How Far Along: 35 weeks now.
Size of baby: I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts.. diddly-dee. Actually, I've got just one. I feel like her head alone is the size of a coconut right now, especially since it feels like it's threatening to fall out with every step I take!
At this point, your unborn baby should be positioned with her head facing down toward the cervix and vagina. About 97 percent of babies have adopted this position by this point; the rest remain in what's known as breech position -- when the butt or feet are in place to come out first. If your baby's among this minority, it does increase your odds of needing a c-section, but there's a good chance your healthcare provider can correct the problem by turning her around manually with pressure applied on your belly. Called an external version, this process has about a 65 percent success rate.
Symptoms: Tired; sore; cranky; irritable. Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions, peeing like a fiend & being visited again by my old friend, constipation. Ah, joy. Also irrationally weepy at anything baby-related.
Cravings: Still with the apple and blackcurrant juice.
Gender: Girl, Girl, Girl. Confirmed once more at last week's ultrasound; we actually saw more developed girly-bits.
Movement: Pressure down below, butts and bellies bulging out on my left, and lots of kicks to my right.
Maternity Clothes: I'm worried about fitting into a lot of my dresses for much longer. Everything feels snug/tight.
Milestones: I got to see {bits of} our little girl again at the growth ultrasound, and hearing that she's doing well with all of her organs looking good.. well, that was a huge relief for me! Jase got to be there too, which was great.
The belly: Happily growing away. Not a lot of growth in the past week, but I'm hoping she'll keep on dropping.
