Midwife appointment was yesterday at 38+4. I spent the whole appointment in a weird mood and crying on-and-off (for no reason). 😹 Midwife said it was normal since my husband was concerned. I’m so insanely hormonal lately.

She didn’t check me; she would’ve if I had asked but I wasn’t in the mood. However, while measuring belly and checking heartbeat she informed me I was having a contraction. I literally thought it was baby stretching - apparently I’ve been having contractions for days (possibly weeks!) without knowing it. 😳

I didn’t know that was a thing.

I’ve been walking, bouncing on my yoga ball, eating pineapple and spicy food, drinking raspberry leaf tea, and even tried nipple stimulation. Just getting some crazy cramping but nothing else.

Next Friday, I’m having the OB doing a membrane sweep (I’ll be three days off from 40 weeks).

I can’t wait to meet my baby girl. I’m SO uncomfortable. I can’t recall the last time I slept more than three hours at a time. Maybe January?? (I’m dead serious.)

Thank god I started my maternity leave a day ago. Working in patients mouths was killing my back. My belly also would poke them in the head 😹😹
