34 WEEKS

Wow i've hit 34 weeks and what a week the last week has been from feeling low, happy, irratable, scared and excited I feel absolutly exhausted.

It certainly has been a week of changes as have been feeling my fingers, feet and legs have been getting puffy and even just walking around the supermarket was a chore as I felt very heavy and achy. The joys of being pregnant i'm shocked people actually enjoy this, apprantly you forget all about the aches and pains of pregnancy and labour once baby arrives - umm i'm not so sure.

That Friday Feeling

End of the week at last. Not much sleep again last night mainly because of annoying neighbours with loud music but also very uncomfortable no matter which way I lay.

Today I keep getting Braxton Hicks rather frequently I guess another indication baby is preparing to meet the world. Even though i'm so tired i've snapped out of my bad mood luckily maybe the thought of the weekend and after changing my leaving date at work I only have 3 weeks of early mornings and long days in the office to go. Woohoo!

33 weeks & 4 days

Sun is out and weirdly I feel much happier. The thought of spending the summer with my baby with no work commitments puts a smile on my face and all the new changes that will be coming my way.

Nothing more to say but it's a good day.

Another Day Closer

Another day closer to due date, I actually did get some sleep last night for the first time in a few days and not feeling as emotional as yesterday.
Very achy though especially lower back and my lower belly is very heavy. I have also had to give in and take my belly bar out - i've tried the maternity style but it's just not working. I've had it since I was 17 I wanted to keep it in to remind my of my teenage years i'm now 3 weeks off 30.

Oh well I guess times have to change.

33 weeks & 2 days

Oh my what a day emotions sky high, hormones are everywhere. I never imagined pregnancy would be like this as each day passes it seems to get harder. More aches and pains, belly seems bigger and stretched which means more pressure down below so needing the loo constantly and to think it's another 6 1/2 weeks until due date.

How do women do this more than once, I hoped I would enjoy it but my god it's difficult. I can't wait for it to be over.

When is the best time to finish work?

I'm 33 weeks and 1 day and i'm achy, tired, can't concentrate, finding the working day extremly long and getting very irritatable with people who think they know it all - I'm about ready to pack up and leave it all behind.

I've said I will stay another 5 weeks OMG how am I going to do that if I feel like this now, so much for slowing down and relaxing I will be 38 weeks nearly.

Is it bad to want baby to come a little earlier so I can finish work earlier?

Comments welcome.

33 weeks

33 weeks pregnant today and getting very scared at the thought of labour. I had a look round the hospital yesterday and shown the delivery suite which made it hit home -just the thought of it in only just 7 weeks or so I could be lying there in one of those beds.

I've never fancied the idea of a water birth but after seeing the room and the pool it has crossed my mind as it seems so much more inviting than the other rooms.

Everyone keeps saying just think of all the women that have gone through it -it really doesn't help as they aren't me i'm allowed to feel scared if I want to it's the unknown to me.
