When I was pregnant with my first I always rolled over onto my tummy in my sleep, right up to the very end of my pregnancy. It was so strange and so awkward to wake up laying on my gigantic belly with pillows stuffed all around me.

took a nice nap without the kids.

dinner was okay, I'm sure it would have been excellent for anyone without a food aversion to everything. DS (6) loved it that he ate as much as DH

Yay!

I still sleep on my back and tummy My back really didn't bother me ever with #1, and not until I was super far along with #2. I've already got the "dozen pillows in the bed" syndrome though

um... anyone else think about their baby like non-stop. I know this is our rainbow and I have wanted kids since I was a kid... i milked DD for all it was worth and was probably one of the most euphoric pregnant women ever I was so happy to be pregnant with her.... I just can't believe that after four years we are finally gonna have another!!! I know some people wait/try even longer but man I just think about this little one all day long. I can't wait to start feeling a bit better so I can start enjoying every little detail!! I am already over the moon!!!

Yes, I seem to be always thinking about baby! It it really anti-feminist and against our society but I have always wanted to be a wife and mama ahead of everything else. I went to college a d grad school and did the career thing but I feel like this is my true calling.

Unfortunately, though, I have been extremely panicked about labor, delivery and postpartum with this one. I had a long labor with DS and complications afterwards which had me in and out of the hospital for about 16 weeks after I had him. I'm terrified of having a repeat experience or even dying in childbirth. (I had to have surgery after having DS and am now at an increased risk of uterine rupture and postpartum hemorrhage.) I know it is rare but it scares me. I'm really trying to just pray a lot and give it all to God but my fear is overshadowing my joy some days. I have talked to my doctor about my concerns but he wants to wait and see until closer to time to make a call re: c-section or vaginal delivery. Hopefully we'll have more answers in 7 weeks re:the likelihood of pp hemorrhage. I'm praying the placenta is not near my scar as this would make me much less likely to hemorrhage. I am really just praying for a normal labor, delivery and postpartum all around.
