The End is in sight -- 7 more weeks to go, technically.
I am still undecided between VBAC and going natural. Part of the reason being it seems impossible to hire the birth support I want given my due date is so close to the Xmas and New Year holidays, and no one I called so far can be really on call for me for the entire duration from 37 weeks onwards. The second consideration is with the amount of medical monitoring I may need when at the hospital with a VBAC, I will likely be tied to a machine and my ability to move around freely and achieve a drugless natural birth may be compromised as well. I don't really want to go through the pain and exhaustion just to end up with an emergency C-section in the end. So anyway, the debate in my head in still going on.
The pregnancy is certainly progressing like the book. The kicks are strong and keeps me awake at night more often than not, and moving around in a true whale like state is becoming increasingly difficult. A relaxed digestive system brings out the side effect of what is called "flatulence" - a new vocabulary for me, but essentially is the embarrassing farting that happens around the clock now. The worst part is with Jack-Jack hanging around me, whenever I fart, he will also help make the sound effect "boooo...." for me, making my every attempt to hide the embarrassing symptom rendered useless.
