Will be at 31wks tomorrow, but previous pgs had complications - it was questionable whether this pg would make it this far, so am a bit stunned. Still doesn't feel quite real.
I have back problems, which mean I've been housebound for nearly 2 months (and on v.strong painkillers). Hard not to get depressed about that sometimes but will hopefully improve post-baby. Physio says not much that can be done.
Not looking foward to next week, as have a 'regular' visit to family planned. 4 hrs drive each way (DH driving after a long day at work), then cleaning & peacemaking, before the drive home. Seem to need a wee every ten minutes, so the motorway is going to be v.stressful! Family have always refused to come visit us, saying they are too busy (even though we work longer hours & further from home), or their children are too young to cope with the journey, even though they are much older than ours. Can't keep doing this - I work some weekends (next ones at 33 & 35wks) and am not getting to have any fun with my family. Just knackered all the time (even when not pg). Extended family (on my side, DH's are fairly reasonable) seem to have the view that I chose to move away (yeah right, I chose to get a job - and then follow where the work was - oh, and marry someone who was not local and who they didn't know (shock horror - how COULD I do such a thing!)), so OF COURSE me and my family should LOVE to do all this travel and other stuff. I'm whining now, so will shut up.
Next scan is just after 32wks. A bit nervous, as if the previous problem shows up we'll need to change hospitals (so experts on hand) - BUT if all is still normal, there is almost no chance of this baby having the scary condition.
Having been 'granted' an ELCS I do wonder when it will be. V.nervous about the prospect of going into labour beforehand, as I have never had a successful natural one.
