Here I am on my official due date, August 8th, at 40 weeks pregnant. I was awakened by early labor contractions at 3:15 this morning. They started out eight to ten minutes apart and have gradually increased in length. I was in Northport when they began but am at home now in Brooklyn with my husband and mom who are taking turns timing my contractions. My midwife has a hunch this could go into tomorrow so I’ll continue to labor at home and call her if my water breaks or if the contractions become super close.
My belly on my due date, 8/8/10
I feel very fortunate and excited that this process is unfolding organically, as it should. I could very well have a baby in my arms by tomorrow! More to come…
