I am still pregnant awaiting the arrival of the newest member of our family. I am trying to keep busy and keep organised. Nesting and preparing for baby can keep your mind off the pregnancy. It can be hard when people expect babies to arrive on time or even before
40 weeks. My first child arrived 3 days over my EDD and my boys 14 and 7 days respectively.
If you are comfortable and your health is fine its safe to go overdue by weeks. EDD is not an exact science and all babies seem to have their own plans!
Though frustrating waiting for bub to decide to arrive, take advantage of the time with your partner and family and friends. Babies are easier to care for in utero. It does become harder to go out with a newborn.
Though well meaning it can be annoying to get calls asking if you have had baby every day. Don't be afraid to leave the phone and let the answering machine answer. Also stress may interfere in you going into labour. Enjoy your rest.
