33 Weeks

My goodness how did that happen! In 7 weeks I am going to be a Mum, I simply cannot wait.

This pregnancy really has just flown right by, I just hope it continues to go this quickly, they say that the last month really drags so it will be interesting to see.

Although I may not even make it to full term. The doctors are saying that if my blood pressure is still high I will more than likely be induced early, not my desired outcome, however I am prepared to do whatever it takes for our baby to be delivered safely into this world and into our arms.

I still can't shake this negative feeling, I am trying to reassure myself and put these feelings down to hormones, I have been feeling quite fragile in a sense for about the past week, and got a little upset this morning, even my watch is now tight, so I am swelling elsewhere also, not just in my feet.

I find it difficult to look at body parts and try to determine if they are swollen or not.

I have an appointment at the hospital on Tuesday morning so I will voice my concerns then if I am still feeling this way.

Just making a quick note of things I need to tell doctor.
  • I had a blood nose on Tuesday, I cannot remember the last time I had a blood nose!

  • The past two nights I have awoken with pins and needles in my fingers.
  • Stomach Cramps
  • Swelling in hands and feet.

  • Reflux/Heartburn
I don't want to ring the hospital just to tell them about the above because I know I am probably just being a paranoid first time Mum, however if I start to feel worse I will certainly phone them.

Thought I better add in a belly pic that I got Mum to take today, I have been really slack in taking these! I cropped my face out as I was pulling a horrible face!

Lets compare todays pic to the last one taken in front of that tree at 18w, My god I am now HUGE!!!

And this one taken at 21w 1d, and I thought I was big then!



Thank goodness bubby is going to be born in spring, the weather will be nice, I will be able to pound the pavement each day!
