At Fridays Appointment the doctor confirmed that I am 4cm dilated and said that it could be anytime now that we have the baby. Ever since then I have been thinking that it would come, each day thinking today is the day. But, he has not come yet! I get so nervous each day that I have to go to work. I keep thinking that my water might break at work and I'll be pretty embarrassed. I would much rather be at home these last few days but I have to save my maternity leave time to be with the baby for as long as possible.
I just have such anxiety about when it will happen. I was so surprised that I was already dilated because I wasnt really in pain. I am very happy that my body is taking a slow and steady approach and hoping it makes for a less painful and lengthy labor.
Last night I had a few pretty painful crampy contractions that woke me up but nothing that was frequent enough to time. Maybe tonight? haha Until it is time I will just keep waking up every hour wondering if my water will break when I get up to go to the bathroom or if my contractions will get worse.
How am I feeling is what everyone asks...I am feeling alot of pressure in my pelvic area. Every once in a while I get a nerve pain that shoots from my pelvic bone down my leg and causes me to have extreme pain for a few seconds until i move positions. this is especially awkward if I am walking in public when this happens. I am tired but that is probably because I dont want to be at work so it is hard for me to focus. I have been trying to have everything buttoned up ever since 36 weeks when the doctor said it could be anytime so I dont have many tasks that I can work on before I leave. My back pain has started up again (havent really had any throughout the whole pregnancy). But seriously, still not complaining because compared to what I have read, I am golden! I would not change my pregnancy experience for the world, even these last few days, I am still doing really well. I have even got myself to walk on the tredmill the last couple days but that is because of the motivation that walking could help labor start haha
Maybe my last belly pic...?
