Hello!...*waves* I have now past the 37 weeks mark which would mean that if I were to deliver now, baby would be considered "mature". It does get very confusing doesnt it for people who have not been pregnant before. All the while, everyone would think humans are pregnant for 9 months and you are supposed to deliver ON the due date. But it is not entirely true.
For one, humans are actually pregnant for 40 weeks and not 9 months. If it was assumed that there are 4 weeks in a month, that would mean that pregnancy is actually 10 months long and not 9. And the "estimated" due date (EDD) is actually the 40th week of the pregnancy, so quite a big percentage of pregnancies do not even reach the 40th week mark. I could potentially deliver from the 37th week onwards.
What's my feeling now?
Although it is pretty frightening to be thinking of life after baby arrives. So many uncertainties, i dont even know what to expect. Life will be different, that's for sure. But I just refuse to think that far yet, for now, all my mind is set on is the delivery day itself. Will i be able to stand the pain? When will i deliver? will i go over due? will i make a fool out of myself? :P So many questions.
Sure i will miss having her inside me and being with me every minute of the day, but i sure would look forward to ACTUALLY seeing her for real! Who will she look like? Will she be a good baby? So many questions! I could almost "interact" with her already now. I can already tell her pattern of activities, what time is she most active. What she will do at what time of the day. Her favourite activity so far is tapping her foot (or feet). If i were to rub her foot when she does that, she would stop and then after a while do it again. As if she's playing with me (or so i like to think)
