'It's worth reading up about caesareans, so you're prepared should one be necessary.' Not trying to worry me then there Mr BBC! What is there to read up on? It's major surgery that could save my life in event of an emergency... been there, done that this year!

'Babies born at this stage are small, but generally healthy, though they may need some special care at first. Most will be able to co-ordinate sucking and swallowing directly at the breast.' There is NO WAY this one'll ever be small!!

'You may have noticed Braxton-Hicks contractions by now – 'practice' contractions that differ from labour because they are not usually painful and don't get longer and more intense over time.' Oh yes, but oddly, I'm getting less of them. Maybe my body has had enough practice? lol

'It's not just your baby who's grown these past eight months – your uterus has, too. Before pregnancy it weighed 40 grams, (about one and a quarter ounces) and now it's a whopping 800 grams or about two pounds.' Er, intereseting but TMI - too much information!
