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?

Hey Shanny, From what i've read the evening primrose and the RLT wont induce labour just help your body to prepare! :D
