Visible
changes in my body: I
think my bump is more rounder and maybe slightly lower
Other:
Still going 2-3 times
a night to the toilet. As
you may recall from my last week's post we are in a kind of a limbo
at the moment as our landlord didn't agree yet to us moving out, and
we are desperately in need of our own place as we were forced to take
refuge at my husband's parents house, which is not ideal for me at
all. We wanted to vacate property on Friday, but it's now been a week
and a half since the incident and them being informed about the
situation. This situation stresses me out a lot, I cry almost every
day and I'm worried about baby as well,-when she will arrive, how she
will arrive and where we will be staying. Baby is active, especially during the evening, from time checking heartbeat with doppler. My
sweep is booked for this Saturday, will see if it helps to fast
forward labour.
How
do I feel: Apart from stress, feel good (touch wood). If out and
about feeling tired quicker.
Cravings:
still none.
Fitness:
stopped any fitness routine due to no treadmill available and not
sure that it's a good time to carry on swimming in a public pool
Baby: At 40
weeks baby
is getting a little heavier and may grow a bit more in length. The
average baby is about 51cm long from head to toe and weighs about
3.4kg at birth. Baby continues to shed the greasy, white substance
(vernix caseosa) which has been protecting her skin. If she shows no
sign of making an appearance after another week, she may have
slightly dry
skin when
she arrives.
She has mastered all the skills she'll need after she's born. She can instinctively search for her thumb and suck it, just as she will search for your breast for a feed soon after birth.
