Diary of my pregnancy - Trimester 3

27 weeks Had my first of my fortnighly vists with obstetrician...baby lieing on bottom of uterus looking up...quite distraught when found out my ob would not be around baby delivery time Finished crocheting first outfit for baby including jacket... Busy organising invites for baby shower and preparing for xmas

29 weeks Had my fortnightly follow up with obsetrician...baby now face looking down spine up at ribs and feet down like curled in a ball looking down so hopefully its preparing to turn head down Still ongoing reflux and random middle of night wake up calls to either sore hips or just cant sleep Love being able to feel baby kick all the time but cant capture on camera Feeling quite top heavy and still waddling around..especially when tired or sore I waddle more...

30 weeks...crazily trying to finish all my work before christmas in week leading up...as well as juggling finalising some things for baby shower..yes baby shower meant to be organised by others in family but I have waited so long for my baby shower am excited and wanted an input...made some white chocolate rattles and booties to be my bombonierres..overwhelmed at response to baby shower as having it catered for (from voucher bought online ages ago) and didnt want food to waste and thinking christmas holidays a lot wont come well majority of people coming....eeek...40 people coming...
Furniture damaged items replaced this week for nursery
Having trouble sleeping again and I have had uterus stretching early on but definately felt my braxton hicks contractions..thankfully only random and nothing to worry about...just stops me in my walking path..
baby appears still in same position as still getting kicked in my vagina and bladder...but still loving feeling baby move around ..

32 weeks - Im officially in the 8 month...what a wonderful feeling so surreal...I loved carrying around my beautiful xmas present and being pregnant..cankles have hit and also fluid in the wrists...baby has slightly moved but head still not engaged...OB thinks the fibroid is still in way and needs to lift out of weigh for baby head to engage.....feeling rolls of limbs now more then kicks but still getting kicked in the nerves down below..nursery coming together...need to wash cot cover etc and put wall decal up...

34 weeks - all is good baby is head down good sign

36 weeks - Im now officially starting my weekly visits.. but baby has turned back to transverse...the fibroid still in way but hoping and praying baby turns and goes under it to engage....there are risk for caesar with this fibroid we want to avoid...but baby being transverse if I go into labour also risk of rupturing membrane as feet are down near cervix..who thought being pregnant could get so complicated but I trust and know in good hands and pray baby will turn to avoid both risk...
