My due date according to ultrasounds is 9/24. According to last cycle calculations is 9/27. It’s currently about 3:30am on 9/19 and it feels like baby is coming sooner than later. I thought it would be fun to journal some of the things I’ve been going through.
In relation to my last two pregnancies, this one was a cake walk. I’ve been healthy except for one minor cold right after celebration California summer camp, I actually think just it was Covid, and a way more mild case of SPD. Just knowing what it is this time has helped tremendously. The heartburn has been brutal. I’m eating tums like candy. It used to be only at night but now it seems like I have heartburn no matter what I eat and all throughout the day as well.
Jane doesn’t really kick anymore, but makes big rolling movements and sticks her limbs out making sharp little bumps on the sides of my belly. I’m at the point where my stomach feels so stretched out, like it can’t possibly stretch and further. I know it’s going to feel like a deflated balloon in a couple days, and I’m actually looking forward to that to not have this stretching feeling.
I’ve been sleeping on the couch, mostly because the kids are camping out in the backyard, but also because I seem to sleep better out here for some reason. It’s lower to the ground and easier to get up, and the way it curves seems to fit my belly better. As I’m typing this I’m super nauseous all of a sudden. Maybe today it the day.
