Relax, Mommy, I will come soon

Well, the delivery of important cargo is delayed. The estimated delivery date came... two weeks ago. You are still pregnant, and your baby still enjoys her cozy cottage. True, it is only you who are worried, she is quite calm and happy. Most babies have their own schedule when it comes to childbirth: less than 5 percent are actually born on time.

Despite the fact that it is quite normal for a child to be late, the doctor will especially closely monitor you this week. To make sure that everything is in order, you will most likely be done an ultrasound scan and doppler.

When your late baby is born, it’s likely that her skin will be dry, cracked, flaky or wrinkled. She dreamed of appearing in front of you smooth and rosy-cheeked, but the protective cheese-like vernix had washed off her skin a couple of weeks ago. A belated newborn will also have longer nails, perhaps longer hair and no lanugo. You probably won’t even be surprised if she says: “Hi, Mom!” Well, really, she could even learn to talk during this time! ?

One thing is certain: whenever a baby decides to be born, you will meet this little bundle of joy with open arms. Happy meeting!
