Week 36

Baby is getting lower and lower and lower. The pressure on my pelvis is increasing and I feel like I need a wee all the time. I can, however, breath a bit easier and can fit a bit more food in too (probably not such a good thing is it!)

Having good and bad days with walking still. Last time round the painful walking was caused by the swelling in my feet, ankles and legs. I have managed to avoid that this time. No swelling at all, anywhere. Not even in my fingers. Still have my wedding ring on. I've also escaped the constipation this time too. What us women go through eh?!

Mum came over on Sunday again and took Stefan off my hands on Monday. A welcome relief. Running about after him is near on impossible now. I just can't keep up, or pick him up. It was a good thing she was here actually as the workmen came to make a start on the patio so I could see to them without having to chase Stefan around the garden, avoiding some of the more 'fasinating' tools they had bought with them....

Work in progress.































Saw the midwife on Wednesday. All is ok. Blood pressure back to normal and baby's heartbeat was loud and clear. I enquired about having some physio if my pelvis is still out of sync after I have had baby. I didn't really get a straight answer, but she seemed to think it would all pop itself back in the right place afterwards.

Stefan has recovered from his ear infection and fever well, although we have all developed colds this week. Feel ok, just exhausted through no sleep. Have had some horrible headaches with it too. Came home from work early on Friday and went to bed for the afternoon. I've only got three more days to do at work before I finish for my maternity leave. Roll on next week!
