Gettin antsy!

So I am ready to have this baby! But name me one women that is about a week from her due date that isn't. I guess I should be use to it though considering that I pretty much always go over!

I am a mother of 4 almost 5. My first three children we're born in hospitals and were induced labors. My forth child though I went for a natural birth in a birth center. Best decision I ever made! The three I had in the hospital were so stressful that I didn't enjoy laboring and I knew from seeing other women labor that I wanted that special moment. So with my fourth child I finally found a midwife that didn't have to deliver at a hospital and its been wonderful. I go to a midwife group, there's two midwifes that still deliver there and they are such wonderful women.

So here I am 38 weeks and 5 days and I can't wait for her to get here! Our fourth child was the only one I went into natural labor with and was 41 weeks. now the other three I was always induced. My first child I was 41 weeks, second 38 and something, but she had a kidney disorder and they wanted everything in place in case something needed to be done but I was still only 2cm at 38 weeks. My third I was 40 weeks and 4 days. So don't know why I'm getting antsy now cause I know I've got at least another week if not two. I don't want to go to 41 weeks again because the baby had meconium last time and I couldn't have the water birth I wanted so bad! I really want to do that this time and it will break my heart if i don't get to this time. But as long as shes healthy I'll get over it :)
