This week, I feel like I have to go to the toilet more frequently. Like this morning before going to work, I pee-ed twice, then upon reaching office, I have to go pee again. It's only a few drops of pee but don't know why I keep on having these frequent toilet visits.
I'm not sure if this is what mommies refer to as lightening as my tummy is not high to begin with (at least if I compare it with other mommies). Few of my colleagues also mentioned that my tummy looks low. Some people until now, still asking me whether I'm having a baby boy because I have a sharp tummy. But weird leh, coz to me, looks round.
Baby is still moving alot but the movements are kind of different. She can elbow me and jab me now. Some people say when the baby grows bigger, there's not much space for them to move and will be quieter but it seems to be different for my baby. It's also quite difficult for me to walk very quickly now and quite impossible to run after the bus or jump up and down.
Now, whenever she jabs me, I will ouch and let her finish her movements before I can walk again because at times it can be quite painful. Or when I am lying on the bed and she starts to move about, I cannot turn my tummy to the other side. Have to let her finish what she's doing, then I turn. Aiyooo my baby don't know how come so busy. LOL.
But it's good that she is active too. At least I know she is safe and well and STRONG.
Papa seems to be more excited about Baby's arrival. It's only a month away and we can carry her in our arms already. I'm excited but at the same time anxious, scared and at a loss.
Anxious when the day comes - don't know whether I can take the contraction pains, whether my waterbag burst will embarass me (sekali break in the mrt!)
Scared - really scared of the pain, scared that things screw up, scared that I cannot cope.
At a loss - hope that the confinement month will be good. I have all the information from antenatal class and all the necessary knowledge from the other mommies, I need to be more assertive of what I want for myself and Baby.
