Yo-yo Sophie
Well, it seems like Sophie is undecided about facing the world. At my recent doctor’s appointment, she has managed to “undrop” after my false alarm at 37 weeks. Even the doc said he was quite disappointed about this!
Besides, she’s not even that “big” anymore. Since she now measures smaller than a European baby, although still chunky at three kilos, she “should” fit in my cervix.
Prego acupuncture
I even started prego acupuncture to help Sophie head down south! Geez, I didn’t realize those needles go down deep inside your body. It was really weird to see the midwife stick needles into my legs and arms without feeling a thing … ok, a couple did hurt a little. After the treatment, Sophie was moving like crazy and was quite active throughout the whole day. I started to wonder if she didn’t feel tired and needed to sleep!
Anyway, I’ll now have prego acupuncture once a week and studies also show that it reduces labor by two hours. I guess I should continue walking and doing physical work (aka, cleaning, arrgh!) so that gravity can pull her down towards the exit! Well, at least now that the weather is cooler, I can go to town more often. It’s more fun to walk around while window shopping! If she still doesn’t buldge, it might be more tricky to have a natural birth.
More last-minute pampering
Well, since Sophie is still cozy inside my belly, I decided it doesn’t hurt to have a spa pedicure. Ah, it was so relaxing!
My prego outfit
At 38 weeks, I’m running out of clothes … and shoes (boohoo!) … to wear. Many of my dresses and tops are now tight. Funnily enough, I even thought that my baby bump was actually shrinking, but I guess not!
Until my next post … take care!
