Pregnancy Update / Week 29

WEEK 29 PREGNANCY UPDATES

It feels like days and weeks goes by really fast now. We are now at 29 weeks, only 11 weeks to go. We are almost there. Only a few more weeks until we meet our little bundle of joy. Sometimes I also forget that my baby is due on Christmas. I am waiting for a baby and forgetting that I should also be waiting and preparing for Christmas. Two exciting things happening.

29 WEEKS OF PREGNANCY UPDATE

October 6- 12

This third trimester is getting harder day after day. I am feeling more tired now and though I would say I can handle it. I know it’s getting harder. Only me knows how hard it is. If you look at me I am strong and that I am totally fine.

I am okay at work. Sitting down whenever I get the chance to rest. I am still walking to work and home. Which is also getting harder now because while walking I can feel braxton hicks and abdominal cramps. But I need to be active. When I start my maternity leave, I will do daily exercise too at home.

I’m washing more clothes and stuff toys. I also organized the dressers already. We still have a lot of things to buy and honestly, I want everything to be ready now. And buy all those things we need. I cannot wait for the baby shower anymore or the gifts we may receive. I want to have all the necessary things ready now.

HOW I FEEL AND PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS

CRAVINGS FOR SWEETS

Never thought I crave for sweets again. But here I am all I think about is chocolate cakes, cupcakes, and brownies. I should slow down and eat fruits instead.

BRAXTON HICKS

This Braxton hicks occurs from time to time. It is not nice at all. Aside from that I also have cramps just above the pubic bone. It gets harder specially when I am walking. It is really painful. I am a little worried and honestly want to see my baby in the ultrasound to see if she’s ok in there. I have an appointment next week and I have so many questions to ask.

HARD TO MOVE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT SIDE OR GETTING UP

Lately I can feel backpains. I am totally fine at work, but once I get home and rest I feel all the pain. When I am lying down it’s so hard for me to move from one side to another. Also, hard to get up from the sofa. I am sleeping on the sofa. The only place I am comfortable to sleep.

STRONG BABY KICKS, BELLY IS MOVING

I can now see my baby is dancing inside my belly. My belly moves whenever the baby kicks or moves inside. It’s amazing and sometimes uncomfortable too. But I love it. I always make sure I can feel it and that the baby is moving so I know everything is fine there.
