In general, I am starting to get very uncomfortable, but it's not unbearable yet.
I did have to get out of bed and sleep in a chair last night! It turns out that right about now, certain muscles and tissues in my body are loosening up to prepare for birth. Unfortunately, my cervix's sister -- the muscle or tissue that keeps my stomach closed -- is also loosening up! It leads to liquids in my belly leaking up into my throat at night when I sleep and it feels like I'm choking!
Not a good way to wake up -- over, and over, and over!
So, I resorted to the rocker last night. Let me tell you, it SUCKED! I did sleep, but at 3 am I woke up in so much pain! My joints were so stiff and I couldn't even turn my head to see what time it was.
At that point, I figured I had been upright long enough and crawled back into bed to lie down. That was great, except I still don't feel like I got enough sleep and there is a lot to do this weekend, so I'm up and trying to be awake now.
I feel a LOT of movement still and pressure down "south" now. I'm sure she's moving down lower as she gets ready to come out!
I still haven't packed my bag, but that's the big plan for this weekend. That, and organizing the nursery.
Other than that, it's same old, same old around the house.
Stay tuned!!!
