Since I had wanted this blog to be a blog of everything I experienced during my pregnancy, I feel as though I may disappoint since the process was so smooth for me, and i didn't have a ton of pregnancy symptoms.
In general, I have felt pretty good these last few weeks. I've noticed that the baby dropped just in my physical appearance - I never really had the shortness of breath or rib kicks, and I don't feel a significant increase of pressure on my bladder, although it is somewhat noticeable.
In the afternoon, after work, I do notice a soreness on the right side of my pelvic area. It sort of feels like a bruise or like I got kicked, but on the inside.
At night, I can sleep pretty well. I usually feel the most tired and sore at night - but it doesn't prevent me from falling asleep. The first few times that I wake up to pee are the hardest for me because my body is still sore and recovering from the day. Typically it is my hips that are sore, and sometimes my lower back. As the night carries on, it is easier to get up.
Usually, I can fall asleep with no problems. If I can't fall asleep, it has been because I have a million thoughts in my mind that I just can't seem to let go. I've been up for hours with my mind racing - but this usually only happens a few times a week, if that.
I have definitely been sleeping more - usually going to bed at around 9ish.
All in all, I feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a wonderful pregnancy.
Oh - here is a funny thing - the other night I was trying to roll from one side to the other, but the baby was all stretched out and stiff, and I couldn't twist my torso in order to turn - it was a pretty funny feeling!
