Feeling: Better. If I actually wrote this post on time (Monday), I would have said differently...but right now I feel okay. The anxiety of being in this wedding/not knowing when labor will hit has been keeping me up every single night. But as of today, I think I'll make it...at least until the rehearsal dinner tomorrow night. So, yay! I made it! Standing in heels all day is a little nerve-wracking, but I'm just going to pretend that this is all normal. Mind over matter!
Symptoms:
-HUGE belly.
-Acne has moved to my face
- Itchy belly has gotten itchier
- Still getting period cramps in my back.
-Feeling pressure...even though I am not any more dilated.
Weight: up 1 this week. 28 pounds gained...looks like I'll hit the 30 mark.
What I Miss: Standing up for long periods of time without feeling tired. Walking up a hill without feeling winded. Bending over easily. Sleeping on my back all night.
Doctor Appointment: Yesterday. Still dilated 1cm/50% effaced. I've been taking my primrose like crazy, but I think that the baby is going to come when she comes because I've been SOOO insanely active for the past 3 weeks and nothing.
Tricks that haven't worked:
-2 prenatal massages using specific labor-inducing pressure points
-ankle massage every night starting at 37 weeks
-walking at least 2 miles every day
-spicy food
...AND everything you can think of...besides castor oil.
Looking Forward To:
xoxo
