37 Weeks Pregnant
May
11
My baby is now full term and all-though I would rather the baby wait until at least 2 more weeks to be born I feel ready to not be pregnant anymore.
On Saturday I had a midwife appointment. I was concerned that I had actually lost weight since my previous appointment but the midwife said that it was normal for women to loose a little weight at the end of the pregnancy because you often don’t feel like eating as much. (In our world of weight loss product obsession it is not normal for women to worry about loosing weight but of course us pregnant women worry about everything). I know I need to eat more though, because yesterday I didn’t eat much and then felt very dizzy this morning. I’ve ate several small meals/snacks today and I’m feeling better.
Next Tuesday we will be setting up our room for the home birth. My midwife will be bringing over a birthing tub, we will have a stack of clean towels and our birth kit. This will make having a baby feel so real. With Sariah and Rebekah the reality of having a new baby really hit when I saw the nurse set up the warming table and birth kit in the hospital.
