Week 39

Almost there, phew!!
The time when we first learnt about the baby seems so far away now. I was lucky to have a smooth pregnancy (no cravings, no sickness and no complications at all) and was joking around saying "it's not actually 9 months you carry the baby in your womb, only the last two months count when the baby goes beyond 1 kilo or so". But now I definitely can say that the last few weeks felt like a century!! No wonder why you hear your mums say so.
I was trying to think of similar experiences (such as taking a test you've studied really hard or the last few miles of along trip) but each lacks at least one dimension.
Anxiety, excitement and fear.. Mostly for the unknown..
When will the labour start? How will I understand? Will it be very painful? Will there be any complications? Is the baby healthy? Whom does he look like? and so on..
You only have a view on the possibilities and need to prepare yourself for everything. As you cannot change it all you need to do is being calm and thinking positive:)
