WEEK 32 PREGNANCY UPDATES
Eight months pregnant. Wow, this week we hit 32 weeks. Only 8 weeks more to go and it’s the due date. It is a lot challenging now that my belly is so huge. It’s getting heavy and honestly speaking everything’s painful now. I don’t like to be sound complaining but just telling the truth.
32 WEEKS OF PREGNANCY UPDATE
October 27- November 2
This week I finally finished the nursery. I mean, almost ready. We have the crib ready, changing table/dresser and the nursing chair is finally set up. I also moved to the bedroom the bookshelf. So there’s a place to put baby books and other things needed. I also put up garbage can beside the changing table so everything is easier. I haven’t found the perfect basket though to put on the changing table. And also need to buy a laundry basket for baby’s dirty clothes. Other than that everything’s ready.
We have a baby shower coming up tomorrow. I’m hoping friends can come and no one cancels. I have been busy this week baking, cleaning, arranging and putting up decorations. I want everything ready and not to be busy the day before.
This is my last week of sick-leave. And I’m not sure how can I go back to work when all I have is pain and really hard to walk.
HOW I FEEL AND PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS
HIP PAIN/ LEFT BUTT PAIN
If I move too much, stand or walk my butt, my left hip becomes really painful and so hard for me to walk. I need to hold something so I won’t fall down. When I’m sitting or lying down it is very hard to stand up. I am using a belly band support and it does help a little. I’m not sure how I survive working if I have this hip pain and hard to walk.
STUFFY NOSE
It’s so hard to breathe when my nose is so dry and stuffy especially during the night. I’m putting Vick’s when I go to bed so I can breathe. Two nights I didn’t put Vick’s and it was so hard to breathe.
BRAXTON HICKS
It comes when I am so busy doing something. When I was busy baking and making a dessert I had Braxton Hicks and it was painful. I tried to ignore it. It’s gone once I went to the sofa and rest. I notice that Braxton Hicks comes when I’m so busy and when I stand and walk a lot. However, Braxton hicks don’t come often now that I am on sick-leave and have enough time to rest at home.
Anyway, I have been eating unhealthy this week. Veggies and fruits aren’t my favorite lately and never crave for it. I’m eating more sweets instead which I know isn’t good. But I’m trying to hydrate as much as I can. I have constipation always. I am also taking iron every other day as per my nurse prescribed.
I’m looking forward to the baby shower this weekend. I hope it will be fun and successful. Also, we got our Libero bag this week. We got two of them and they’re free.
