31 weeks. How Low Can He Go?
The last couple of days I have been feeling awful. My back is starting to kill me. My contractions are coming but not strong. That does worry me because when I was in labor with Kam, I didn’t feel the contractions. I decided to call in and see if I could be seen sooner today. So they got me right in. I love my doctor office! I’ve started having a bad feeling that he won’t make it until April. Well I have not gained any weight since my last appointment 2 weeks ago. Amazing since I just ate 2 big pieces of cake on Sunday! My cervix is closed and thick still! YAY! Everything is tender though. I seen a different doctor today and she was sure it was a bladder infection. But that came back negative. She said he is incredibly low and most likely just putting pressure on everything! Well yeah I can feel it! The last two days he has made the move into my pelvis and it hurts!
Most people refer to this as “dropping” or “lightening”. It is comfortable because I can breathe again but uncomfortable because I have to pee all the time! I also have a little head wedged into body parts that most women don’t know about until this point! Another thing that starts to happen about this time is Nesting. I jumped into full nesting mode this weekend. Saturday I was sitting there and had the sudden urge to shampoo carpets and get the house cleaned. Of course I know I need to take it easy too. So the girls helped. We got a lot of stuff done and the dining room and living room shampooed. Sunday I spot cleaned the bedrooms and got my recliner done that sits in the nursery. When you really start the nesting process you will know it! It’s not something you just do. It’s something you HAVE to do! Stoney thinks it is funny because I will literally shake like a junky because I want to get stuff done and can barely move!
That makes me wonder. When did you start nesting in your pregnancies? If you were unable to do something, did you find yourself having a hard time fighting the urge?
Now on to the comparison picture! Last week and this week!
Youre still looking great! Like I said, Mr. Myles is trying to keep his Mama on her toes!!!

Myles is testing ya already Mama! Stay in there buddy! I remember “nesting” all throughout my pregnancy with Aubs it just got really severe once I hit about 30 weeks.

In your pictures you sure can tell he dropped! What a difference!
HEY! You shrunk since last week. Will you teach me that trick for the next time I get preggers? No..wait..can you teach me that trick now? lmao
Can’t wait for Myles! Guess I should get all the gifts together and send it soon huh?

You look great in both your pics!
I don’t think I ever started nesting–at least I don’t remember :/ Pregnancy brain, ya know!
LOL Stef! I look like I shrunk but the scale says otherwise darnit! The trick is easy. Do Jumping Jacks but it just makes everything go lower so keep doing them until they eventually reach your toes. WARNING: You won’t be able to wear shoes until you get it out!
Thanks so much everyone!
You look great! Hang in there! Remember, jumping jacks will only make you want to pee more! LOL
