Month 9

This is the month you focus on your relationship with your own powers

Your child 36 – 40 weeks

YOUR BABY NOW

Your baby is a hefty six to eight pounds, and measures between eighteen and twenty-two inches. As she becomes more crowded, you may feel her move around less. Your baby continues to grow and mature, and the lungs are nearly fully developed. Fingernails and toenails are developing and the external ears are formed. The beginnings of teeth are also forming. During this month, your baby gains about half a pound a week and usually drops into a head-down position and rests lower in your abdomen. Your breathing should be easier once the baby drops, but you’ll have to urinate more often because of the pressing on your bladder. Swelling of the ankles and feet may increase. Your cervix will open up (dilate) and thin out (efface) as it prepares for birth. You may be very uncomfortable because of the pressure and weight of the baby. Be sure to rest often.

Did you know that if you’re having a girl, you’re holding your future grandkids in your womb? Women are born with all their eggs, thus your future granddaughter or grandson and their life potential is already within you. Isn’t that a miraculous legacy?

The right to be one with the miraculous

The time has come, the tools learned, preparation is on its way. Being one with the “Creator” requires integrity and inner wisdom. We stand by our decisions, we call upon our heightened sense of intuition, and we accept that all that will be will be exactly as it is supposed to be. The Universe makes no mistakes, it does not give us more then we can handle. By embracing our role as “creators,” we consciously participate in bringing the miracle into life.
