Week 38


How far along:38 weeks


Baby bump:



What's happening this week: finished work this week, so glad tom exhausted. 

At 38+2 I had my hospital appointment for the stretch and sweep.
I had the usual blood pressure and urine checks then the Dr did the the s&s. 
It was uncomfortable but not overly painful. The Dr said I was 2cm dilated so hoping it gets things moving.
Had bits of spotting.
Feel a bit sore and heavy almost like the start of a period.
Stu and I went for a walk around the park which started tightenings and then short contractions.
Had a few more randomly throughout the day but nothing strong and consistent. Waters haven't gone either.


Sleep: nanna naps, seem to have got into a stupid routine of sleeping four hours when I got robed then up and tired again around 6am. 

Best moment: seeing all my family and going to my Auntie and Uncles wedding. 


Movement: he definitely has slowed down. Still having movements I can see but not as many.

Food cravings / aversions: 


Symptoms: heartburn and constipation. Losing the plug (show) since the stretch and sweep.

I've started with pins and needles in my hands when I was workings and when I'm sleeping through the night. Has caused me to drop things I'm holding :-(

Emotions: I get really upset how people can be so rude with comments like 'wow you're massive, omg you look like a whale, Jesus Christ and fuck me how many you got in there and can I take a pic to show my friend how freaky you look.!  Have to stay calm because I do want to say and what's your reason for being fat or some other rude comment back. But instead I save it all and tell Stu who is so supportive and gives me a cuddle when I cry.

What I miss: really fancied a drink at the wedding. 

What I'm looking forward to: hopefully meeting my lil man in the next week.

How the family is doing: pestering me with comments like 'is he coming, any signs, and the most stupid one when will he come? Erm I'll just get my crystal ball. As you can tell I'm very tired and sarcy now.

Purchases: just a light dressing gown for the hospital.
