32w6d

Soooo I've been having Braxton-Hicks for the past 3 days. Pretty intense at points too-the first day it happened I was good and did what they told me to in my previous appointments and such-drink a glass of water, relax for an hour or so (did that in the form of a heavy duty two hour nap) and see what's going on after. So I did, but they were still going on when I got up. They were there yesterday, though not so bad, but when I got up this morning (at 430) there were a lot of them, pretty frequent, and its now accompanied by a constant crampy feeling-like you feel when it's about that time of the month.

Of course today was grocery day, and I've had a lot to do-gosh is it uncomfortable when your uterus is squeezing away. Sometimes I had to slow down an awful lot just so I could keep walking. I called the Naval Hospital to see what they had to say about it, but she kind of dismissed it and told me to time them if I was concerned about it-so I guess I will maybe, I know they aren't true contractions because they aren't painful but still its uncomfortable and it's something different I am experiencing so... whatever I guess. I know I'm not in labor labor-the baby is still moving around a ton and I haven't dropped at all-and she's lying sideways, moreso than head down I think (though they say she is head down? Sure doesn't feel like it). I suppose its a start though... only 4 more weeks till full term, so there's gotta be something going on getting it all ready...

Hang in there Mandi! You will feel lots of crazy tings and think you are getting close but really...(sorry to say) you have a little while BUT be thankful bc you want that baby girl to be in there till the end, even past 37 weeks. You will be glad in the end I promise! There is so much that can go wrong if she comes out earlier than that. I know it get's hard but it will be all totally worth it when she is in your arms and safe:) enjoy the remaining time in your pregnancy, like one of your other comments- I PROMISE you WILL miss having her in your belly somewhere around the 3 month mark:) Until then...rest, put your feet up, eat all you can:) and try to get all the other stuff done while you anticipate what's ahead. It's gonna be great!!!
