Other than my sinuses I'm feeling pretty good. I have gotten used to how to lay with the rib issue but at the same time not always getting comfortable. Rib is getting a bit better, I've been keeping my brace on just like the nurse said. Also been putting icy hot patches on it which has helped. Just wishing I could get more sleep, though I know that's impossible even taking the tylenol PM just like midwife said to, lol.
Getting a bit anxious though. But tonight when I had laid down for a nap I actually felt the shape of baby's foot.
Aw.... it's those little moments that make it real, and so precious. It's perfectly normal for you to be a little anxious now, as the time draws nearer. Others have said, and it's true, these last weeks when you are sleeping erratically are just preparing you for waking with the baby. Trying to train you to catch your sleep when you can.
Ask your midwife about taking small doses of melatonin to help you sleep. I took it with my last pregnancy (1mg only) and it did help. So far, there is no evidence of adverse effects on the baby, but you would want to double check with your midwife.
Sweet dreams, hon. Keeping you in my thoughts.
). Didn't even examine me. I been there about an hour and felt like pushing the whole time! I am still not sure if she figured this was my third labour so I should know what I was doing, If she thought it would be a long time yet or if she just generally didn't care....
Hiya MrsDL
Glad all is goood apart from the sleeping patterns
With my first, my water broke about an hour before I had her.
With my son it was 2mins after I got to the hospital and 15minutes later he was here...(That was a very close call
With my last I was at the hospital for a while but the midwife just sat in the corner writing her notes
So in the end I said bugger this and gave an experimental little push and there went my water. 5mins later she was here. Seems the more i have the faster I go... lol
21 days to go wowsers. Time sure does fly.
Big hugs
Wow, once you go you really go, lol.
*hugs back*
Starting to get anxious, then again I start my maternity leave next wednesday. Boss wasn't so happy about short notice as I told him saturday...But the midwives expected me to be able to work right up until but with the sinuses and severe lack of sleep one of them decided she wanted me to go at 38 weeks but I decided to be nice and give work a couple extra days...
, you have loads of support which is great.
Well glad your doing what is best for you.
You and baby come first
Depending on where you work over here, you get to leave work six weeks early.
As for the anxiety. I had it with all three. More so with the last than anything lol.
Stay positive
You get to hold your baby soon. How exciting is that??????
for all the mothers of the AH.
) I was there by 7 something saturday night and finally at 1243am on monday morning they took her out by C-section. Then again I'm the crazy woman who had 8 minute contractions! (the teaching people at that hospital loved me)
