Gut Feelings

Emily

36 weeks + 5 days! I woke up at 6am which is unusual for me and I can’t go back to sleep. I have a feeling I need to get the last of my preparations done today or they won’t get done. I just have a gut feeling that I could go into labor any day now.

Here is what’s happening and of course I know that none of these are truly signs of labor approaching but...

-baby has dropped even lower and I can barely stand up without feeling like I have to pee

-I’m having dreams that I’m dilating

-lots of back pain

-diarrhea

-intensified anxiety

-nesting like a mad woman

And to top it off my dog will not leave my side. She’s a complete daddy’s girl and usually isn’t clingy with me but the last two days she wants to be right by my side and she keeps laying her head on my belly which she has NEVER done.

I guess only time can tell me if I’m right 🤷🏻‍♀️
