Fear not, we have compiled a list of 12 signs that labour is just around the corner, hopefully...
People keep saying, ‘Oh, you’re still pregnant’
And you keep replying, ‘Yes. Yes I am.’
You feel like you are about to explode
Seriously, you are starting to wonder if there are two in there and one is just hiding really, really well!
You dropped about a week ago
You can definitely breathe a lot easier, but this endless need to keep going to the toilet is starting to wear a bit thin...
Your hospital bag is waiting patiently by the stairs
It’s been there for at least a week now, but you definitely felt a twinge last Friday, right?!
You have been Googling ‘signs of labour’ incessantly
You know, just in case you’ve missed something and labour has already started. You never know like...
You’ve also been Googling ‘how to bring on labour’
Just in case your little one needs a helping hand.
You keep saying ‘hurry up little one...’
But it’s not in sweet and gentle tone anymore...
You are panicking about giving birth
You have spent the last nine months blissfully putting the fact that you have to push a person out of you to the back of your mind. Not anymore.
You are sore in places you didn’t know you could get sore in
Most notably your nether regions...
You have just gone on maternity leave
No, your baby won’t let you enjoy a week or two to relax, whatever gave you that illusion...?!
You’ve already had a little freak out when you saw your bloody show
Your nerves.
You put a picture of yourself up on Facebook with the caption: ‘Really ready to see this baby...'
While secretly thinking, “I’ve done my time...”
You have passed your due date
Over a week ago.
