Holy Crap.
Only 1 week to go!!!
Went in for my antenatal appointment yesterday and saw the OB and pretty much straight off the bat she said she was moving my Induction forward as I have diabetes and it should be done at 38 weeks not 39. So it is what it is and I am totally freaking my pants off.

It’s awesome knowing when she will be roughly arriving into the world tho! I can have everyone around me (or nearby) right when I need them to be!!! And who wouldn’t want their family around them at such a time??!!

I am happy that I only have 1 more week of Gestational Diabetes and Insulin Injections to go. I really want to stick to the diet that I have been on tho!! I couldn’t recommend it enough I am not going to miss the back pain, crap sleep, acid reflux/heartburn, tiredness, breathlessness or the daggy/boring clothes though!

I am scared.

I am excited.

But mostly I am scared…..

for the baby to come out now.
Bedtime is becoming more and more undesirable, as the quality of sleep I am getting is rubbish. And I don’t even have the baby here yet. I hate it when I hear “it’s getting you prepared for when your baby is here”. That is BS. The reason I am having bad sleep is because I am pregnant and I wake up every 2-3 hours with acid reflux and the water I drink at those times is waking me up also, as I am busting to go to the bathroom. I can’t sleep on my back. I can’t sleep on my right side (my fave side) as it’s quite painful for me. And my hips are really painful every morning now too. I won’t be going through any of those things once the baby is born. I will be going through a whole new set of feelings along with tiredness.

Anyway, there really isn’t anything I can do about it. I am just very lucky that I don’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn to get ready for work. I am able to sleep in a little while to try and get a couple of hours of decent sleep in the bed alone.

I will hopefully be seeing an OB this week as well as the Diabetes Educator. I am thinking of asking for another ultrasound to get an idea of how big baby is as I am totally freaking out since my last appointment. As I was measuring quite big. I am also thinking of having some reflexology on my feet done as I have read/heard that it can help bring on labour….. so we will see.
