Hi Everyone!
So I'm back with another pregnancy blog update! I have finally hit the end of my pregnancy and into my 30 weeks! As soon as I woke up and I was 30 weeks I really felt like I was 30 weeks pregnant! Even tho my pregnancy has gone super fast, I felt like I had been pregnant forever that day! I felt so tired and exhausted and all I wanted to do was sleep and lay in bed, Which wasn't possible as I was away in Queensland spending time with family and friends before my baby girl comes! What I didn't realize at the time was when my belly was hard every now and then and I was having some pain I was having Braxton Hicks! I always thought they were going to be painful but they weren't ( hoping contractions are the same haha) But everything has been going well, all measurements, heart rates, my blood pressure is fine! Me and my Partner started birthing and parenting classes, and I'm so glad we did! We have just so much more knowledge about birth after birth and caring for our daughter after she is born! We still have one more class but we really enjoyed it! If you are struggling with the thought of birth and having a newborn I highly recommend attending one of these classes it makes you feel 100x better about labor and delivery! So now I'm 34 weeks today! ( 23rd March)
How Big is my Baby: According to my baby app ( Pregnancy +) My baby should be between the size of a winter squash and a honeydew melon Length about 42-47 cm and at 34 week weighing in about 2kg
Stretch Marks: AHHHH I HATE STRETCH MARKS!!!!!!! why do they have to be pink and itchy seriously hate them! they have been so itchy and I have been so bad and scratching them and I noticed a spot under my belly on my underline where I had been scratching I have got little stretch marks! My skin is so dry and I know not to scratch but dam I had to! so I now have some fresh marks but still dealing with the ones on my stomach which is my main concern! I never really had a belly I was always flat stomached and had hips! being pregnant I have gone outwards not sidewards so my stomach has stretched!!! But I have been Rubbing just Bio Oil in and Parmers Coco stretch cream in every night and I was using the Frank Body Scrub until I ran out! but that has really helped the colouring!
Maternity Clothes: I have been buying more maternity clothes as the further I have been going through my pregnancy as my belly is sticking more and more out, I'm finding the maternity clothes are becoming more and more comfortable for me and my belly! I have said goodbye to my underwire bras and hello to my Maternity Bras, which are actually so comfortable! and Hello to big ass belly maternity undies!
Food Cravings: ALL I WANT TO DO IS CHEW ON ICE CUBES!!!!!! This is all that my craving is! Is chewing on ice cubes, I don't know what it is but it's all I want, I pacifically go through McDonald's to get a large cup of ice! I checked with my Midwife and she said it's normal and she went through the same thing! I thought I was going crazy and turned into a crazy person
Movements: Her movements are alot more, and alot more at night! I'm starting to notice what body part is what when she does move and punch me in the stomach! It's mainly her feet! But I love the feeling of her moving and punching me!
What I miss: I miss having breath, I run out of breath so easy now it's so hard to have a conversation! I miss not having a belly but I love my belly! I miss my size 12 clothes and I have really missed going out and having a drink at dinner!
What I'm Loving: I'm loving counting down and preparing all my baby girls stuff getting the last of her nursery ready and just preparing everything for her to come home and making sure everything is perfect for her!
Lifestyle & how it's changed: My lifestyle hasn't changed I'm still the same person, just abit more moodier and grumpy! I had a very chilled quiet lifestyle before I feel pregnant and I still have that lifestyle I still try and have a social life but it's becoming harder being pregnant!
