When you go see your ob-gyn doctor for the first time during pregnancy - he/she would estimate the approximate day for delivery. As it always happens with estimates - it may be right - but also it may be wrong.
So, an estimate due date for Karapuz was set 10/15/10. So happy due day to me!
As an update - I saw a doctor today and everything looked progressing toward labor... We are in a new and very exciting waiting game as of today.
What is going on with Karapuz during Week 40? According to my source:

What is going on with Karapuz during Week 40? According to my source:
"Your baby weighs about 7.5lb (3.4kg) and its total length is 21.5in (48cm); from crown to rump baby measures at 37-38cm or 14¾-15¼. Your baby is about as big as its going to get. It now fills your uterus and has very little room to move. Before your baby is born, bilirubin is transferred easily across the placenta from the uterus to the maternal circulation. Bilirubin is a breakdown product from red blood cells; through this process your body is able to get rid of it from the baby. Once your baby is born and the umbilical cord is clamped, the baby is on its own to handle the bilirubin produced in its own body. Scientists believe once baby is ready to be born, it sends out a series of biochemical and hormonal signals that indicate its time. These cause the mother's body to trigger a series of biochemical and hormonal changes which will ultimately culminate in labor."
Stay tuned:-)
