How far along? 25 weeks - 5 weeks to go till the 30 week comfort zone, if I can make it that far without anymore scares then the chances are I'm going to go full term. -does the waddle dance-
Total weight gain: urgh... discovered US lbs are different to UK lbs so my tracker on here has been off as I used different conversion sites each time to convert kgs to lbs. I know for a fact I've gained 4kgs as I've been tracking that on my scales.
I think that's on track with the norm.
Maternity clothes? I have one pair of jeans and a top, still spending most of the time in my fleece leopard PJ bottoms. Classy lass!
Stretch marks? Not yet but I can't tell if the purple ones on my side have gotten darker. Still using the bio oil.
Sleep: Whats that...?
Best moment this week: Deciding to check Theas heartbeat yesterday and finding it so loud it hurt my ears and freaked me out for a second. I think it was about 130-140bpm but it was hard counting and clock watching at the same time especially as she kicks the heck out of the monitor.
Movement: She's been getting quieter during the evenings but from about midnight onward she's doing martial arts in there but I know its still too early for her to be settled in a routine and even in the evening I'm still getting the 10 movements in under 30 mins.
Food cravings: Chocolate still and cherry flavored soda.
Gender: GIRL! Or at least she was the last time I checked, still don't believe it.
Labor signs: No more scares, just really mild and rare braxtons.
Symptoms: Leaky boobs!! Silly bobs are too excited, I've got weeks yet.
Belly button in or out? In -checks- Yup in still
Wedding rings on or off? On still, snug but still nothing to worry about.
Happy or moody most of the time: Moodswings and insecurity. Also lonely
Other News: Still not sure when I'm going to be able to get the 3D scan, nor do I have a clue when we are going to be able to buy anything for the baby or if I can get maternity clothes. Every month it looks like money might be okay and then something crops up to screw the accounts over.
Very disappointed.
Midwife has advised that due to my condition I should get my hospital bag ready, even if its not for labor but for overnight observation it would be helpful to have it ready for hospital trips.
Fun but depressing that even with how good I feel and no more scares that they are still concerned about preterm labor.
I'm starting to get the weight gain woes, my legs and butt are putting on some extra chunk I noticed and I feel guilty for dreading shifting it when I know its all needed. I'm trying to be mindful of what I eat but sometimes 700cal micro pizzas are all I want to eat for lunch. Guess I have the rest of my life to shift it so really I should get back to worrying about money worries and breastfeeding bras.
Oh and no...2yr olds cannot paint toe nails, only sofas, floors and most of my foot. Was worth a shot though.
