When I ended up going 16 days "late" I used it as an opportunity to educate people that a late baby, even a post dates baby, doesn't need to be induced without medical indication. Thanks for linking up your post with the Tuesday Baby Link Up! I'm featuring it on our pinterest board.

Mostly because when I went to 41 weeks with my first, I was harassed by daily calls in that last couple weeks just to see how I was feeling, did I think the baby would come soon, or worst: the very impersonal "baby yet?" text message. As if I might have had the baby, but not told anyone...<br /><br />I find that the people who really push you for a date are the ones with a birthday around the same time, and are hopeful the babe might be born on their special day. I always tell them that if it is then they can make the first donation to the college fund!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07700298164227841647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859305239867927993.post-52467347752383112792012-12-18T21:12:51.149-06:002012-12-18T21:12:51.149-06:00Thanks Melissa!

My friends and family have been mostly very supportive (and if not, they know me well enough to be quiet, lol) of our plans for a water birth at home.

Thank you for reminding me I'm not alone in this. I'm only about 8 weeks, so since I'm not really showing yet, I haven't had this come up, but I will be ready when I do! We're using midwives only with a home water birth and because of reactions from family, I'll probably be keeping that to myself!<br /><br />Thank you again.<br />MelissaMelissa Hardigree Pilsnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689947407890973460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859305239867927993.post-71380321679516428432012-12-18T17:50:38.426-06:002012-12-18T17:50:38.426-06:00Some mamas are microwaves, some are crock pots.
