Week 36

How far along: 36 weeks

Baby bump:

What's happening this week: we visited the consultant at the hospital and she measured the baby with her hands she said he is around 6.5lb, his head is down but not engaged but apparently after your first baby can engage and move back easily. She said she will do a stretch and sweep at 38+5 but said to come in the Friday which will be 38+2. It doesn't always get labour started but Dr said with it being my third it likely will. So my baby could be here in 2 weeks :-) 

Sleep: is horrendous! I thought I was struggling before but now I can't breathe on my sides or propped up on my back. I'm uncomfy sitting too. Oh my lord I feel like I'm being crushed and beaten with the movements.

 

Best moment: date night, a lovely meal out and then the cinema. 

getting a good nights sleep even one day makes me feel better. 

Movement: can be so painful now in my rib and hip still and lots of dagger/stabbing pains down there they can increase when walking, standing for a while (good excuse to avoid washing up) and when I'm on my birthing ball.

Food cravings / aversions: really don't fancy anything I am getting constant heartburn. 

Symptoms: heartburn! Almost all day and night. 

Can't get comfy to sleep

So so exhausted, I cry with random emotion but also from the pain. The bump is so heavy it's been hurting my knees and ankles, stretching my tummy really painful and sitting in a comfy position is a task. The end few weeks are just for moaning lol.

Emotions: can still cry at random moments 

What I miss: being able to get out of bed easily

What I'm looking forward to: my eldest sons birthday

How the family is doing: just getting on with things now, kids are enjoying school holidays. 

Purchases: non, I think we have everything
