Counting Down to D-Day

The D-Day is very near....unless the baby decides to come out earlier, her birthday should be July 10th. I am again bought the suggestion of c-sect. In my last checkup, the gynae again recommended that I go for c-sect. He said 9 out of 10 babies are born early. Only 1 baby is born on the due date and past due date. If I wait for the c-sect to be on the due date, he is very sure I will end up with an emergency c-sect. And of course, he reminded me of my age. With all the discomfort I have lately, I am also looking forward to have the baby early. Sleeping is difficult, walking/standing up is difficult and the constipation is making it even worse. On the bright side, I do get preferred service whenever I go. When I go for grocery, the supermarket will send me a 'chaperon' to unload the grocery to the cashier counter and then load the grocery into my car. When I go to the bank, I get priority service (i.e. get to jump queue) and the teller will come to me instead of me going to the teller's counter.

My tummy is so so low that everywhere I go, strangers will come to me and said 'Your baby is down' or 'It is a boy?' I will just smiled and nod my head on the first question. As for the second question, a number of them were surprised to hear that it is a girl. Another question I get quite often is 'You can still drive?'. I am surprised with that question. There is still plenty of space between my tummy and the steering wheel.
