Here a few ways you know you're in the very last stretch of pregnancy, like days-
1. You purposely hop or jump as you leave the bathroom hoping your water breaks.
2. Any sign of abdominal pains makes you freeze with excitement.
3. Your mind tells you the baby is coming in the next few hours because the laundry and dishes are done.
4. You spend endless time bouncing on the exercise ball.
5. You repack your hospital bag twice a day.
6. You take a nap at 6pm because you think the baby might come in the night.
7. Daily you google "when to go to the hospital."
8. Getting dressed in the morning makes you angry because you only have four shirts that fit.
9. You've tried raspberry tea, cleaning the floor, acupuncture, sex, walking, essential oils, yoga, and massages to induce labor.
10. You rehearse the role of a "big brother" with your toddler every chance you get.
Someone told me this the other day and I wish I would have had this mindset earlier. Tell yourself that pregnancy last 42 weeks. That way you're not a crazy person like me, the weeks leading up to your due date!
