T - 1 Week
So I am officially 39 weeks today... I can't believe it's almost the end of the road and the little monster will be here any day. I had a pretty long and tiresome night. I felt pain/cramps beginning around 3am and they were coming and going sporadically - enough so that I could never fall back asleep. It made me more anxious because I thought maybe this was it at times, but it wasn't. When it got bad, I thought about waking up Freddie, but he was in deep sleep and I didn't want to wake him up for a false alarm. It finally died down this morning and I ended up not going to work and working from home. I've felt the pain randomly throughout the day and the pressure in my pelvic region and belly is really intense today. He's still moving so I'm not sure if it's a result of that or not. I feel like I'm on pins and needles today because I don't know what is going on and this is my first baby. I am physically feeling so many things, but nothing is for sure. I'm pretty sure I am not in labor since the contractions are not consistent, but I do believe I am having contractions. Who knows - this could take a while and be like this for days from what I've read from other mothers on my online board... It is so uncomfortable and really painful at times... And I've been feeling a bit nauseous. I feel like throwing up, but haven't yet...
I think this is the worst part of the pregnancy thus far. The discomfort, random pain, not knowing when or what is going to happen... I'm supposed to work the rest of the week, but whether this baby comes or not this week, I don't know if I physically can! I need to lie down every other hour!
