Today I am forty weeks pregnant*. What would you do on your due date? I'm not the type to sit around and wait. So follow along on my day as I go to a doctor appointment, teach a class, try to exercise the baby out, and make an Amish style supper. Who knows how this day will end!???
Enjoy!

My sister used to live in Ephrata.She now lives in Akron.I love visiting out there.Its so beautiful.The Cloister and the Green Dragon is so fun.And I really love the yard sales..
It’s totally ok to not want the membrane sweep! Haha baby will come when he wants to come. And fun fact. It’s baby that usually tells mom’s body when he’s ready to come, the baby will release a hormone telling mom’s body all his organs are done cooking. Haha
I bet you are the most calming presence in a labor and delivery room! Thanks for the info!
Megan Fox Unlocked haha I try to be!!!
Watching some of your older videos...I just love when you play the piano in the background! Love watching you❤️
First time watching. That little girl is just pure joy! So sweet 😊😊 many blessings!
I hope you have your baby soon. You’re incredible taking that long walk. May your baby be born healthy and strong. Good luck Megan. Thanks for sharing.
When I grew up in Maine, my Grandma had one of those cellar doors that I would slide down.
Praying for you,that everything goes well.
You are one awesome mom to go jogging! At that point in pregnancy a brisk walk was pushing it but we'll do anything to get those babies out naturally! Bless you
I am exactly 40 weeks and 5 days as well today! And still waiting! I'm set to be induced Tuesday... not sure how a feel about that yet. Hoping your appointment goes well today! Come on babies!!
Oh good! We're in this together! Keep me updated!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked I will! :-)
My youngest daughter was born on her due date. That was yesterday fifteen years ago. It was on St. Patrick's day and she tells everyone that she was born on a special day. Her brother and sister were two and three weeks early. I am praying that you have an easy labour x
Hi Megan can't believe I'm watching this a year later but it was bazare cause when you said the time it was the same time here lol in Wales England
Praying for you and your baby. Remember that God is in control.
Loved your little girl singing. Precious.
Love your videos! Sip and sketch sounds fun!! Really like the music in this video👍
Awe, Meagan your lil girl is so cute!💕 Hope you have a safe and good delivery!
Safe and easy delivery,God bless you!
Yes relax and wait! It is so great when baby gets to decide when it will come... I am praying for a safe delivery for both of you!
Also... your little sister is darling! ♡♡♡ hehe
What good advice!
Hey, a fellow Jordan Page follower!! I think she is super fun. You’re correct about the Mom Summit being put on by Mormons.
Hi Megan. Praying for a safe delivery. Please don't feel pressured into interventions to stimulate labor! Your midwife needs to explain why it's being recommended. In Gods time. This is not your first so your body is primed. I know your excited but know you are surrounded with love and prayers. Your daughter is such a sweetie ! God bless! ☺️
I agree. Today was the day I was supposed to get my membranes stripped, but we didn't do it then! I really want to give my body as much time as possible to go into labor on its own!
😅 I did end up getting mine stripped with Jaxon. It was right around thanksgiving and I was really wanting him to get here before! 😂 and I think it sped it up abit. Within 24 hours maybe? It’s not a guarantee that it works though.
So it worked for you? My mom had it done and it did nothing. Hard to tell though!
How you can walk so fast and for so long while you are 40 weeks pregnant?! I’m 29 weeks and my belly gets hard and tight to prevent me from walking at all
I had to have my membranes stripped with 2 of my kids over 40 yrs ago. It worked both times, but the first time I had no idea what it was till they did it. Wow lol I sure was surprised. Good luck!!
So it's something that's always been an option? Interesting.
@@MeganFoxUnlocked I was 2 weeks late with each one. What I liked was no drugs are involved at all. When they strip your membrane the doctor sticks his or her hand in the vaginal canal and works your cervix loose basically. Usually you go into labor within less than 24 hrs.
Yup I feel you, a few of my friends always went early and before me with both my girls . 😑 but the up side to that was I got to go see their baby’s then! And that was always fun . But it would nice to be that person to go early once. Lol.
Always worth the wait tho! God has your baby’s birthday and time all planned out! Saying a prayer for you. ❤️
That's what I keep telling myself! And thank-you for the prayer!
I am a little envious of the girls in your mini term class ;) That looks like so much fun! Praying for a good, safe delivery!
Yes, I wish we got to do this when WE were in school!
Cute little girly. I will be watching for the new baby. Love the video. You are so Beautiful Prayers for you and your baby. God Bless. Hug's 💞 😘
Wow, thank-you!
Praying for a safe and easy delivery for you and baby! 💜🙂
I loved this one!!!!!! Sorry I didn’t comment before because I saw this video right when you posted it, but life just got in the way that day. I’m so excited about your baby coming soon! And yes, one of my friends had her baby on my due date and I had mine one month and a half earlier
Aww, well thanks for remembering to come back!
