It’s been awhile since I have updated on my pregnancy, reason being because there wasn’t much updates to be written in a post!

However I have officially reached my 36 week mark, and I only have 4 more weeks to my Estimated Due Date (EDD), and only 1 week till full term! I am hoping to pop around my 37 to 38 week because I am already feeling so sick of being pregnant 😫😫.

Increased Bowel Movements I know previously I have mentioned that I couldn’t stop shitting, but recently I have been loose bowel movements at least 3 times a day without eating much! I read that this could mean your body is getting itself ready for labour, so fingers crossed!

Pelvic Pressure Now, it actually feels painful when I get up and walk about. Especially seating on the desk for hours and suddenly standing up, I do struggle to walk to the loo. Of course, having to brave through peak hour makes it alot unbearable.

Cramps!! The amount of cramps I have lately has increased in intensity. It’s not intense enough to regular enough to be flagged as labour contractions, but argh it is painful.

Lightning Crotch I’m not too sure about the best way to describe this, but I will try my best. I have been feeling a strange pulling sensation in my vagina. It isn’t exactly painful, just almost like an electric shock if you will. It makes me stand still for awhile because it feels like something is about to come out… It’s just a really strange feeling. I read this could be because the baby could be starting to engage!

Hip Pain and Cramps I guess this is pretty similar to pelvic pressure, but these aches and cramps I am having also disturbs me when I am sitting or lying down. Could be the baby trying to get into position and expanding my pelvis, but it is super uncomfortable.

I’m getting increasingly tired at work and it doesn’t help that I am rushing for a submission without much help for production work. I’m hoping to get some hospital leave so I don’t have to use my maternity leave just to get some rest before I give birth, since in Singapore we only get 4 months of maternity. Someone even with 4 months I find it so cruel to leave a 4 mth old baby to go back to work! At least 6 months seems more reasonable as the baby is at a more mature stage in his/her development. Oh wells, life in Asia.

I have been drinking my raspberry leaf tea! It is believed to have shorter labour and sworn by many moms world wide! It’s tasty too 😁😁.

I was previously hospitalized, for having a low placenta which made me bleed slightly (I know scared the hell out of me). But at my 35th week obgyn visit my placenta is not that low anymore! Baby is in position too so I would be able to have a natural birth.

So I guess now it’s just the waiting game!! Everytime I pee I look into the toilet hoping to find my muscus plug. Oh I am so ready to get Krispy Kreme out and into my arms now!!
