Pregnancy is weird.It does remind me a lot of what I was like
when I was really depressed funnily enough - however the depression is
different as I find personally pregnancy it’s just small spurts of
anxiety and not really sadness, just little freakouts and backed up with
OMG I GET TO MEET MY DAUGHTER!
Some days I have these overwhelming feelings like I JUST DONT WANT TO BE PREGNANT ANYMORE AGH I WANT TO FEEL NORMAL AND NOT LIKE A GIANT SWAMP MONSTER and some days I am just SO DAMN overjoyed that I get to meet my little girl in a few weeks and I love pregnancy, love my belly, love everything about it!
I think it doesn’t help my brain doesn’t function properly of course with baby brain etc and I am trying to write assignments. Everyday I go through the same 2 thoughts, WHY DID I SAY FULL TIME UNI IS A GOOD IDEA WHILST PREGNANT? then…..It’s only 5 more weeks, calm it down woman!
So many confusing thoughts.
I don’t even THINK about labor, or contractions, or the pain or anything. So many girls I see are freaked out about it all, but it honestly isn’t something that comes into my mind or plagues me. I’d LOVE to do a home birth next time, but I’m just not concerned, I think because I am VERY intuitive when it comes to how I feel and what I feel that I know I will be very low on stress as that’s just how I am, I’m fantastic at positive self talk!
I’m actually more worried about what the hell I’m going to eat for dinner because I AM SO RAVENOUS!
ahaha.
Pregnant life mate.
This week marks 31 weeks!
Hitting the third trimester milestone was ace, but I think hitting the 30’s is even better, I’m not noticing much difference except she is growing exponentially and I know between 28-30w my body was trying to adapt to more hormones and I was very emotionally rollercoastering, but otherwise I feel much better lately. Any symptoms I might have - headaches, exhaustion, trouble sleeping, frustration, even hip pain will last for a day and that’s it and I seem to bounce back pretty quickly. I’m noticing my hip is reaaaaally bad for a day (usually sat or sunday) and that must be the uterus pressure/baby growing as it gets better the next day. I just smother it with pain reliever cream and use a heatpack and make sure Im sitting comfortably and I wake up find the next day. Just have to remind myself to rest!
I can’t believe that in 6 weeks I am full term! So incredible! I will be making sure I have everything ready! I’ve got Mum & dad visiting not next weekend but the one after and they will be bringing up the change table and other bits and pieces I got from people at the baby shower. SO excited! That will make it all a little more real! We will also be getting a mattress for the cot so we can set it all up! I need to get some plastic containers for under the bed/cot too!
Some things I need to get for myself are some maternity pads and anything I want or need for Labor/after delivery. I’ve got a list but I don’t think there’s too much there, it’s just making sure my Ipad is charged and camera is ready to go plus clothes and uggboots :)
So really….I’ve got 2 assignments due this week, I’ve finished one and nearly finished the other….then it’s 2 assignments due early may and 3 assignments due at the end of may and that’s it. Thank goodness, I don’t know how long I can keep it up! It drains me so much! I don’t know how pregnant women work full time! I get 3 days off and I still find it so hard!
Cannot frikken wait :D
