EDD is here

So it's finally here, my due date. I know there's a good chance this little girl will hang around in there for another week, but I'm so ready to meet her! I will definitely miss being pregnant though. Other than really bad heartburn and having trouble bending over to put my shoes on, pregnancy hasn't been too bad. I know a lot of women have a lot harder time than I did, so I'm definitely grateful for that. But I'm so ready to meet my baby! I am actually excited for the birth. We are planning a home birth and I'm hoping to have a water birth. My mom was skeptical about a home birth to begin with (which I decided I wanted when I was 26 weeks after I saw the Business of Being Born, I had NO IDEA what my options were!) but now my mom is SO on board it's awesome. I'm only having DH, my mom and the midwives at the birth. Now I just have to wait for labor to begin.

Yay! Keep us updated- I'd love to hear your birth story! I'm planning a home birth and a water birth as well, and had the same skeptical mom (who will be here for my birth too) so I'm hoping she comes around as well as yours has!

Congrats! Hope you're able to stay comfortable in the last few days. Take any many naps as you can - you want to be well rested for the labor.

Make sure you are getting enough magnesium. You may even find a magnesium bath to be relaxing and helpful! Also a good chiropractic adjustment should help with the heartburn
