40 Weeks. It’s that
magical day in your pregnancy when you have supposedly reached the end. For forty weeks (and possibly longer) you
have been charting, measuring, counting and ultimately, waiting. So by 40 weeks of pregnancy the waiting
should be over. The baby should be
here. The dues have been paid.
