How far gone? 40 weeks! Time to come out now.
Total weight gain: 35lbs in total. I don't know what happened...
Maternity clothes: Still living in just my maternity trousers or leggings when I go out.. most of the time I don't bother getting dressed anymore! I'm just relaxing in bright pink pyjamas right now.
Sleep: I'm getting around 4 hours of horribly broken sleep at the moment. I try to nap in the day if I can but things have seemed to go hectic all of a sudden.
Movement: I'm still getting regular movement. It's just a lot smaller now - clearly baby is a bit cramped in there!
Food cravings: I'm not craving anything particular - except at about 5am this morning I really wanted pasta and mushrooms..
Gender: I just want to know now!
Labour signs: I've been losing my mucus plug for around a week now - but no blood, which my midwife was dissapointed about. I've been getting cramps that feel like period pain, and have had some really intense contractions but they don't stay for long and never get closer together at all. Braxton Hicks have become even more regular and often quite intense. I'm hoping that labour is just around the corner!
Symptoms: Still getting back and hip pain - baby feels so low and my hips are incredibly painful at night. My joints click and crack alot and throughout the night feel very stiff. I'm really struggling with walking any kind of distance - the 5 minute walk back the doctors took me 20 minutes yesterday for example.
What I'm looking forward to: Baby cuddles. Oh and starting to get things moving along too - I have a sweep tomorrow at home. And then can have one every 2 days after then - so hopefully it won't be much longer!
I have been reading about Squishy's progress each week here so go and have a look.
