Pregnancy Update / Week 37

WEEK 37 PREGNANCY UPDATES

37 weeks! Wow I cannot believe that I reached 37 weeks now. Since getting pregnant I was so worried that the baby will come early just like her big sister. But now she proved me wrong. Lately, I have a feeling that she will come late. Hopefully not over due. I hope she’ll come 1-2 weeks before Christmas. I honestly don’t want to be in the hospital on Christmas day. However, she comes when she’s ready. I just need to wait.

37 WEEKS OF PREGNANCY UPDATE

December 1- 7

Wow I am 37 weeks now! I am so happy that I reached this stage of pregnancy. I only made it to 35 weeks on my first pregnancy. So everything now is quite new to me. I continue gaining weight even though I eat just normal. Well, eating some sweets too sometimes. I noticed that I looked bigger. My legs and tights are big as well as my face. I am getting big day after day but that’s okay :)

I had an appointment with my nurse on December 2nd. Everythings were good except that my blog pressure is higher than my usual. So we have to see how it is next week at my next appointment. I have now a weekly appointment. We heard the baby’s heartbeat. She has the same position since the last few weeks I think 33 weeks her head was already down. The body is on the left side of the belly. She is healthy and growing.

HOW I FEEL AND PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS

BRAXTON HICKS

I had a lot of Braxton hicks this week and the last few weeks. I am also listening to my body if I am only having a Braxton hick or a real contraction. Anytime soon the baby can come. So, I am just right here waiting patiently.

NESTING

I have been nesting a lot lately. I want the house to be clean all the time especially the kitchen. Cleaning all the time and I want the kitchen sink to be always empty and clean. I also make sure that everything in the house is arranged and organized. It’s quite crazy but I just want to be ready whenever the baby comes. You know to come home to the clean house from the hospital.

RAPID WEIGHT GAIN AND FEELING FAT

Weight gain continues. My body is huge and everyhing is so big now especially my tights. It is also because of swelling.

PELVIC PAIN AND PRESSURE

It is getting harder and the pelvic is getting more painful. It is hard to walk but I try my best to walk a few times a day. An hour or more and also climb up the stairs. Our apartment is on the third floor and no elevator. So, I climb up the stairs all the time. It’s a good exercise for me.