Your daughter is adorable... So glad you got a Little time to yourself... Can't wait to hear when baby comes... Blessings
Your daughter is ADORABLE ❤️ Praying your little guy has arrived since your filming of this vlog..All in God's timing..Enjoy your blessings🤗
Yes, all in God's timing. A healthy little boy will be worth the wait!
My due date always came and went, and friends always has their babies before me! Prayers coming your way for a swift, safe delivery soon! Your daughter is adorable!💖
Thank-you so much!
Do you have a video or could you make a video explaining your head covering and like how to use it and stories about it and people's comments in town about it? Stuff like that...
I remember being 4 days overdue when my sister in law had her baby early. It was hard for me to be happy for her in that moment...
Awww, I believe it!
God bless your and your family.Have a safe delivery
I had my membrane swept with both pregnancies and it didn’t work. I went in to labor by myself both time the following week. I think your body will go into labor when it need to.
Awwww, every time I see a new video of yours I’m hoping. 😂😂😂 You look amazing and I’m so excited for you.
👍❤️
Lol, I've never made it to my due date😂 I've been the friend who has their baby on another friend's due date though😊 Praying for an easy labor and quick recovery for you!
Lucky you! And thanks!
Brave move skipping the sweep! I have two kids and the sweep made my last labor more painful! I’m skipping it with this baby :) Currently prepping a roast because of your dinner clip. I felt like I could smell that through the screen!
Good advice. I actually turned it down again today. I want to see if my body will start on its own!
Fascinating to watch the sip and sketch class. Looks like your sister has artistic talent too. I've heard to Starbucks book is an interesting read-may need to add to my list.
Prayers!
Good Luck! Hope you have a safe delivery very soon. Ha! Try to relax cause you're gonna need the rest. Lol God Bless!
I love pot roast! God bless you and your growing family. Sandy
I'm the friend that goes early before due date. haha..except my 1st one was a day late.
Great vlog, I love Lititz park 😍 my husband and I lived there our first year of marriage .
Oh my gosh you were right by my mom's house. Lol
Hi megan i love your channel ❤️ i used to live in lancaster but moved to lake charla louisiana a couple months know . I had my baby in the litis hospital they where so nice . I wish i had known your channel before 😱
So glad you found me! Do you have family close by?
Megan Fox Unlocked mmm... well my family lives 8 hrs away we dont see each other that often !🤷🏻♀️
Your daughter is so cute!! And yes, pregnancy brain is a thing! I'm 16 weeks and already have stuff like this happen to me. 😋 My cousin Shanda is in your class.
Oh congrats! You will have the cutest babies!
Thoughts and prayers !
Anyway due dates are only approximate but it's more or less within 2 weeks!❤️ safe delivery!
I always had my babies early so I was actually the one having babies on other people's due dates
Yes, other women had their baby on my due dates! So frustrating!! My second child was due Sept. 5th, but I had him Sept. 16th. My third child was due Mar. 5th, but I had him Mar. 18th. Hang in there! I know how you feel!
Good to know I'm not the only one!
Haha you were right by my brothers business (the smile building)
Hope your babe comes soon!
Really? Dimitri owns that? Awesome!
Megan Fox Unlocked well he doesn’t own the warehouse, he rents. But yea his business has been there for years now.
My due date is Friday the 22nd 😁👍🏻can’t wait to see your little baby and all the fun newborn videos!!!
Prayers for you as well!
Yes, I don't think I would've went for membrane sweep either and I feel your pain! I was 10 days late! Decided I wad going to be pg the rest of my life! I see Davinci Resolve! We be sisters! Lol
I didn't get it done today then either. 10 Days, well I'm only 5 days late so halfway to there. And yes, that's what I use!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked well, best of wishes! Hope all goes well and soon!
Recognize that OB office! That's where I went with my second! Hope baby comes soon for ya!
Megan do you have any breastfeeding tips? Do you nurse on demand or on a schedule?
I remember at one check-up at my OB/Gyn (somehow more discomfort than other checks), the dr. casually mentioned, "I stripped your membranes..." - say WHAT?! 😲 WHEN did we discuss that, and WHEN did you ask if I wanted that?! Grrr.
All the best to you, dear.
That's crazy! Good story though!
I was 16 days late with my fifth son and I refused to be started. Labor was an hour and a half when he finally came! He was 16 months younger than the 4th one and I think they were just too close. Memories were too fresh in other words. :) Go with what you want! That was 14 yrs ago and now I'm pregnant with my 6th at 46 yrs old!!!!
Wow! Praying for a safe delivery for you too! You must be a very fit and healthy 46 year old! You can do it!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked I wish I was very fit and healthy. Lol. I've struggled with thyroid issues ever since child #5. Lost 3 (unplanned) pregnancies before this one. Now I sit on the couch a lot while the boys do the work. :(
I am so jealous of your bump.. Thats how big I was at 6 months, At 37wks I had my daughter and she was 8 and 1/2 pounds.
