smittenbyuI am grateful that I made it to 40 weeks of pregnancy and am grateful that the practice I went/go to does not induce until 41st week (unless there's some medical urgency) and I am glad that D came the night/morning/afternoon that the doctor I preferred was on duty.
People began looking tired and frustrated on my behalf when I hit 37 weeks. Their questions often were, "oh you must be so ready to get the little one out!?" or "she/he is taking her/his time in there, huh?!" But really I enjoyed my pregnancy. Of course, mine had absolutely no complications. There were days/nights of discomfort. But I never expected it to be easy.
I am/was fortunate and so I enjoyed a smooth pregnancy. But even amongst friends who had relatively smooth pregnancy, they were in such a rush.
All this came up because of this article on NPR:

I feel doesn't that defy the whole purpose of being predestined if we are choosing the time and date?! crazy...
