We are now 2/3rds of the way through our pregnancy with only 89 days to go!
I'm still primarily in non-maternity clothes except for a few shirts. I have worn my maternity capris a couple times but they are still quite baggy. Hard to believe since I've gained about 18-20lbs.
My uterus is now the size of a basketball and Liam is the size of a head of cauliflower-
14.5 inches long and 2-2.5lbs.
He is breathing better (amniotic fluid, not air) and experiencing increased brain activity.
He's opening and closing his eyes and hiccuping regularly after meals.
His movements are becoming more defined as he's running out of room in there.
As we prepare for the last 12-13 weeks of this pregnancy I find myself becoming more and more uncomfortable. While I've still been able to exercise and lift weights I have not been able to do jumping movements.
In addition, I've had a few boughts of nausea and even got ill several times last night.
My hips have gotten achy by the end of the day.
I've had increased pressure and Braxton Hicks.
Moreover, my tailbone has been really bothering me. I'm not sure if it's how he is lying or my hips loosening and prepping for birth but sitting directly on it cause quite a bit of pain. I have to either be lying or standing to not have some sort of pain there.
Hopefully my doctor will have some answers at my next appointment.
Until next time...
