My baby is messing with my head!
After the doctors appointment two weeks ago telling me my baby was unstable, I was told last week that she was head down and engaged. After feeling two lumps on either side of my belly yesterday, I rang the hospital to see a doctor instead of a midwife this week. And what did she do last night?? That’s right, burrowed herself down again. I mean, it’s nice to know that she’s doing it, but it’s seriously messing with my head (not to mention I feel like I want to throw up when she does it).
Soooo, today I’m off to the doctor to explain that I’m not an idiot, or a panic merchant, but rather an aware mother who knows what her child is doing. I hope.
And while every person I meet is full of useless helpful comments: “you look like you’re carrying low” and “you must be about to burst”, this child moves around so much that it’s hard to figure out what she’s doing. Like, trying to beat Grant Hackett to a spot on the 2008 Olympic swim team or just wanting to use my cervix as a bouncing caslte or trampoline, or trying to claw her way out.
Even now as I type I can feel two little hands and/or feet seemingly using my bladder for a punching bag. Aren’t the movements supposed to slow down in the last few weeks?
Maybe if I went back to bed, my little devil angel baby would have a rest too? Or is that just wishful thinking?

My middle child was so active right up till birth that until about three hours before labour they could not get a trace on her signs as she was moving too much.
Sounds to me like she’s trying to find the exit. You’ve got that hospital bag packed and standing by the front door?
My heart goes out to you.
I always thought I’d love being pregnant - till I was! Nothing to complain about - text book pregnancy x 2. BUT……..I hated it for the very reasons you’re at the end of your rope now. I wanted the little darlins OUT and I wanted my body back!!
Hope it’s all over soon (((hugs)))
