32 weeks! How on earth did that happen? My pregnancy has honestly flown by! I can’t believe in just 5 weeks time, she will technically be considered full term!!!
I am definitely starting to relate to being in the third trimester now and feeling those exhausted feelings everyone talks about.
In the last week I’ve been experiencing really bad cramps in my legs during the night which have then made my legs ache all day like I’ve ran a marathon! Thank goodness for the roll on deep freeze gel I’ve been using! I love this! It’s basically like a deodorant roll on which means you don’t have to get your hands all icky will gel - bonus in my eyes!
As we edged closer to the 32 week mark this week baby had definitely done some shuffling about in there.
Earlier in the week, I spent a couple of hours on the maternity assessment unit as I hadn’t felt her move very much on Sunday evening and Monday morning.. only for her to start having a party the moment they put a monitor on her to check she was ok! She was not a fan of that at all! She kept trying to kick it off!
On Wednesday evening I experienced some sharp pains (a quick google as I thought I was having Braxton Hicks) however I think she has completely changed positions. My bump has also dropped a little and definitely changed shape! I’m not sure if she has moved towards being slightly engaged. I have another scan a week on Monday so I’m sure they will let us know what she is up to!
She is becoming more and more active which is lovely as you can see her moving on the outside of my bump too :) she’s better than watching the TV some nights.
Everything is getting organised in the nursery. We picked up a gorgeous second hand nursing chair on Gum Tree which I am so happy with and was a total bargain! It’s really completed the nursery. I’ve also packed both mine and babies hospital bags and been sorting clothes into organised piles and getting everything popped away!
Only 5 weeks left at work now, I’m very much looking forward to finishing now and have already been plotting with one of my work besties who just had a baby in January what we are going to get up to! I’m looking forward once baby has arrived to finding some lovely mummy and baby classes we can go to :)
