Liam has not "engaged" or dropped yet. I do get sharp pains right at my pelvis area under my belly but they aren't contractions. I'm pretty sure it's just round ligament pain because he's getting heavier.
I've been reading a book on the "Bradley method" of natural childbirth. It has been a very interesting and inspiring book! Now I don't plan on doing completely medication free but I do feel like its helped me prepare for the pains of childbirth that I will be feeling before I get the pain meds. My goal is to stick it out for as long as possible, we'll see how THAT goes right?! Lol.
I have NO stretch marks on my belly. None! Weird huh? I dont even have that line thing that preggos get sometimes. But I DO have some stretch marks on my hips and breasts. I can live with those :)
I am currently having these cravings: soda, candy, water, and fat. My only saving grace is the water. The other ones have made me gain weight which I have started watching again. But sometimes I just need a cheeseburger! Haha. The water helps to balance me out a little, but I get the most thirsty right before bed. This is a problem because I am up 2-4 times a night using the toilet. Not to mention the tossing and turning I do all night due to discomfort. Only 4 weeks to go! We'll have to wait and see. I'm also very thirsty throughout the night and morning.
Here's a picture of me at 36 weeks. I'm grateful that I'm getting bigger because that means Liam is growing nicely. Grateful for the little things! Can't wait to meet my little boy :) excuse my jammies, I don't care how I look most of the time lately :P
Your belly has definitely grown in the last couple weeks. But it still doesn't look like HUGE. I didn't get stretch marks on my belly with Lyla till like the last week of my pregnancy. I got them pretty much everywhere else. Then with my last two babies I got some more on my belly.
