10TH OCTOBER Update:
Just been to the doctor's for something called "monitores" in spanish; it basically means screening and involved me being hooked up to a monitor for 25 minutes to check the baby's heart beat against contractions. All good in that department.
He also checked the amniotic fluid and said that judging by the amount of fluid in there, and the contractions I am having, baby Leo should be here in one week!!!
Now I have no idea how he can estimate this but it makes me happy and that's the main thing!! Here's hoping he is right.
So, on my way home, I got DH to drive really fast over the speed bumps... and whether he likes it or not, I will have my wicked way with him tonight!!
Bring it on!!

11TH OCTOBER
Oh my goodness, tomorrow is my last day in double digits!! I cannot believe it.... the time has just flown by.
Right now I am doing all the things that are supposed to bring on labour, in the hope that Baby Leo comes on time, or a few days early if he wants, such as pineapple, spicy food, sex (as uncomfortable as it is) and lots of walking. What are other people doing? Anyone got any tips?
My friend swears by sex - she herself went one day early after a week of nightly sessions. She was recommended this by her friend who also went early. So here's hoping...
