Just a little encouragement

...for myself as much as anyone else. If you're in the February group and you're still pregnant, this is just a little reminder from me to stop and take a big breath. No one in human history was ever pregnant forever. Delivery day is on its way, in its time. It's gonna happen.

I have to remind myself this, especially if I've opened this app too much and all I see are women posting their newborn/delivery photos and updates. I'm happy for them. I'm ready to join them!

Mucus plug, bloody show, leaking colostrum, even dilation has NO indication of a labor timeline. Could be days, hours, weeks Obsessing about these factors makes me tired, so I'll have to just mark them as milestones in my experience without placing expectations on them. In the meantime, baby is comfy, eating/sleeping as she likes, with a plan from the doctor to be induced at 41 weeks if I wind up going that long. The plan is in place, I don't have to think about it every 5 minutes. I'll have to just have peace about that and enjoy what I can in these last few days.

Anybody else practicing some day-to-day radical acceptance these days?
