@ 35 Weeks

Had my 35 weeks check-up today and im a tad disappointed. Peanut is still growing well, now weighing 2.6kg and gynae made a surprising discovery. Apparently Peanut has a head full of hair, so opp of what i imagined. I thot shes going to be folically challenged like me but apparently daddy's genes are dominant in her i guess. Actually wat i was disappointed was despite the horrible aches n pains ive had these past weeks, Peanut is not least bit engaged. She's dropped v low and in a birthing position but her head is not engaged still. While ive heard cases where the baby will slowly descend during labour, those cases usually resulted in a v long labour which is so not wat i wanted. And if she should engage in e new few days, wat i fear most is e pelvic pain. Its horrible as it is. Cant imagine how much worse its gonna get if she drops lower coz i still haf to work till 4th oct. Ya Allah pls make it easy for me.

Anyway ive made a note of e symptoms im having these days..

- My bump looks much lower and everytime Peanut moves there's this sharp shooting pain in my vajayjay
- braxton hicks everyday and it's getting painful, sometimes happening more than once a day and 3 hours long each time
- with every braxton hicks, my stomach went rock solid and I literally can't feel Peanut move
- It's very difficult for me to change sleeping position at night coz of my heavy tummy and pelvic pain.
- Yesterday morning, I woke up with a swollen right foot and ankle. Today I realised my shoes feel tight. Why of course, both my feet and ankles were as huge as my v bloated face :(
- I'm walking painfully slow still
- im having frequent bowel movement like 3x a day
- i jus realised i had some vaginal discharge while peeing jus now.
