35 week update with pictures

ANGWife · #1 March 31st, 2009, 03:49 PM

Had my 35 week appointment today. OB checked my cervix cause I'm still having a crazy amount of contractions. While my cervix is alot softer, I'm still 100% closed. Week 35 has brought hemorrhoids, belly stretch marks, and terrible heartburn. It's amazing to me how I wake up in the night (not had a thing to eat for like 6 hrs) and have such bad heartburn I have to elevate myself. I definitely feel like I had it easy in the beginning of all this and now it's catching up with me. Sleep has gone down the crapper and my feet/ankles are so swollen and painful. I feel so completley ready for this baby to come. Is it wrong that I want him early?

Oh and I gained 5 pounds just this week alone! Alot is water retention (doc thinks) but it still makes me feel like a cow. Up 30 pounds total! Here are some 35 weeks pictures. BTW I had my baby shower last weekend and I'll be uploading those pictures soon!

Umm - hello - I don't see any stretch marks on that pretty belly of yours....the girls are right..it's not that huge looking...you definintely are in no way "cow like"! I think you look fabulous! It's not bad to want him early....its so hard to wait at the end...and with some of the lovely pregnancy affects at the end i think every mama wants their baby here sooner than later. Give it a couple weeks and you'll be at the point where he's considered full term and you can really have about zero guilt in wanting him out!

Can't wait to see the baby shower goods!

haha they are underneath my belly button area. I guess next week I will be brave and take a frontal picture.

Thats a perfect bump! Those feet do look uncomfortable....try going out and getting some compression socks! NurseStation Large Product View Put them on BEFORE you get out of bed in the morning and they will make a big difference in your feet---they are made to help with circulation when your body doesn't have the strength to do it on its own. Also--keep those dogs up, drink lots of water and even do cool foot soaks when possible with some peppermint oil in it. And once you hit 37 weeks get some great lower leg massages!

Your bump is so perfect!!! Your poor feet, you need to go get a massage! I got stretch marks under my belly button area too. Both your finger and toe nails look very nice btw!
