It’s Tuesday, Jan 13. Only 4 days prior to baby’s due date this Saturday on Jan 17.
“Baby, are you ready? Will you go past the due date? Mommy was worried that you might come early before 37 weeks and is thankful that you passed the pre-term mark of 37 weeks. But now mommy is worried that you might go past the due date. Are you still comfortable sitting in mommy’s belly? As long as baby is healthy, mommy won’t mind. “
I have heard that first child is usually past the due date, but I thought that I would go early considering how big I have got and considering the most of my friends who had their first last year went early. Now when I get to work, I will get lots of comments about how I still made it to work, that my belly looks like it’s ready to pop anytime, etc.
Sleeping has been pretty uncomfortable mostly because of the sciatica on my legs. But I am trying to enjoy the last moment with baby. Last Saturday, we had a really nice walk in a beautiful weather around the neighborhood. It felt good spending quiet time with Biby and baby.
These past few days, the crampings come and go and I think I started getting the braxton hicks contraction (at least, I think I can tell it apart from baby’s movement). Not sure about baby dropping, haven’t felt much difference in the pressure. Will have another dr appt on this coming Thursday, we’ll see what the doctor says.
