I was saying to G today that this pregnancy has gone remarkably smoothly and well. By this point when I was having D, I was so big & so uncomfortable that I could do little more than lie around all day catching naps when possible and wishing the days away until 'The Due Date'. This time things are completely different. I'm enjoying the last days as a family of 3, and spending some quality time with D. Physically I'm remarkably well - for example, today I got up and we made a start on clearing out the basement. Needed some storage containers so went out to buy some, came back, did a few more hours hard labour down there, came back upstairs, did some stuff outside, and am about to now cook dinner. Sure, things are not quite so easy to do as when not pregnant such as bend down to pick something off the floor, but mostly I can cope with anything that the day throws at me without too much bother.
I'm sleeping well again, waking only once or twice in the night for a loo visit. I have some heartburn and a small amount of pain in my pelvic area from the pressure of the baby, a green tummy from bruising, but otherwise I'm perfectly OK and cannot complain. I am even walking regularly with the dog. Oh, I missed out another negative.... yesterday during a coughing fit I wet myself a little....lol. But that's part and parcel of normal pregnancy, pressure on the bladder, etc. G was far more horrified when I told him than I was!
I'm sitting here right now in my usual position of feet up on the desk with the keyboard half resting on my bump. As I write, the baby is moving around so that the keyboard wibbles & wobbles :)
Please cross your fingers for me that everything continues to go well !
