Getting bigger and bigger (36w update)
I don't know if it is possible, but today I kept bumping into things
again, which is usually a sign that my belly has expanded even more. I am slowly starting to feel like a homo giganticus... I did some measurements: hips are 123cm, waist is 123cm, fundal height is 52cm. And that is a very optimistic measurement, since I cannot feel my pubic bone very well, my arms are getting too short... DH also took some neat pictures of my enormous bump. I am down to 2 pairs of pants, and one of those is really getting tight. Since a few days I am having lots of BH and some nightly contractions, but nothing serious. With DS I had this for a week, and I just read that with a second pregnancy these symptoms start earlier, and are more pronounced. The contractions disappear as soon as I get up, but they are waking me up, causing me to be very tired during the day. At the next check-up (tuesday) I will ask for some sleeping pills, so I can at least get enough rest. Good news: my back is back to normal! And more good news: everything is ready for the babies (room, stroller, car seats, dad, grandparents) except for myself. I feel so good, they can stick around a bit longer. -- --I mommy to DS (July '02) mommy to four tiny angels (Oct '03 - Oct '04) guardian of DH (age classified) expecting twins (boy/girl) in August |

It sounds like your body is gearing up, Ilse, and that is terrific. Good news: my back is back to normal! And more good news: everything is ready for the babies (room, stroller, car seats, dad, grandparents) except for myself. I feel so good, they can stick around a bit longer. I'm so glad you are feeling so well and your back has returned to normal!! It sounds like things are good to go and now you can relax and enjoy this last week or two. -- Joy Rose 1-99 Iris 2-01 Spencer 3-03 # 4 Sept 2005 |
