@@tia32blue oh okay. My husband is from Algeria and they have a smaller variety of dates (Deglet Nour) that are not as sweet as the big super sweet Medjool dates that are common in US groceries. I guess I was just thinking about the Nour ones.
I am currently 29 weeks and its very difficult pregnancy for me. I dont even want to wait till my due date. I want to get my baby out as soon as he is ready ❤
I totally understand, dear, but what I would tell you is, try to speak what you want to see. I know it’s difficult but when you begin to speak what you want to see, you’ll see how easy it’ll get until delivery. for example when you wake up you speak to your body and tell your body, my body is meant to do this. I would do this. pray about it? You would see how easy it will be both labour and delivery and when your labour starts or even right now you begin to speak to your body and say my body is able, I will do this my labor will be short. all this is mostly about mindset. The more you think it is difficult the more difficult it gets but the more you begin to speak ease, the more you see that your body can handle it. I wish you a very easy and safe delivery.
My baby came at 37 weeks too, I didn't do anything but was very active during my pregnancy, I used to walk a lot. Wasn't even ready and didn't know I was in labor 😂 I am a first time mom
Currently 35 weeks. Would love him to come early but his big sister has a concert in 3 weeks and she'd be so sad if I missed it. These last few weeks are something else. Can't wait to get my nose and body back.
I am currently 38 weeks 3 days I’m over it!! Can’t walk or stand for too long. I’m too tired to do anything such as house chores it’s honestly draining. So i will try these things you said to try. Thank you 😊 and congratulations 🎊 🎉

@@AfricanMoonlightTalesbyNaya thank you so much. The main one is how painful it might be and how it prolongs labour because the body is being forced to do what it is supposed to do naturally.
