I had an uneventful pregnancy. My first and only child had three different
due dates! - Past Due Date Baby Takes Its Toll

at night. Being that this was my first pregnancy, I had a hard time
figuring out if the contractions were real or just Braxton-Hicks
contractions. - Hospital Staff Unsupportive During Labor

person,
so when no baby arrived on my EDD date and still no sign two weeks later, I
was
becoming very irritable and anxious.

and of course I was clueless about what to expect, even though I had read
