worried

my baby was supposed to be born 2 weeks ago.On my due date the baby kicked alot.i thought the doctor had just guessed wrong so i stayed home.i am begining to wonder if i should have gone.My 10 year old is very worried.All i can do is sit here becase my belly is HUGE.

Re: worried

Scans are very accurate so your due date was probably right, but babies can go over by 2 weeks plus and can put on a pound a week for the last few weeks so yes you'll get huge! When was the last time you saw your doctor or midwife? You should really be checked at least once a week this late in pregnancy, if you haven't, I'd ring someone tonight and discuss what to do next as two weeks is pretty late.
