I don't think baby wants to hold in much longer. She's been very active this last week, and I started having some painless contractions yesterday. They weren't uncomfortable at first, in fact I barely noticed them unless I felt my belly; But as the day went on into night, they started to get uncomfortable, sometimes a bit painful. Before I went to bed lastnight I noticed my belly had completely changed shape -- instead of oval, I am VERY round -- she is farther out front, but also farther out my sides, and she appears higher. I have a beachball belly. She's been extremely active all day -- in fact she's worrying me because she keeps doing summersualts. She's turned herself twice already in the last hour that I've been up, it's like she can't make up her mind -- please please just be head down when the time comes..
It feels like something is pushing down hard on my cervix (makes me walk like I've been horseback riding lol) and I keep getting this "fluttering" feeling, like a bunch of butterflies batting away inside, down fairly low. And the way she is moving around inside I'm finding myself uncomfortable and sometimes in pain.
I don't think she'll be in there much longer. I couldn't go to the dr on tues because I caught the swine flu last week, but I have an appt tomorrow and we'll see what she says. They think I'm due on the 3rd (9 days from now), but my own calculations put me on the 28th (4 days from now)..so it will certainly be any time now..
