it, I am actually 40 weeks and 5 days pregnant.

    It’s totally ok to not want the membrane sweep! Haha baby will come when he wants to come. And fun fact. It’s baby that usually tells mom’s body when he’s ready to come, the baby will release a hormone telling mom’s body all his organs are done cooking. Haha

    Hi Megan. Praying for a safe delivery. Please don't feel pressured into interventions to stimulate labor! Your midwife needs to explain why it's being recommended. In Gods time. This is not your first so your body is primed. I know your excited but know you are surrounded with love and prayers. Your daughter is such a sweetie ! God bless! ☺️

      @@MeganFoxUnlocked I was 2 weeks late with each one. What I liked was no drugs are involved at all. When they strip your membrane the doctor sticks his or her hand in the vaginal canal and works your cervix loose basically. Usually you go into labor within less than 24 hrs.

    So they say 40 weeks bc it's an easy rounded number. But most often than not babies are born at 41 weeks and 1 day. It's so hard when they tell you that date bc you're so ready by then and can't imagine having to wait another 8 days!
    So my due date story is that I was pregnant with 2 coworkers and we we're all due on a Monday two weeks apart (M, Me, C). They others were having their second, I was having my first. So C ends up delievering a week early on Sunday. I find out that evening and jokingly tell her not fair bc I was next, so that's it, I'm having a C-section tomorrow. Well turns out that next day (yes exactly at 41+1) I did have an emergency C-section. Oops! Guess I should have held my tongue.
