My due date is the 23rd and I am already freaking out cause my midwife refused to do a sweep at 38 weeks (even though I was 1cm dilated like my friend was when she got her sweep, which lead to a perfectly healthy baby and delivery might I add) On top of the not being about to walk, sit or lay down without being in constant pain from pressure on my hips, pelvis and back, I refuse to be in this much pain on Christmas day or in the hospital on Christmas day and to top it all off, my mother in law (who just lost her husband to suicide a few months ago) has ready booked her flight to come see the baby. She gets here on the 20th and has to leave the day after Christmas and it kills me I can't promise she will get to see her grandbaby in time! My father in laws birthday was also Christmas day so it's going to be a rough one this year and I was really hoping having the baby here for Christmas would help us all...
