Baby Class
Today was our first Prep for Childbirth class
And it was kind of boring. I'm sorry, but almost any pregnant woman is going to learn the stages of labor within the first few months of finding out she's pregnant. At least I did, because I was scared!! Anywho, hopefully next week's class is better.
Is there anyone else who is much smaller than others for their time? I'm officially 8 months and just finally starting to round out. Everyone there was sooo much bigger than me. They were all complaining about swollen feet (I was the only one NOT wearing sandals) and about not being able to wear their rings (again, only one with rings). I felt like they were staring at me like I wasn't really 8 months prego. I may not have had these symptoms, and yes I know I'm lucky and I'm NOT complaining, but I did have all-day sickness really bad for 5 months when I could hardly keep food down (which is prob. a big part of why I'm smaller) and have had other problems too (constipation, constant heartburn, blah blah). And then I got scared, because why am I NOT this big?? Technically, I haven't GAINED extra weight...I lost 15 from being sick, and gained 15 back finally. I know I am already overweight and won't gain as much, but now I'm wondering if maybe I should be worried about this lack of weight gain ... my doctor hasn't said anything, but I was wondering if maybe she is afraid to say anything until she knows for sure. But surely she wouldn't wait until this far along, right? The baby seems fine, through ultrasound, etc. I am just getting scared because of being faced with actual people in front of me who are the same length along as me and are MUCH bigger...:( I don't think my due date can possibly more than a few weeks off because of when I found out I was pregnant, so I don't think it's that I'm not as far along as I thought, either.
I sound like a crazy person!! aah!
