Nearly 40 weeks and I am so done with being pregnant. It goes without saying I can’t wait to meet our little (or big!) son but I’m also looking forward to being able to walk again without wadding. I feel like I’ve been waddling since 28 weeks. I’m so so large. I didn’t realise at the time but I was actually ‘ skinny’ before being pregnant and now I can’t even feel my collarbone.
Did the ‘emptying’ of your baby immediately after birth give you a feeling of being lighter? And the loss of placenta? I know swelling and general weight can take much longer but I’ll be happy if I can just actually walk and exercise again without feeling like a sumo wrestler.
Anyway - nearly at the finish line and so excited. They say walking encourages labour but I can barely walk to my kitchen without feeling like I need to sit down
