I'm 36 weeks today. Lots of Braxton hicks contractions on and off but I am just now half a centimeter dilated. I did have regular contractions for about 1.5 hours one evening but they went away. I looked back on my records and I was the same amount dilated at this point in both previous pregnancies. Hard to say when baby boy will come. I hope he's earlier than his sisters were but also pray that whenever he's born he's healthy.
Baby boy is very active. He always has a foot or something tucked up under my right side, causing a considerable amount of rib pain. Just like his sisters, he's face up (not really how he's supposed to be). My midwife says it may just be the shape of my pelvis.
I've gained about the same amount of weight with this pregnancy as I did with my others. I did try to compare pictures and my belly is definitely bigger this pregnancy. Hopefully he's not too much bigger than Gemma was (7lb 15oz).
Considering induction during week 39 if he's not here yet, due to my history of precipitous labor. So if he does come earlier, pray that we actually make it to the hospital heh 😏.
Getting excited!
Good luck with whatever happens! I also pray for an easy and healthy delivery! <3
