Pregnancy Update / Week 36

WEEK 36 PREGNANCY UPDATES

Here’s another weekly pregnancy update. I cannot believe that I reached 36 weeks. It is quite a big milestone. My first child was born at 35 weeks. So, now I am so relieved that this baby is opposite. At first I was worried she’ll come early too. So, now we just wait and see!

36 WEEKS OF PREGNANCY UPDATE

November 24- 30

This week I reached 36 weeks of pregnancy. I am so happy. Now, I just enjoy these last few weeks before the baby comes. I am trying to get some sleep as much as I can. Because I know when the baby comes it needs more attention and sleeping is hard. Also, I am enjoying these baby bump before it’s over. One good thing about being pregnant is that you don’t need to worry about having a big belly especially when you eat too much. Unlike when you’re not pregnant and worried about that huge fat belly.

I must admit that I am getting bored lately. It feels like I am waiting for this baby’s arrival forever. I stayed home since I was 30 weeks pregnant until now. I have made everything ready and now that everything is ready I feel bored waiting. Well, I know it won’t be long until the baby comes. I just need to be more patient.

HOW I FEEL AND PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS

CONSTANT BATHROOM TRIPS

I go to pee a million times during the day and night. This week is getting harder. I need to get up the middle of the night just to pee. Last few weeks I managed to stay in bed at night and go to pee only in the morning when I get up. This week is harder.

INSOMNIA

Sleeping at night is not good anymore. This week insomnia is bad. Also, another reason for not sleeping well is that it is very hard for me to roll over from one side to another. I always try to sleep on my left side but I need to change position to the right as well.

RAPID WEIGHT GAIN AND FEELING FAT

I might eat too much carbohydrates and sweets lately. The reason why I gained a lot of weight, a kilo per week. The nurse said it is normal due to baby growing and me swelling a lot. I feel so fat now. My whole body becomes bigger. My face looks fat, my tights and legs are really big. And of course, the belly is growing too. I am trying to walk and be active on a daily basis. And hopefully to lose all this pregnancy weight gain fast after giving birth. One morning I woke up to very swollen feet. :) Now I always hang my feet and legs especially during the night when I sleep. Feet are not swollen that much anymore.

EXCITED AND CANNOT WAIT FOR BABY’S ARRIVAL

Now that I am at 36 weeks, I am so ready to have this baby already. I am so excited and I cannot wait. I feel like I have been waiting for so long now. I think that it’s okay for the baby to come now. It is not early and risky anymore. I am honestly hoping that the baby will come 1-2 weeks before Christmas. The due date is December 22 though. I know that we never know when the baby comes. It comes when she is ready and at the right time. But really, I am getting impatient. :)
