Week 32

Week Thirty-Two!

How far along?
32 weeks and 5 days pregnant today!

How big is the baby? (info for weeks 29-32) 
Baby is now the size of a Winter Squash (Pumpkin)

Weight approx: 2.5-3.8lb

Length (Crown to Heel): 38-42cm

Maternity Clothes?
Sooooo basically being off sick means that this week I have mostly been in my new pyjamas. Lovely. When I have had to leave the house I have been in my new jogging bottoms and massive hoodie. So basically been quite comfortable this week (clothes wise!).

Sleep?

Sleep has not been fun this week. When I move in the night I tend to wake up because of the pelvic pain. Once I am awake it can be hard to settle again, then I need the toilet. Have definitely found it good to take paracetamol before going to bed, it helps me settle at first. Had a lovely lie in this morning, lay snoozing in bed until 12! (making the most of it!)

Best moment this week?

Of course the best moment this week has been seeing the baby again on the scan. Those scans are always pretty magical. Although this one was not the best as you don't see much as baby is so big, we did get a clear image of a yawn etc... which was really lovely. Another great moment this week happened approximately half an hour ago when my husband lay his head on my tummy and heard the baby's heartbeat! He then got my stethoscope and we both heard baby's heartbeat loud and clear! Super amazing!

Symptoms?

Pelvic Girdle Pain has pretty much ruled this week. I think it's starting to get better then I stand up and am reminded that it's still very much there. The biggest test this week was walking from the car to the hospital ultrasound appointment. It was very painful and it made me realise that I am probably not going back to work. After sitting and waiting for the scan, manoeuvring myself on the bed and walking back to the car I was in agony again. Took a few days to settle too. Then after ante-natal class yesterday I am still suffering, and that was just sitting on a chair. So depressing. Will have to see if the doctor will be signing me off again this week. :-(

Heartburn has been a little better this week which is good, no other pregnancy symptoms currently plaguing me so fingers crossed for that to stay like that for week 33!!!

Food Cravings/Aversions?

So this week I managed somehow to stay the same. I haven't been a great tracker but I have tried not to eat as much crap. However yesterday, the day before and today have not been great. I didn't have a craving for anything yet but there was one day where I really fancied some ice cream....

Gender?

Hmmm this week... girl boy boy girl boy girl...

Belly button in or out?
In In In In... totally gonna make it to term with an innie!

What I miss?

Missing lots of things this week:
- being thin
- laying on my front
- being able to walk
- exercising
- sleeping
- being able to hold a wee

What I'm looking forward to?
The next thing I am looking forward to is... BABY SHOWER!!!!!

Milestones? 
Well 33 weeks was the next milestone as it is pack the hospital bag week. That starts in 2 days so I think the next milestone after that will be 37 weeks which is when the baby will be classed as "full term"!!!!

Bump?
Bump is getting bigger, harder and more uncomfortable! I swear it gets bigger as the day goes on!
