Hey wait a minute!!

I know that I am back tracking here and I have made several posts stating how sick I am of being pregnant and wish it was all over, but I think I have changed my mind (it is a womans prerogative after all!). It just dawned on me today that this will definately be my last pregnancy (I really mean it this time!). After the baby is born I will never feel the kicks and flutters again, I won’t see my tummy ripple from side to side when the baby moves and I won’t feel it respond to voices, music and loud noises…EVER!

The upside is I won’t suffer from heartburn, morning (or all day) sickness, pelivic pain caused by SPD (Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction) again, and I won’t need my crutches! But actually I think I’ll miss the other things more. Also when again will I ever be able to eat as much junk as I want and use the excuse that I am eating for two!

At my last midwifes appointment I was told that it was likely that my consultant would agree to induce labour 1 week early, but I was intending to try to push that forward another week so that baby would actually be here in 3 weeks time. However I decided today that I will just leave things as they are and enjoy this experience for the last time. After all it really is a miracle of nature, I have another wee person inside me, I think I can put up with a wee bit of pain and discomfort when the rewards are so great!
