"Could give birth very soon"

Last weekend, I visited my OB for my bi-monthly check-up. And since I'm already in my 37th week this weekend, I have to visit her every week starting this coming Saturday. Gosh! time flies so fast indeed... I received my weekly babycenter email today and the first sentence says:

"At the end of this week, you're going to reach an important pregnancy milestone: Your baby will be considered full term! That means you could give birth very soon."

Did I read it right? "Could give birth very soon". Actually they said that babies between 37 and 42 weeks are considered full-term; a baby born before 37 weeks is pre-term and after 42 is post-term. This gives me more reasons to feel excited and scared at the same time. Imagining what it would be like in the labor room, doing breath exercises. Will I have a long and painful labor or will I have a smooth and easy one? Will I be able to keep my finesse and not shout in pain and curse people while I'm in the delivery room with all those doctors, nurses and other pregnant women around me? When is the right time to say "Give me that epidural, NOW!"? Will I get to the hospital on time? I remember my husband talking to our baby one time, telling him to break my waterbag early in the morning if he plans to come out on a weekday so it won't be too traffic and we can arrive on time in the hospital. Let's just hope baby Andre listen's to his daddy.

In movies they always show you how fast and easy it is to give birth. I know mine won't be as cinematic but whatever happens in the delivery room, I hope and pray that I'll be able to deliver Andre normally without any complications or defects. I also hope that the cabinet and crib that we ordered to be custom made will be finished on time.