I cried today, I felt so fat. Must be pregnancy hormones. So thank-you for the compliment. I probably don't know how good I have it!
Bubs will come when he’s ready. All our babies came on ‘our’ due date. Not the doctors calculations. According to them I was nearly 2 weeks overdue
Well, I thought I was super regular so the due date should have been easy to figure out. I guess I just don't make babies in 9 months. Everyone is different, right?
It’s hard to stay patient😊My first one was two weeks late
40 weeks is just the estimate, 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after can be pretty normal. My 3 babies came 7 to 10 days before my due date, so my babies just took less time to cook.
My aunt gave birth to all 6 of her children around 43 to 44 weeks. They were around 10 to 12 pounds and she had all natural births. (Yes, that was allowed in Europe a couple decades ago...mayne its still the same.)
Also my midwife let me know that the 2nd babies labour could happen in half the time. I didnt expect her to be spot on, and ended up having a surprise at home delivery (because I didnt realize how far dilated I had become and expected to have hours of labour left based on my last delivery) so leave sooner than later! It's scary having a surprise home birth
Wow, were you alone? I hope you had someone there! That sounds SO scary! I will definitely try to be careful!
Hello Megan, your little girl is an angel," so precious." Is that your only sibling, she favors you. Will pray you have a smooth delivery. See you next time. Linda from Arkansas 😇 😇 💖 💖
Nope. I have three sisters and a brother. Thanks!
On a lighter note, my MIL accidentally was speeding things up way back when by building a snowman (totally possible over here today). Someone else decorated for a birthday party... blew up balloons... by mouth... baby day! Happened to her twice that way. 😁
These are definitely creative ideas! Love it!
No membrane stripping = you go mama!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I actually refused ALL internal exams my last pregnancy. It was fantastic. I'd do it again.
Jessica Derstine we’ll internal exams are important they check and make sure everything is ok down there
My sister in law who was due 2 weeks after me, breezed into the hospital 12 hours after me and had her baby 20 before me. 😳
This is crazy!! What a story!
Wow
So they say 40 weeks bc it's an easy rounded number. But most often than not babies are born at 41 weeks and 1 day. It's so hard when they tell you that date bc you're so ready by then and can't imagine having to wait another 8 days!
So my due date story is that I was pregnant with 2 coworkers and we we're all due on a Monday two weeks apart (M, Me, C). They others were having their second, I was having my first. So C ends up delievering a week early on Sunday. I find out that evening and jokingly tell her not fair bc I was next, so that's it, I'm having a C-section tomorrow. Well turns out that next day (yes exactly at 41+1) I did have an emergency C-section. Oops! Guess I should have held my tongue.
What is the recipe for the casserole slow cook meal?
Tomato Pie Cafe! Lititz is my hometown, but i live in East Africa now. Thanks for giving me a quick taste of my hometown. 😊
Oh wow! East Africa! Sounds so exotic, but I'm sure you face a whole different set of struggles over there!
That food looked delicious.
It was! They never disappoint!
Mormons did the summit! I watch She's in her Apron who spoke this year.
Good to know! Yes, I really like her. I listened to probably 70% of the speakers.
I'm 38 weeks 5 days pregnant today !!
Aww, hope your last couple weeks go well too!
Just wondering how your daughters name is spelt. It’s a beautiful name
you look so tiny at 40 weeks. My singleton I carried forward so I was big fast, my sec preg. was twins & I was small till 3rd tri then went BIG fast
Yes, everyone grows at different rates I'm learning!
Yeah you're SO going into labor tonight or VERY soon. LOL (watch me be wrong *4 days later*)
I had my boys 35 and 33 years ago. What is membrane stripping? and why? I guess I need to ask my daughter in law.
Yeah, I wasn't sure either. Apparently it could possibly trigger your body into going into labor on it's own? But they say it won't work if your body isn't ready. I decided NOT to do it. At least for now.
I have roast in my instant pot. Yummmmmm
Hi Megan, I totally agree with you! I would definitely wait until the baby is ready. I see so many women who really rush it. I’m in Tennessee and I can’t wait to see spring!! We have had so much rain. Thanks for sharing and your dinner looks delicious!
I turned down getting mine stripped at 40 weeks as well
Awww did u paint your walls in the kitchen ??
I painted them when we move in 5 years ago. But I've been thinking about repainting them.
I love that you are playing the piano in the last 2 vlogs!
Phillipians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Saying and memorizing this scripture will give you the calm peace you need to deliver this baby, I have used it before! I will be having #7 in a couple months. Blessings! :)
Yes! I recited Psalm 139 over and over again with my first daughter too! It helped a lot! Wow, if you can raise 7, I can make it through two! What an encouragement!
I never heard of stripping membranes. Sounds barbaric to me!
That's what I thought too! Glad I didn't do it then!
It is. And it HURTS.
👍
The smaller I was the larger the baby was. 9.6 and 9.10!
WOW!! That's crazy!
