It's about 3.50am. Woke up at 3.30 with really bad acid reflux and a tummy ache.
I'm so tired and sat here in bed, propped up with Mark fast asleep next to me.
I'm really nervous about actually giving birth to Lilly. She's wiggling round in my belly all happy, and although I really want her out now, every time I get a cramp or something that's uncomfortable or a bit painful it gets me thinking about just how bad the birth pain and contractions are gonna be.
Eugh. This heartburn/reflux is making me want to be sick....

I know it's scary .. but just keep in your head that at the end you will have a beautiful baby girl in your arms. And any mother I have ever known would say they would do it all in a second just to have their baby with them. You will be fine!!! It's only 1 or 2 days in your lifetime.. it won't last forever. Have you found out if you will need a CS or not yet? xxx La
ReplyDeleteHey Hun. I don't need a c section now, so it's just waiting for her to arrive. X
ReplyDeleteWell tbh it's a good thing really! But for subsequent kiddies :P And you will know when a twinge is no longer a twinge and something more. Honest!!Not because it's more painful necessarily.. just different.
ReplyDeleteGraeme tried to come out face up, so what my first contractions felt like was pain in my lower back that could be timed. His head was pressing on my spine. However, when he turned, it was easy peasy.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, Shuv, I've had two things that hurt worse than having a baby -- a really back ear ache, and having my wisdom teeth out. You'll be great! (And ask for meds if you have to!)
I am on tenterhooks to read when the bump arrives into this world. Was thinking of you today when i was out for a walk and saw a dog that looked like Shadow. All the love,
