So you enjoyed pregnancy . But now it’s business time.
Two weeks away from your due date you are on high alert. You have checked the main road, air and sea routes to the hospital. This could happen at any moment.

As in, ANY moment.
This is especially difficult if you are for whatever reason separated from your partner: "WHAT IF SHE'S HAVING A BABY IN A LIFT SOMEWHERE SHIT SHIT SHIT..."
Your several bags are constantly packed to leave at a moment's notice. In them are snacks (that you won't eat), a birth plan (which you won't read) and, weirdly, baby clothes that you will need.

In reality of course, nothing dramatic happens. Instead there's a whole bunch of waiting and waiting.
Only five percent of babies arrive on their due date. Many first babies are fashionably late. All of them are unpredictable.
