Love. This. #Repost @birthwrightuk • • • • • I feel like a time bomb Waiting to blow When will this baby come? How the fuck do I know? I'm not made of clockwork I'm not a machine I'm a human, who's pregnant I'm elephantine! Due dates are misleading In fact, they're a fallacy A delusion, at best They are not actuality My baby isn't 'late' I'm not 'overdue' I'm pregnant with a baby Who has not yet past through I'm not a fortune teller I don't have a wizard's wand I can't magic up this baby How else can I respond? I am healthy and strong And my baby is well Please, stop your asking Only time will tell We're not in a rush We're not in a hurry We've tried all the tricks And yes, we've had curry! We'll let you know When the baby arrives Until then, please Just get on with your lives! By Helen 40+8 weeks pregnant and fed up with the pressure of constantly being asked if I'd had my baby yet! FYI: She arrived safe and well 2 days later, weighing just shy of 10lbs and covered in glorious vernix 💕 All the apples on an apple tree don't ripen and fall on the same day.... and neither do babies. You're not like all the other apples 🍏 Most babies arrive somewhere between weeks 37 and 42. The average is somewhere around 41.5 weeks... Patience is paramount my friends. Your baby will be born when your baby is ready. Top top: don't share your 'due date'... if you can help it... Avoid unnecessary stress and pressure: be more Meghan and opt for a 'due window...' "We're expecting the baby towards the end of May..." And if you've already told people - tell them you've had another scan and they got the dates wrong! "They reckon another 2 weeks, at least..." Everyone believes a machine.... And then you can relax and enjoy those precious few weeks whilst your baby finishes cooking - in their own time. #bunintheoven #pregnancyannouncement #hypnobirthingteacher #hypnobirthing #duedate #duedatetoday #stillpregnant #40weeks #thirdtrimester #babyshower #baby #apple #mother #pregnancyoga #pregnantbelly #pregnancydiary #mumtobe #relax #bumpandbabyclub #babybump #babyfashion #babiesofinsta #mummy #mummybloggers #mummybloggersuk #antenatalclass #midwife #doula (at Rochester, Medway) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwDDcFlg6PG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kq9hstnebjjw
