Implantation date: Fri, October 14th ,2011
Due date: Tue, June 26th ,2012
Still to go:

66 days to go 

OMG seems like an eternity and at the same time so close.... this week has been a bit hard, I think hormones were playing up a little and I am getting increasingly paranoid something might go wrong at the last minute... I even started a baby movements monitoring excel spreadsheet as i sometimes am to busy and fail to notice movement and then think baby is dead..... and a chart of my increasing tummy circumference (92 cm this week) as I feel i am not gaining any weight (would i ever imagined this might have become a concern of mine.....)

I am also increasingly disappointed and concerned by the service provided by the NHS, as i am not happy at all with the fact that i have not seen my "real" midwife for 4 months (why would i want to when i have even seen the obstetrician once!!!!) .. it seems they rely a lot on the stats... "97% of the times all goes well, so why should you worry" is the attitude i am faced with. 

I supposed it does do work when you are faced with the numbers they have to deal with; but what they really forget is the emotions that come with this experience, the uncertainty of it all. I have never had babies before, and never been in close contact with women that have, so i really miss emotional support, you jut need someone to tell you what you are going through is normal, and mostly i just want someone scientifically and medically trained to tell me baby is all right and not a middle age WW micro van hippy telling me to smell flowers.....

But enough ranting.... thanks to the internet and wasting a lot of time you can find all of the information you need and definitely more emotional support that you ever need to ...

this is what happens in week 30 of pregnancy:

Your baby now measures a little more than 39cm from crown to toe. Her growth in terms of her length will soon slow down but she will continue to gain weight until she's born. She probably weighs about 1.3kg at this stage. Your baby's lungs and digestive tract are almost fully developed. She continues to open and shut her eyes. She can probably see what's going on inside your uterus (womb), tell light from dark and even track a light source. If you shine a light on your stomach, your baby may move her head to follow the light or even reach out to touch the moving glow. your baby now has eyebrows and can bat her eyelashes! About a litre of amniotic fluid now surrounds your baby, but that volume decreases as she gets bigger and has less room in your uterus. As you and your baby continue to grow, don't be alarmed if you feel breathless, as if you can't get enough air. It's just your uterus pressing against your diaphragm. 

And it should look something like this, but i am not sure baby is turned exactly that way as yesterday evening we freakly felt something like fingers or toes through the tummy......
