Results - I got the all clear

Sigh of relief... I received the message on tuesday that my extended glucose tests have come back all clear & I do not have gestational diabetes. So grateful for that. I think that would have really put my plans for a natural birth out as there would be much higher a chance they would want to induce me at a certain point. So baby is all healthy and I am feeling good only 9 weeks to go now to my guesstimated due date and 4 weeks till I finish up work at 35 weeks! which is 2 weeks earlier than initially planned but I am getting tired easily now and standing on my feet and lifting continuously is getting too hard. I think me and bub will be much better off this way. Now we are finally moved I can enjoy the downhill run to meet this little person. I am not anxious about the birth at all just going to go with the flow trust my body won't let me down. Start working on my birth preferences plan now, I think the main thing for me is having space & being free to choose how I want things to go. For Paul and I to have special bonding time just us and baby in the first few hours after the birth is very important to me. I want to be without the pressure of expectations of family and friends we will introduce our new little bub to everyone when we feel ready too - most likely we will want to do this straight away, but I don't want to tie Us to a time frame. I am less anxious when I feel in control of my situation.
