People keep asking me if I'm ready to give birth, and I always say no- because he isnt ready to come out yet, and I'll be ready when I hit full term at 37 weeks.

The last few days have been so uncomfortable- the MW told me he literally has his butt wedged under my diaphragm and his legs/feet pushing into my ribs. I knew that already! The heartburn is horrible but manageable with zantac, but yesterday there was nothing I would do to get his out from my left rib. By the end of the day I was in so much pain- I spent a lot of time in the "cow" and "childs pose" yoga positions and sat on the birthing ball leaning forward which helped, but eventually that hurts your hips.

I cant sleep at all at night the last week- if I lay on either side the ribs on that side hurt even more, I guess just from gravity. I cant lay on my back of course (not that I can even breathe that way) and belly is obviously not an option. I was trying to sleep semi-propped on my back, but I'm trying not to recline in an effort to get him to turn.

Last night I went down stairs and started crying on DH, telling him I was getting ready for Kyle to come out! :( I'm exhausted and pained... I dont want him to come early, I just want to be 40 weeks already! (well, ideally- I'd be a day past birth lol). Just farst forward me to the part where he's born.

I think the exhaustion caught up with me though, I slept SIX straight hours last night! I couldnt believe it. I think the tiredness outdid my rib pain (although it hurt like hell when I got up) but I feel MUCH better having slept.


Birthing class starts Wednesday 6 more weeks to go...
