Status Report [39w0d]
39w0d.
Had a weekly doctor appointment today again, but no progress. I haven’t dilated at all yet. Hubby thinks baby will arrive this week, whereas I still think she will arrive on Nov 8. If she doesn’t come out one week after the due date (by Nov 12), we will be inducing the labor. Hope that will not happen.
I’ve heard walking around a lot would help the labor go smoothly, so I try to walk a lot lately. Today I walked 10k steps. Kinda hard at times though, since left side of my abdomen starts to hurt sometime. It’s the similar feeling when you eat and run right after… At least it goes away after while.
Hubby seems to finally get a feel of baby’s arrival. He packed his bag and put the infant car seat in the car, so we don’t have to worry about them when our baby is ready.
For myself, I don’t feel I’m pregnant much any more since I don’t have any “bad” symptom of being pregnant. My backbone doesn’t hurt, hip joints are still doing well, I can eat normally, and I haven’t gained weight for past couple of weeks.
I do feel sleepy and so I nap every day, which is a great thing…
My belly gets tighten very often now. Very noticeable when I wake up in the middle of the night. I don’t feel the pain but it is very hard for me to move around when this happens. Doctor said it’s contraction, but still a different kind of contraction. I get worried a bit but she didn’t seem to care, so I guess it’s normal?
Baby still moves in my belly, though it’s more of only arms and legs moving around. A lot of the times people can feel her kicking on my right side of the belly. Such a tiny foot sticking out <3
