According to my Baby Center Pregnancy Calculator. my pregnancy journey is 39 weeks and 1 day. Marius is already full time but I don’t know what’s taking him this long?!? I can’t wait to give birth to my baby. Kuya, Dico, Sangko and Ate are all excited. They can’t wait for their bunso na talaga. Husband is as excited as well. Actually, it’s quite a mystery to me.. even after 4 kids, my excitement for the coming one is still the same, even the husband! I guess that’s one of the many reasons why pregnancy is that long. It prepares the family physically, emotionally and financially.. and speaking of..
Pregnancy Journey Last Lap
Physically, my body is sooo ready! I feel so bloated! My hips are already complaining! I need to give birth really really soon! I am having a hard time sleeping. I can’t sleep, lying down is not an option. I wish I have the talent of sleeping while sitting! And my breast! It’s already leaking! I smelled like milk most of the day.
Emotionally, hellooo! Obviously, I am super excited. I still think about the other baby but it’s not a lump anymore. We’re lucky we still have Marius.. our baby Marius!
Financially, husband says we’re good. wooohooo! This will be my most expensive delivery. I’ll give birth at Cardinal Santos. I will be posting my delivery experience, how much to give birth at Cardinal Santos and about my OB. BUT FIRST!! I NEED TO GIVE BIRTH!
Honestly though, there’s a tiny part of me that’s scared. It’s been 6 years since I give birth.. I do not know if my body still remembers how to. And I can’t or I don’t want to remember the pain of labor.. or the first few hours after giving birth. But whether I like it or not, it is bound to happen and it would be better if it happens really soon! Yeah like tonight or tomorrow or on February 18 (para ka birthday ng Lola ko). I want my pregnancy journey to end really soon. I can’t wait for my breastfeeding journey to start!
Who can relate sa waiting in vain? Nakakainip ang last lap of pregnancy di ba?

February 18, 2016 at 8:30 amCant wait for baby Marius. With my now six-month old baby, I gave birth more than one week ahead of schedule. I thought I was just having some false contraction then until there was blood na and the pain kept on repeating every five-ten minutes. Though, before I left for the hospital, tinuruan ko pa ang mga boys ko sa assignments nila. Hahaha.

February 18, 2016 at 10:08 amHi mummy! 🙂 congratulations in advance and have a safe delivery. And yes, the last few weeks and days feel longer than the entire pregnancy. I remember still walking in the mall at 40weeks and then on the roofdeck 3 days after. 🙂

February 18, 2016 at 7:26 pmI haven’t experienced yet waiting in vain for child birth but based on your blog, it seems dreadful! But patience is a virtue and it’ll be all worth it. ☺

February 19, 2016 at 10:04 amAt some point I thought having a 3rd child would be ideal but wala lang nakakatamad na mag buntis… XD

February 19, 2016 at 10:51 pmI can relate mommy 🙂 The last stretch talaga feels the slowest to the point that you’re so over being pregnant na and you just want to see your baby. Hang in there 🙂
Melisa Sanchez says
February 23, 2016 at 2:56 pmHaha I feel you mommy, pag due date na at ayaw pang lumabas nakaka thrill at kung kaylan gusto mo nang lumabas ang baby mo ayaw nya pa. But it’s okay. Nakaka excite naman yan mommy. God bless and congrats in advance 🙂
Mommy Pehpot says
