Today is day 3 of my maternity leave and there's still no signs of baby wanting to come out. Just went for checkup yesterday and gynae announced that my cervix is dilating very slow and steadily and only reaching 1.5cm...just 0.5cm improvement from last week. It's really slow and steady. Baby is already in good birthing position like since 1 month ago but things are still not happening! After much discussion, we decided that we'll set a deadline to see if things are going to happen over this week. If not, we've decided that we'll go ahead and try to induce the baby on next monday. By then baby will almost be in full term and all ready for the big big world.

It's a rather tiring waiting game this time round, with friends, relatives and even my hubby asking me why this time round it's taking so long for the baby to come out. Well, I wouldn't know the answer, but one thing for sure, we're all getting rather impatient. Better to get over and done with than continuing to wait and not knowing when things will happen.

I think for now, I'll just enjoy these last few days of peace and quiet before the baby comes and turn the whole house into a battlefield again for the 3rd time. Crossing my fingers that the labour will be fast, easy and smooth without the need for any epidural. Pray pray pray..
