Week 37 of pregnancy

Time seem to fly, can't believe it's already 37 weeks, my baby is 'officially' full term, only 3 more weeks (more or less) to go. Emotionally, I want to meet my baby sooner, and get rid of the back pain, carpal tunnel, leg cramps....anything that comes in the third trimester out the way, but on the other hand, I don't feel I'm ready yet. My hospital bag is not packed, and although have briefly read the stages of labour, still feel a bit not sure what will happen. I guess it's just the uncertainty that cause the worries.

Have jotted down some notes from Pregnancy without pounds to remind me of an easy labour:

- Let go of the idea that labour is painful
- Deep Breath, this will give oxygen to the baby
- Breath out to RELAX during pain
- Connect to your body, listen to your body
- Each contraction is one step closer to meeting my baby
- Don't strain your face when pushing
- Don't have any expectation (eg. natural birth), nothing but delivering a healthy baby matters
- Leave your dignity on the way into the labour room and pick it up when you're out, midwives/ doctors have seen it all
