Hi all November Moms

Me posting again after a longggg time.. hope you all are doing gr8. Simmi, Avi, Vindhya, Arshiya.. have been reading all your posts .. you gals r keeping the board active, thanks so much.
My update - its my last week at work this one, just wrapping up after a hectic 2 weeks. Am in week 37 now and Doc insisted that I take time off and store my energy for D-Day, not to mention my Mom who's been after me to get off work ever since she got here ! So, I caved in to everyone. Baby's head down and I feel him/her really low, but head's not engaged yet.. so no progress. Kind of depressing to here the same status every time at doc's visit,I do try and walk twice a day.. though have to say to Arshiya, 2 hrs a day sounds like superwoman to me! :) You sure must be very fit to be able to do that. I had been measuring small for the past few weeks, but measured fine this week.. so all of you who are measuring small, pl. dont worry.. my Doc told me that fundal measurement at this stage is not a very accurate measure of baby's well-being. As long as you feel movements regularly, the little ones are doing just fine.
So sorry to read about Deep, was not aware that something like this could happen at such a later stage. Deep.. you are a brave girl, I pray for you everyday.. God will surely give you the strength to go through this ordeal and soon bless you with a bouncing baby.
We all are so close to D-Day now.. I want to wish everyone a very happy and safe delivery, please do not be nervous and take things as they come.. we are all about to take on one of the most blessed roles on earth.. that of a Mom, and I'm sure we all will make such good ones!

Do take care of yourselves and REST
Vandana Avi replied. Hey Vandana, it surely has been a while since we've heard from you....
Glad to hear that you are doing great..
Your mom and doc are right, you do need to conserve all your energy for the big day and you did the right thing by listening to them... :)

My babies's head isn't engaged either and like Simmi, my due date is next week ... I guess our babies are comfortable where they are... :)
Hang in there..we are all almost there.

Thanks for the reassuring words about the fundal height...it is quite frustrating..
and like you, I am praying that everyone have safe, fast, smooth, happy delieveries...

Take care and have fun.... Keep in touch... Vindhya replied. Hi Vandana,

Nice to hear that you finally decided to take off from work. If not for doctor and mom's advice, I guess you would have worked till 22nd :) Don't over exert yourself. Now, enjoy your few days with mom before your baby arrives.

Since you are feeling the baby's head really low, I am sure he/she will get engaged soon. Hope your next doctor's appointment will be more enjoyable with some progress on your side.

Thanks for your wishes and good luck to you too.

Vindhya Simmi replied. HI Vandana. Lovely to hear from u n that all is progressing well with the baby. My due date is next week and still the head is not engaged, so u have a while to go. This is my last week at work too, tmw is the final day. Today though my feet have swollen up much more than usual and even hurting, so really hoping get some rest before the d-day. Rest assured that u have made the right choice of starting ur leave a little while before.

I too am sincerely wishing all nov mums to have healthy and bouncing babies. My massi always says, wish u a painfree labour.......bless!!

Happy resting!
Simmi
