37 weeks - FULL TERM !!
By Shannybum » Posted Nov. 1, 2011 6:19pm - 483 views - 4 comments
How far along: 37 weeks, 4 days
How Big is the Baby: Anywhere up to 7 pounds but I think at this point babies are going to be different. My midwife doesn't like to "guess". I was a tiny baby (5lb, 13 oz even a week late) so babe might take after me.
New/Changed Symptoms: Stuffy nose, a few more stretch marks, Fatigue.
Emotions: I've been very emotional, worried, anxious, sad, gullty, been a rough week.
Something Funny That Happened: I was at a friend's house visiting and we were at her dining room table. I was sitting with my knees apart, kinda letting my belly hang down. All of a sudden I feel a tickling and her dog was up licking my tummy through my shirt! He wouldn't stay away from me, kept snuggling my belly - and he's not an overly snuggly dog. she was really surprised.
Best moment of the Week: Nothing stands out right now...had a nice weekend with friends visiting, got to snuggle her baby girl. OH and my family bought me my changetable/dresser :)
Movement: Lots of movement even though i read that a lot of babies slow down right about now - another reason I think this baby might be on the smaller size.
Maternity Clothes: My friend forgot the tights she was bringing me......so I'm making it through with what I have. I really don't see the point in buying anything now.
Weight: I've reached 35 pounds....didn't gain anything for over a week then gained 2 pounds over the weekend. Oh well.
Food cravings: Still sweets, milk, cereal. Bread.
Food aversions: Meat.
What I Miss: My paycheque!!!!
What I'm Looking Forward To: Husband putting together the change table/dresser so I can organize.
Milestone: Made it to full term - baby can come any day now!!!
Question(s): I want to prepare for labour (red raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil) but not induce it.......Is that possible?
