I am writing but feel like I have nothing to say. Everything seems to be going perfectly and smoothly about my pregnancy. I guess I have to take Iron supplements as my iron level is too low, but no big deal. That might explain why I felt tired at times, even if I am over my three months.
I am having my full echography at the beginning of August and am quite exited about that. We will find out about the sex of the baby then. We will be getting a DVD of the echography and will be able to see the baby in 3D! I just can’t wait to go.
Last week I dreamt that I was in labour to give birth. I woke up totally scared and started to wonder what did I get into… I have never stay overnight in a hospital, or had any operation of any kind. I just don’t want to think about it too much, but I know that in the end, everything will work out, and all the moms go through labour to give birth, including my mom.
A friend of mine was sharing her breastfeeding experience with me. I definitely want to breastfeed. There are so many benefits to it for the baby and the mom. But I know not all moms are able to do it. All I’ll do for now is preparing myself by reading about it and finding out about people who will be able to help me when the time comes.
My husband and had rented a cottage for our vacations as I mentioned in my previous posting. During these vacations, I managed to get my finger caught in a mixer (I was trying to mix some cream to have whipped cream to put on my fresh berries…). My middle finger looked pretty bad. My husband took such good care of me, cleaned my injured finger, disinfected it and took me to clinic nearby. My finger is finally slowly getting back to normal, but I got so scared at the time. My belly was in pain, and I think this might have been contractions that I had. I was worried more about my baby than anything, because of the contractions, and because of what the doctor might give me as medication if the injure is bad enough. In the end everything went back to normal and I didn’t need any medications.
This made me realize a few things. Of one, I feel like I am loosing a bit of my focus to be getting my finger caught in a mixer like I did. Also, I really am not alone in this body anymore. Anything that happens to me happens to someone else as well. It’s a big responsibility to have, and I guess it’s just starting, as it will go on after the birth. And lastly, the middle finger really has is utility and not being able to use for a few days makes life more difficult. I thus really appreciate more all my body members.
On another note, I started my prenatal yoga classes last week. It was enjoyable. It is funny and weird to do the shoulder stands, thinking that the little baby is moving around in the belly. I can’t imagine how it is going to be doing the different poses when I’ll be 30 weeks pregnant. But I enjoy it so much, and I think it is such a gift to give to my baby, to bring myself to a peaceful state, as my baby will benefit from it I am sure. I also plan to continue the yoga class with my baby when he will be born.
