Things That Annoy You:
As you progress with your pregnancy you are running short of time. You are irritated with literally everybody – people who touch your stomach, people who offer advice, humorous and entertaining people, interfering neighbor or gossipy colleagues. Don’t lose your head, keep your cool, take a deep breath and remind yourself that though these people are insensitive they are harmless.
Note: You have heard about cases where the babies are born before they reach the hospital. There is no need to worry. These are rare cases. The average labor period runs from twelve to fourteen hours. Most women will have plenty of time to reach the hospital. You can however adopt safety measures –
- Car should be maintained in good condition
- The gas tank should be full
- Plan the route in advance
- And have enough cash on hand so that you can at least take a taxi if your car spoils in the middle.
