Pregnancy Update / Week 35

WEEK 35 PREGNANCY UPDATES

Here’s another weekly pregnancy update. I am 35 weeks now and almost 36 weeks. Wow! time goes so fast now and we are so close to the due date. I cannot wait to see and hold my baby in my arms.

35 WEEKS OF PREGNANCY UPDATE

November 17- 23

This week I continue to walk about an hour a day (trying my best :). It feels so good even though it’s quite hard to walk now due to pelvic pain. But being active is so worth it. We also went swimming last weekend and it was so good. I also continue doing my kegel exercises and trying to be active as much as I can.

On Wednesday, November 20th I had appointment. Everything is great. Also, I met with a doctor. He checked me and I am still close. The baby is now about 2,6kg. The baby is moving all the time and is doing great inside. I was 35+3 during my appointment and my first child was born at 35+6. At first, I feel like this baby will come early too, but lately, I feel like she’s staying a little bit longer. There is no rush here. All I pray is that the baby will come at the right time. And that she will be healthy. That’s all that matters.

HOW I FEEL AND PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS

SWOLLEN LEGS AND CONSTANT BATHROOM TRIPS

I go to pee a million times during the day and night. My legs and feet are swollen and are painful to walk.

INSOMNIA

Sleeping is so hard lately. Sometimes I sleep really well at night. Sometimes sleeping is so hard.

PAINFUL VARICOSE VEINS AND PELVIC PAIN

Swollen legs is getting worse now. It’s painful again and even standing up is hard to do. I don’t have butt/hip pain so far. So much pelvic pain especially during the night. Rolling over in bed is so difficult. But trying to get some sleep as much as I can.

STRONG BABY MOVEMENTS

It is a relief to me that the baby keeps moving. Actually I feel her move nonstop. I can see my belly moves from outside. The baby is like having a disco inside. This is such a great experience and it makes me happy. I love to touch my belly all the time and talk to my baby. Pregnancy is such a great experience and is such a blessing to grow a human being inside you.
