Since I knew I was going to be induced on Monday, August 15th, I tried to make the best of my last couple days as a pregnant girl. Being 39 weeks pregnant, there isn’t much you can do, but I spent a lot of time with Annabelle, finished my To Do list, and attempted to mentally prepare myself for labor/delivery.
How Far Along
39 weeks 3 days
Total weight gain
28-30 lbs (fluctuates with the change in weather)
Baby Facts
She is full term – maybe 7lbs – and is getting evicted tomorrow.
Pregnancy Symptoms
Since she has officially droppped, I’ve been able to breathe much better. The heartburn is practically gone, but my poor intestinal system is squished and suffering, so going to the bathroom has been a chore. My hair is pretty amazing and I’m sure going to miss it when it starts to fall out. Emotions – I am a blubbering, crying, angry mess and I can’t control what comes out of my mouth. I never started lactating this pregnancy like I did with Annabelle… but if I squeeze my nipple I can see a little bit of colostrum seep out. My linea negra showed up last week and Annabelle is so confused as to why Mommy has a big brown line down her belly.
LABOR SIGNS?
The baby has dropped and my pelvis feels broken. Oh, and I’ve had TONS of BH contractions, lower back pain, and cramping.
Wondering? Here is my 39 week bump update with Annabelle.
Congratulations, so happy for you and your little family!
