Nearly 10pm and I nearly forgot about this blog again. I blame the pregnancy brain.
Pack my hospital bag with me- YouTube video
I feel pretty rubbish today and I feel bad saying this when I know I totally have every right to, but I am now ready for her arrival and feeling fed up. It's been one huge journey and obviously I am insanely grateful so I don't want to moan when this was a journey I never thought I would be able to live myself, but gosh these final few weeks are tough.
My bump now pushes against my legs when I sit down
Acid reflux is back and worse than ever, that it kept me up most of last night and I had to sleep upright on the sofa
I cannot get comfortable wherever I sit or lie
A bath always sounds relaxing but is more effort than it's worth to get in and out
Braxton hicks are so regular now, that I barely know what it feels like to not have them
Oh and every single time I move, I get braxton hicks, which with the extra fluid is not very comfortable at all, as my tummy goes even tighter than it would have with a normal amount of fluid so that's not a lot of fun!
Period type cramps have started (not that I know if this means anything or not)
Lightening crotch gave me a shock today!
The swelling in my feet, legs and ankles is getting worse
Nausea after eating a meal just ruins the enjoyment of eating anything more than just a snack
Tiredness has hit and I feel like I am back in the first trimester
All in all, as you can tell, I am feeling ready for her to be in my arms! I will stop complaining now, because it makes me feel bad as even though it has been a journey to get here, I know I am so lucky when others still have this as a dream of theirs. Always grateful.
Right, time to cut up some fruit, as that's still my biggest craving! I do wonder if my baby will love fruit when she's bigger, or if she will hate it! Place your bets...
Bump update (36+5)
