37 Weeks Pregnancy Update

Wow officially full term today, can't believe i made it.

I only have 3 weeks left, can you believe that, this pregnancy has gone so quick, but it does feel like at the moment I'm waiting all day all night for something to happen, as soon as i have a contraction feeling I'm like is this it? 

I'm on to weekly midwife appointments now so every Tuesday i have to make my way into the hospital to have a five minute appointment for them to tell me that everything is fine and we will see you next week.

Braxton Hicks contractions seem to be getting a lot stronger and more frequent but nothing to worry about. i'm having to use the bathroom a lot more this week during the night i think i go 3/4 a night which can be a pain some nights.

i have packed all my bags and most of the house is cleaned haha so i'm definitely ready for this little guy to come into this world but something is telling me that its going to be there till after its due date.

i had this feeling the whole way along that i was going to go early and now that I've got 3 weeks left something is telling me that i'm going to go over. but we will see what happens. i will keep you updated on Twitter @MummysVenture

Heart Burn has seem to stop this week which is such a relief when your trying to sleep.

36 Weeks Pregnant

This week has gone super quick, I can clearly remember writing last weeks 35 week update and thinking omg the next 5 weeks is going to go so slow but maybe I was wrong, hopefully it keeps going this quick and this little guy comes out soon!!

I have been getting a lot of braxton hicks these last 2 days sometimes they are stronger then others but they are nothing too bad. 

I've also been very out of breath and finding I'm having to take a lot more brakes a lot quicker and I cant stand up for to long now. Which sucks when you have a 2 year old already who will not let you sit down for too long.

I'm pretty sure baby is head down now but I have a ultra sound tomorrow so I will find out then and update you guys.

I'm also finding i'm still very tired all the time as well as hungry all the time I can eat a full meal and still be hungry straight after, and sleep well i'm using the bathroom 3 times a night so I'm not getting much sleep then my little 2 year doesn't like to nap during the day so I have to be up to him all day.

35 Weeks Pregnancy Update

5 WEEKS TO GO

OMG this pregnancy has gone so quick, cannot believe i have only 5 weeks left till I'll have 2 beautiful son's. 

i definitely cannot wait for this pregnancy to be over and i definitely have made that decision that this will be my last pregnancy, I'm so happy with all my boys and i definitely could not ask for anything more, yes i will miss dress up a little girl or doing nails and doing all that girly stuff but if you know me I'm not that sort of person anyway i would definitely prefer to take my boys to sport and get dirty, not saying that girls don't but you know what i mean.

i have all my bags packed, there just sitting in the nursery all prepared and waiting.

i have been really well no big problems, lots of stretching pains when baby moves, I'm pretty sure baby is head down now which is good. my blood pressure and baby blood pressure is all good i have put a total of 13kg's on which is not bad just hoping its not to much more but it shouldn't.

I'm still getting crazy indigestion, i'm starting to get used to that, also back pain is the worst, but lots of rest helps with that.

31 Weeks Pregnancy Update

31 weeks, less then 9 weeks to go, excited but also nervous because my main little man is still sick and i'm still trying to get on top of his sickness and rashes before or new little guy arrives, so then it all becomes a nice smooth transition as well as if im in hospital for the week. But I know it will all come together.

 

This week I have been feeling well other than getting uncomfortable when bending over or standing for to long, just little things like that. I've noticed my feet are alittle swollen but not too much to worry about just yet, My tummy has also become really hairy haha, it defently must be a hormonal thing because I remember getting it with my first pregnancy, it defently doesn't look very nice.

 

my hair and skin has become very oily this week, I cannot keep makeup on my skin because the oil just seeps through which is total gross I know but I have to carry a powder around with my and touch it up every half hour if I need to wear makeup, but lucky im a stay at home mummy so I can get away with not wearing makeup all week.

 

I've had crazy intergestion and heart burn the last two days which totally sucks, its starting to come good now though.  

 

I have my husbands grandparents coming to stay next weekend for 5days so that's going to be fun, so its cleaning and getting things ready this weekend.

30 Weeks Pregnancy Update

YAY we made it to 30 weeks, only 10 weeks left.

 

Where on the home stretch now, not long now till I get to meet this little baby boy, i'm so excited to see how different he is going to look from Ry or weather he looks the same and just seeing if he is going to be a different baby or have the same characteristics, i'm excited.

 

So for this week I have been sick with the flu AGAIN yes thank you Ry. I have this horrible cough that wont go away and is driving me nuts because well if your pregnant or have been pregnant you know that when your 30 weeks pregnant and you a constantly coughing lets just say it doesn't help when your bladder is always full.

 

i've still been having alot of Braxton hicks this week and alot of stretching pain in my vagina which is not nice, i'm finding it very hard to bend down now and i'm always out of breath and i'm always thirsty so there fore i'm always in the bathroom.

 

I have my 30 week ultra sound today, so hopefully I can get a picture or two but see what happens, my husband and I are going to spend the day together since Ry is off to playgroup so we might go out for lunch and maybe coffee but see what happens with ultrasound, I also need to try and get results from my GTT scan I had on Saturday, i'm hoping because I have not heard anything that the results are all good but who knows.
