37 weeks pregnant!

I am finally classed as full term ☺ only 22 days till my due date i cant believe its so close. I have to say these last few weeks i have really struggled, i am in so much pain all the time.

How far along: 37 weeks.

Symptoms: So much pressure now she has dropped so low. Mini contractions. Pain in the top of my stomach where her foot is wedged in. Heartburn.

Weight gain: i have gained a total of 27lbs. I started at 10 stone and im almost 12 so im happy with that. At this stage last time i was up to 13 stone.

Appointments: I actually missed my 35 week doctors appointment because Sofia was in hospital for 3 days with hand, foot and mouth. I had my 36 week check up in the clinic on wednesday and they started to talk through the next few weeks. They werent happy with the constant pain ive had in the top of my stomach for a few weeks so they sent me to kilkenny to be monitored.

In the hospital they hooked me up to a monitor and baby was doing great i was even getting mini contractions. They put the pain down to position of the baby and that it was her foot. They said i will have it now till i deliver because her head is already engaged so she probably wont move.

Next appointment: I have my 37 week doctors appointment wednesday and then the following week i am back in the clinic. I have been getting my bloods done at every appointment because my iron has been so low.

Labour signs: so many now im constantly getting pressure and pains but nothing regular yet.
