Last week, I noticed that I could breathe easier again but, in exchange for this minor relief, I began to feel pain and pressure around my pelvic and suprapubic regions that has made sleeping and turning in bed an ordeal. I had a feeling that my baby had already dropped and on last Wednesday's checkup, my OB confirmed it. My baby was engaged and I wasn't even on my 37th week yet.
It made me a little worried because Jeolo's birthday is coming up and I don't want my two boys to share the same birth date or even the same birth week. I voiced my concern and she told me to take it easy and be less active if I wanted to delay the inevitable for a few more days. Done!
The whole thing has made me anxious though and the very frequent Braxton-Hicks contractions I've been getting for the last two days have not helped. I'm still hoping that I'll be able to get through next week without popping the bub out. I'm really excited to see him though and hold him in my arms and nip those little feet that have been torturing my poor ribs. :D
Anyway, please send me your positive vibes and prayers that I'll have a safe delivery and a normal, healthy baby. Thanks!
