This week has been quite rough. My pelvic issues are not getting better, they are getting much worse so I'm on almost full bed rest and crutches 95% of the time. As much as I am not ready to have this baby yet, I am SO ready to not be pregnant anymore. Looking after Leo while in this much pain sucks for both of us. Thank God for G and MIL (my two saviours), they have been amazing.
We've spent this week checking things off our "To Do" list and it's quite exciting to see everything coming together. I can't wait until I can sit back knowing there is nothing left to do except give birth :) Hopefully we are fully organised before he decides to arrive.
Total weight gain: +6-7kg from pre-pregnancy weight
Maternity clothes?: Just pjs this week, perks of being house bound!
Stretch marks?: As you can see my old ones are still pretty faint
Sleep: Not much sleeping being done at the moment
Best moment this week: Accepting a counter offer we made on a house! Eeek, very grown up :)
Miss Anything?: I miss not being in constant pain
Movement: Getting a bit cramped now it seems. He is still very active though
Food cravings: None
Anything making you queasy or sick: I actually vomited this week and have had lots of nausea. Lovely
Gender: Boy
Labour Signs: A fair few early labour signs, but nothing that sets of warning bells
Symptoms: Pelvic instability, leg cramps at night, lots of pressure on my cervix. No heartburn!! So relieved, he must have dropped
Belly Button in or out?: Outie all the way!
Engagement ring on or off?: On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm still happy despite everything. I'll be happier still when he is here haha
Looking forward to: Labour! I had such an amazing response from people after I shared Leo's birth story it has really renewed my faith in my body and my ability to birth this baby
