Star Wars Baby / 星際大戰寶寶

We only have two appointments left before the due date. One of the midwives checked me one week ago. She said I wasn’t ready to labor. She wants me to do some exercises. One of the exercise was putting my arm on the table, and swing my butt. She said it will help the baby head down more. Another exercise is to squat. It will help me make an easier labor. I followed her suggestion for two weeks. This Wednesday we had another appointment. The midwife checked my cervix. She said it was open about 1 cm. Baby probably will come in the next few days. Eddie and I were so excited. we thought Calie probably will be a Star wars baby. May the 4th indicates “May the force be with you” from Star wars fans. People describe baby delivered on the 4th as a Star Wars baby. Because of that, we walked around Target that evening and looked for a Princess Leia’s outfit for Calie. However, today is May the 4th. Calie seems not interested in being a Star Wars baby 😐

I try to walk and squat more. I know these will help me during the labor. I don’t want to suffer too much pain. So I do whatever I can. Not sure when Calie will want to see us. Eddie kept saying I will be fine. Calie will pop right out. Don’t worry. But I’m seriously living in fear every night and day right now.

卸貨前我們只剩下兩次產檢了，幾周前其中一個助產士內檢，她當時說我還沒有準備要生的感覺，她要我多做一些運動，其中一個運動叫我把手放在桌上，然後搖擺屁股，她說這會幫助寶寶的頭朝下，另外一個運動是深蹲，會幫助我生產，我這兩周都有聽從她的建議做運動，然後這禮拜三我們又有產檢，助產士檢查我的子宮頸，她說我開了一公分，寶寶說不定這幾天就會來報到，Eddie和我都很興奮，我們還以為Calie會是星際大戰寶寶，因為對於星戰迷來說5/4念起來就像是它其中一句名言，所以很多人就形容5/4出生的寶寶是星際大戰寶寶，就因為我們猜她可能是星際大戰寶寶，當天晚上還到賣場去看星際大戰莉亞公主的童裝，不過今天已經是5/4了，看來Calie對成為星際大戰寶寶沒有太大的興趣 😐

我嘗試一直走路和深蹲，我知道這些都會在生產時有所幫助，能減輕一點痛苦都好，所以能多做就多做，現在不確定Calie何時會來報到，Eddie還是那句老話，我會沒事的，Calie會啵的一聲就出現，別擔心，我怎麼可能不害怕，現在每天早晚都嘛活在恐懼中。
