Entering pregnancy week 39 and baby is still baking! I was born at 38 weeks but looks like baby Mia is enjoying her time in the belly! 🙂 What’s happening this week? Baby’s crown to rump length is 36-37 cm or 14.2-14.6 inches. Baby weighs about 3.2 kg or 7 pounds. Baby’s skin is pink […]

Pregnancy is the ultimate miracle of life happening within a woman, it’s a deep, meaningful, wondrous phenomenon. Unlike facebook – which is shallow by definition – it’s about the illusion of friendship – you can collect hundreds or thousands of so called “friends” without the need of ever seeing them face to face, or calling, […]

Shortly after your baby’s birth, the cord will be cut (in a natural childbirth you wait for the cord to stop pulsating before cutting it) and you will deliver the placenta. PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS: The third stage is from the birth of your baby until the delivery of the membranes (the amniotic bag that surrounded your […]

With 37 pregnancy weeks completed my baby is full term now!!!  It felt like forever to get to this point and now I could give birth in any moment! I feel my baby hiccuping a lot, wriggling and twisting but I feel I am still unaware of what my life will look like after she […]

Here I am in week 37 and I feel the baby behaving differently! Instead of being quiet and having hiccups 2-3 times a day, she almost lost the hiccups and is wriggling around much more. I also feel her as if she descended slightly. I think she might be arriving in two weeks time, which […]

At my prenatal classes we’ve learnt about the first stage of labor: latent and active, and the second stage of labor. We will now move on to pushing your baby out! PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS: The need to push is increasing as the baby’s head descends. Contractions might be further apart. There might be some blood expelled and bowel movements during […]

As my pregnancy and the joys of the pregnant growing belly are nearing to an end I am preparing for labor and delivery. TYPES OF DELIVERIES Quite early on I became aware of the fact that “each mode of delivery may be retained in emotional or cellular memory, influencing personality and actions throughout lifetime” thanks to […]

I’m entering week 36 of pregnancy!!! Hurray! I even found one source which states that after week 35 of pregnancy, baby is considered full term. Wow! All the other publications I’ve read consider the baby to be full term at 37 weeks but it’s great to know that she’s almost ready! So what’s going on with […]

I was wondering when my baby will come when I stumbled upon a fun labor prediction quiz at justmommies. Here are my results: Get your bags packed early just in case you need them. Make sure your partner has a phone available when he’s away because this baby just might come early. We predict your baby […]

C-sections scare me. The very thought of somebody knocking me out and cutting my abdomen gives me the chills. An emergency c-section is one thing and if it’s supposed to save mine or my baby’s life then bring it on but what I just don’t understand is a c-section because you can (bribe the doctor […]
