I keep looking back at when I was pregnant with Lydia for some sort of advice or relief as to what to expect in this pregnancy and notice that I did not record much about it...so I'd like to take just a minute and write down some things just so that if/when there's a next time, I won't be surprised when my belly button feels like it's going to tear open and have to think, did it really feel like this last time?
So a note to self; some things to remember:
At about 8 months prego, the pelvic area will be in great pain...for the rest of the time and it will just gradually get worse, like your hips are going to break apart. Just keep walking!
Your belly button will stretch out more than you can imagine is possible...don't worry, it never ripped open..
With Lydia, you rarely felt any contractions prior to the actual day, but with your son, you felt them all the time.
Hiccups will always drive you crazy. Some women love to feel them...not you, so just breathe and try to think of a happy place those several times a day that the babe gets the hiccups.
Try to get silky sheets and silky pajamas next time because when you have to turn from side to side in your bed at night, it is sooooo SO difficult as it is because you're big, and your hips hurt to move, so limit the friction as much as possible.
