» Feature Writer Angela England - I want to quickin this up

In response to I want to quickin this up posted by brendapreg:


Great encouragement Brenda. You're right that babies will come when they are ready.

In fact - recent research suggests it is actually a hormone produced in the baby's brain that triggers labor receptors in the mother so really - the old saying "Baby will come when he's ready" is actually right on the dot!

Premature births have SO MANY risks and complications as well of long-lasting problems that women should heave a huge sigh of relief when they reach week 40 and then smile and enjoy their last few days. :-)

I suggest to all my students that they give themselves some extra pampering the last couple weeks. A pregnancy massage is great way to treat yourself at week 39. And a pedicure when you hit the big 4-0 is an awesome way to reward yourself for your patience! :-)

Plus I always like my toes to look good when the midwife comes. :-D
