Midwife appointment in 3,5 hours.

They always happen at home, since I'll striving for a home birth. This is somewhat annoying though because that means I'll have to at least scrub the floors first 😩

How far along? 37+6

Total weight gain/loss: I think I might have gained a little

Maternity clothes? Yes! And nursing clothes 😂 though I’m not nursing anyone yet

Skin changes? tiger stripes are really itching! Also I sweat a lot. Like SO much. Especially on my back. I’ve got the moisty back of a gamer at a LAN party

Sleep: I have had a couple of days with decent sleep. But I dream weird dreams

Best moment this week: My midwife appointment. She spend a long time showing me how they estimate baby’s weight

Lowest moment this week: The hot flashes

Movement: All the time. Sometimes I feel sore from it

Food cravings: Pancakes

Food aversions: Garlic

Morning sickness/Nausea: None

Something I physically couldn’t do: Close a pair of pants

Leakage: I pee my pants when I cough. Not like ‘emptying my bladder’ pee. But it’s still annoying. The milk leakage is still happening. I try to see it as a positive thing, but it’s really hard at times.

Something I bought: A pram! Well. We got it home at least 😂 and by home I mean ‘we are keeping it at my bonus family’s place until birth’. It’s a bad omen to get it home before birth. There’s an old saying that goes something like “if you prepare a place, where the child is going to sleep (like a bed or pram) before birth, it will be still born”. Not that I’m usually superstitious, but Meh 👆🏻

Any labor signs or new weird pains?: The BH are getting real tight.

Any swelling? Noooo
