Martha Has Possessed Me Again
30 Weeks
Wiggly should be renamed Tickly or sometimes Stretchy. I continue to be tickled from the inside, sometimes when Wiggly moves it feels like when you loose your stomach after coming over a hill in a car. Kind of weird for a second until it settles :) Have been feeling REALLY thirsty, rotating juice, water and of course milk (think I am going through between 4-6L a week). I generally feel really uncomfortably full after I drink though. I have been sick this week (AGAIN!!! - cruel to pregnant, can't take anything, then get sick more often), starting to feel better though. I think my body is starting to say 'Hang on a second here, you are getting too heavy'. My back is aching now if I walk too far, I tried to garden yesterday (bad idea - thx Rob for the massage), tried to do the shopping and that tired me out too! I am going to have to accept that I can't do what I used to (at least for 10 weeks). When I lean forward if sitting my back still hurts, if I lean back my lungs are squashed and can't breathe. At least our couch is comfy and I can generally find a position in bed reasonably comfortable. Baths are good too (get rid of gravity I say - send me to the moon for 10 weeks!). Have been practicing my Hypnosis for the birth, really enjoying taking 1/2hr a day to focus on relaxation so its a winner already!
I forgot to mention that when we were at Mum's place we were watching a movie in bed and I was watching my tummy more and saw a bump, went to feel it and it was a rock solid little baby bottom sticking out. I made Rob feel it too, it was really strange - really brought home the whole 'different human being living in my tummy' thing. Haven't felt it since though.
Also going to the toilet about 5 times a night at present and last night the 4:15am effort woke Wiggly up enough that it decided to have vigorous play for 15 minutes preventing me from going back to sleep. I think it will take after Rob, felt like swimming with tumbleturns and with the constant feet movement... definately Rob!
Weight: 57.3kg. Cravings: Milk, OJ & fresh pineapple.

Midwife came for her visit today. Confirmed baby is upsidedown with head in bladder, bum up and legs to the side which explains the occasional pains I get on my right side just below my ribs, where the baby seems to have decided to stretch (particularly in the middle of the night!) Weight: 57.3kg. Cravings: MILK & OJ (alternating)

(no picture - forgot to take one!)
Well I think I have made up for the no weight gain for a while, I seem to be putting on a bit at the moment. I am strating to get breathless just climbing the stairs at home. Still lots of wiggling and have started consuming milk by the truck load! Weight: 56.8kg. Cravings: MILK!!!!!

Had been feeling stressed because of 2 Uni exams coming up and 3 assignments to be finished before the end of semester. Then after my last exam I CRIED!! (yes like a pregnant lady), fortunately it was in the car and only Rob was around to witness the bizarre outpouring. I was sad to be leaving Uni because I love learning and although I know I will be back, not everything seems to follow logic when hormones are involved (especially a pregnancy sized amount of hormones). Lucky I finished my exams reasonably quickly, good old Wiggly had me needing the toilet as soon as I finished! Weight: 56.5kg.

Wiggly is kicking heaps, have developed heartburn (but not major or anything). Have had it several nights in a row, can't figure out what it is related to? I have also started having leg cramps in the night, will take magnesium to see if that helps. I think I am definately pregnant now walking around Uni is making me tired and my legs nearly gave way the other day on the library steps! Weight: 56.1kg. Cravings: still loving OJ.
