This morning I was 179lbs, I have gained 23 pounds at 35 weeks pregnant. Im starting to get very uncomfortable! My baby is now head down, she flipped last week. Ive got little feet jammed in my ribs and little fists beating me down low. This baby feels very long, Im looking forward to seeing how big she is! She should be about 5 and a half pounds by now and a full length of nearly 20 inches! Born now she would need a little time in the NICU for a little help breathing, two weeks until she is classified as full term! For us that is Christmas day! As I said Im feeling pretty uncomfortable these days, my uterus feels like it is pressing on my ribs and lungs. I feel short of breath a lot and I have gotten back my first trimester morning sickness it seems. Its not uncommon apparently in the last part of pregnancy to start having tummy issues again. There isnt much room for food and such with someones feet jammed up in there. Ive got some serious heartburn again, which I remember from my other two pregnancies. Ive been following the regular recommendations, small meals, nothing spicey or acidic but blech! Nothing helps besides regularly swigging ant acids! But it wont be long now until my insides feel cavernous. Once the baby is born everything will be back to normal.
