Ahhh Yes, Now I Remember..

I am almost 34 weeks along now and I have to say that this pregnancy has gone much smoother than previous ones. With Ellie I was depressed and gained too much weight. With Emma I wasn't able to work and had a few scares. However, with baby to be the only thing that has been any sort of bump in the road is when my hip went out, and that I think had less to do with the pregnancy and more to do with trying to pack up an entire house by myself. Lately I've been tired and worn out...and working over 40 hours a week and chasing two other little girls...so nothing of concern. I was starting to think that I was going to sail on through until week 40 with no problems. I even started to forget what the last month and a half or so was like both times before. Then I woke up last night....Ahhh yes, now I remember.

I would like to say "Welcome Back" to the groin pain and the pelvic pressure. Oh how I missed you! Braxton Hicks, well, I almost forgot how uncomfortable you make me when I'm just trying to relax. However, I have bonded with the bathroom lately as I have to pee literally every 5 minutes or so. And I don't think breastfeeding will be an issue this time around as my boobs are all ready ;) Lucky me.

What I DO NOT remember is having all of these things happen so early on before the due date. With Ellie I didn't have hardly any braxton hicks, no pelvic/groin pressure, and no leaky boobs. With Emma I had some pelvic/groin pain but that didn't start until about 4-5 days before I went into labor. Maybe the powers that be know that this is my last pregnancy and have decided to make sure I never forget what it's like......

Just to share in your misery - my boobs started leaking at 22 weeks, I had pelvic/hip/everything-down-there pain at 30 weeks (because she was sitting on my lower spine) and Braxton Hicks started about the same time. And I've only had ONE. This is why were hesitating on baby #2.

LOL I think the leaking is the worst!!! It's so embarassing, lol ;) And I've totally given up trying to look good at work...even my maternity stuff doesn't fit anymore. LOL.
