SUCK!
That is all I can say. Currently, I'm having a lot of discomfort in my hips and my groin. Apparently some of the groin pain is just pulling of tendons and stuff. I read that the pain is from all the moving and expanding going on down there. The round ligament pain is from ligaments pulling and stretching as your body starts to expand.
Its tough. I was feeling it a lot last week, and I grew a lot so I'm not really surprised that I was feeling so much stretching. I'm guessing I'm still growing more, which makes me feel good that Baby Bean is doing well in there.
But they are annoying and sometimes painful because they can make me really sore. Even laying on my side doesn't help because then I'm putting pressure on some other ligaments. It's like no matter which way I turn, they feel sore.
I shouldn't complain really. I'm so thankful for this gift the lord has given me. It truly is a beautiful miracle that I've been given. There are times that are tough, and things that hurt and bother me, but I love this baby inside of me more than anything I have ever loved before. Its indescribable the amount of love and connection I feel to this child. I don't want to see ungrateful or unhappy about being pregnant or anything...because honestly it is the most amazing experience I've ever been through. Its definitely different than what I imagined it would be...but I also never would have imagined how amazing this would feel and how connected I would be to the little being inside me.
Its a crazy concept to think that I'm growing a human. That Scott and I came together to make one being. That a little of me and a little of him hold the key to this thing I love so much. I wonder who he or she will look like. Will he have Scott's big eyebrows? Will she have my blue eyes? Will he have Scott's dark hair? Will she have my lips? I wonder...and most of all I wonder...will he or she be healthy and happy?
Will I be good enough...?
34 weeks!
Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
