Week 36

35+1

Trying not to get my hopes up but I think she might have turned. I didn't necessarily feel her do it but I've had some incredible painful movements over the last few days that have made me cry out in pain which I think is either due to her making her way round or the fact she slipped easily into the head-down position and the more painful movements are now due to the way she is now laying. Most of the prods and sharp movements are now at the top of my bump but at the front - I think if she has turned she is laying back to back as it's like her feet and knees are poking out of the top of my bump. It's really quite uncomfortable! Amusing too though as if I have soemthing resting on my bump (a hand, a glass of water etc.) she kicks it out the way! When I move my hand etc. she follows it and kicks it again! EIther that or I'm completely wrong and she's still head-butting me! Only a week until we find out for sure at the scan.

I'm really aching now - especially my back (all over) which is another reason I think she may be back to back. I can't sit/lay/bend for too long as I end up aching for ages. It's really slowing me down now and making me incapable of doing anything! I'm feeling very whale like and huff and puff and grunt and groan getting out of chairs and rolling over in bed!

Other news is my left boobie (just the left one!) starting leaking more than just a few drops this week! I looked down to found a small sticky circle on my top and was glad I was at home!
My hospital bags are also almost packed now. Baby girl's is completely done but I've left mine as what I take will depend on what kind of birth I have and wanted to wait and see if I'd need a section first. Plus I'll be using lots of the stuff until I go into the hospital!

I can honestly say I enjoyed Noah's pregnancy much more. Having the time to revel in it all and sleep and rest when I wanted to in the later weeks. It's so much harder at this stage with a little monster to run around after and I'm just about ready for it to be over now!

Hopefully she HAS turned and I'll be able to have my natural birth but she won't keep me waiting too long! Don't want much do I?!
