The thought of giving birth used to scare me, but now I can hardly contain my excitement! We had our five month scan a few weeks ago now, and ever since we were told that the baby is by all measures doing great, I have just been so excited! To be honest with you I actually think that I have been too excited if anything, and I really need to calm down! I am worried that I am going to give myself high blood pressure or something, or somehow harm the baby, because I am literally running round the house screaming with excitement every so often!

I decided that I would take some very light exercise classes and I am also going to classes to learn some breathing techniques. These are of course to aid with the birth of the child, but I think I am going to need to control my breathing long before I reach labour! I have always been an excitable person, but now is just not the time. Luckily for me my husband is a very calm person, and he knows just how to calm me down, he has had to do it for many years now!

Now that I am 25 weeks pregnant there is not too long to go, but it is still the small matter of about three months! I am going to have to breathe, stretch and sleep myself through the next three months!
