Last 2 weeks of pregnancy.. I hope! While I have enjoyed it and its been fairly easy for me, I am done being pregnant and want my little man in this world with us. But I will remain patient and wait for him on his own time. Although I did have a bit of a scare on Monday night.
My wife and I were talking saying that we think hes too comfortable in my womb and will be a late born baby. Well that night proved to me to not jump to conclusions. I had the worst night in my pregnancy history. At about 1:30 AM I woke to mild to severe lower abdominal cramping! It wasnt that they were too painful it was that they were annoying and I was uncomfortable. And I couldnt sleep much due to the severe cramps that would hit me about every 30 mins. I tried every position to sitting up propped with several pillows. I paced around practicing my yoga learned relaxation breathing, I even tried yoga poses, drinking water, something to help them go away to allow me some more sleep before work. I knew what I was feeling was false labor from the timing of my severe cramping so I wasnt going to go the hospital to be checked out. Plus my belly is still really high and havent lost my plug or waters. Finally after tossing and turning waking my wife up several times, I gave up at 6 AM, texted my manager saying not showing up to work today, made myself a hot tea, and bounced and stretched on my yoga ball. An hour later the cramping subsided enough to allow me a couple more hours of sleep and I ended up passing out on the couch. Throughout the day I would get a sharp Braxton hick every once in a while during the day and my lower abdomen felt sore from the cramping. I only lasted till 8pm and ended my day early off to bed. Today I woke up feeling like a million bucks due to being able to get sleep and feel rested. And without any discomfort of cramps or even BH. Weird!!!
I ended up thinking my body is just giving me a taste of whats ahead and preparing itself for actual labor. Back to the waiting board and I will not be trying to predict when baby Eli will be his making his appearance again!! :o)
