31 Weeks Pregnant...Bump Diary.

bumpdiary31weeks

I am a little bit behind with my bump diary as Christmas and fun have made me be lazy at uploading the photos- I am 33 weeks this week so in a few days time it will be time for a new entry- but still it is nice to make sure I include it every 2 weeks.

So I have reached the 30's, I can't quite believe that I am now in single figures until we meet our new little person. The first 20 weeks seemed to go so slowly but now it is going quite quickly, which is good because as much as I love my bump and feeling her kick, I can't wait to have her here with us.

This week has been quiet in terms of pregnancy. I had a midwife appointment where I was told I am now measuring exactly according to my dates, whereas the last one I had I was measuring 2 weeks ahead. However it was a different midwife this time, so you can never be sure as obviously ideally you would have the same one each time.

I am still unsure about my birth choice, but ultimately I think I would like a c-section. I have fears for it because I know what to expect this time, and I also know how I felt afterwards, the first few days were just awful- but I think that you want to recreate the birth you had last time if it was perfect- and our c-section was wonderful. However I won't say I am not scared about the thought of going through a major operation- I guess time will tell on what I decide. I know that natural birth is 'natural' and that women are geared up to birthing babies, but there are lots of things to consider if I decide to go for a VBAC, and I still just don't know what to do.

We haven't bought anything else for Bug the last two weeks, bar an adorable swaddling blanket from the Gro Company, as we had a couple with Mads and they worked wonders. We have just started to decorate Mads new big girl room- we have cleared everything out and Mr E has painted it- just waiting for the furniture now which may not arrive until February.

I feel quite achy and tired at the moment, especially after a day running around after Mads, but I have found out at my last midwife appointment that I am anaemic and my iron levels are slightly low- this could explain it. I am now on iron tablets to hopefully build up my levels- I didn't have this with Mads, but it could explain why I am a lot more tired than I was.

I can't believe you are 33 weeks already! Thats like literally just a few weeks away from having a new baby! It doesn't feel like hardly any time since we were messaging each other nervous about our 12 week scans! How exciting, I am hoping the weeks fly by now Xmas is out of the way. I have been freaking out about the birth lately, think I am going to try for a home birth, mainly because I want the opposite of last time but I can completely understand why you would want to go for a c-section again and I really do find the knowing when you will be having a baby such an appealing factor of it. Especially when you already have a toddler as it's so much easier to make arrangements. I hate the not knowing when it's going to happen. Bump is looking fab too! xx

  I know it definitely seems to be quicker the second half. The first 12 weeks dragged so much, in fact up until 20 weeks it dragged and then all of a sudden it seems to be flying by. I just want it to hurry up and be February! x

You are looking so big and round now! She may be bang on her dates now but that looks like a nice big bump to me. So exciting now you're getting so close. I know she's due near my little mans birthday, and with him I feel like we get Christmas and New Year out of the way and it's his birthday before we know it. X

I still think I am measuring ahead, but I think sometimes with different midwives they measure it slightly differently- I have a growth scan at 36 weeks so will be able to see then.
I hope it goes quickly, I have a horrible feeling January is going to drag! x

You are looking lovely, and I really don't think their measurements are all that accurate. I feel like we have bought far too much for Squish but I can't resist all the adorable baby bits! Our pregnancies are certainly going too fast so make sure you enjoy these last few weeks as much as you can!

  We have bought quite a few little babygrows and a new swaddling blanket, but that is literally it. Although we really don't need a lot, we got a double buggy to review and had the rest of it. The main job is to do Mads new big girl room which currently has been painted but that is about it! x

You look amazing. I wish I looked that good. Glad you are keeping relatively ok. I was the same as you with regards to the birth and was given low odds of being able to delivery naturally so went for a c-section. Got my date so fingers crossed I don't go early. Take care lovely and loving your posts. xx

Gosh I can't believe it'll be time to have bug so very soon. I can completely understand your decision to want a section - I think I would lean towards one too simply because of what went wrong last time. I know I'm going to be aware of so many things I wasnt last time, I think I was in some kind of bubble then just thinking you push a baby out and you're all done. You have excellent support around you so I think those first few awful days would be bearable and they'd all look after her when you needed rest etc.
