    I can imagine it's a hell of a ride, I'm counting down the days with you. Not going to the physio here, the OB says it won't help much, the pain is from the baby being so low and there's nothing she can do. I'm happy every week that passes :-). What I do wonder (sounds silly), if there will be enough room as she grows. (She's head down, feet on the left side, and bottom on the right side (below the belly button), everything above the belly button you can just push in and I don't feel any movement there, everything is down below. Or maybe she has enough room anyway. We'll see, take care of yourself x

    You don't need to worry about that, the baby will be cozy tucked in like that :-) It's exactly the same for me, always under my navel, very rarely above. Many people complain about rib pain and stuff like that, but I have absolutely no trouble with that. I had that with my other two, and I did skip a bit because of it. Be careful, it could still come, a lot of it, but not yet. Today I went shopping for two hours, really at a relaxed pace, pff I can hardly manage it anymore, lots of kicks at the bottom of my belly and quick hardening of the belly. It's a good thing we have everything for the baby now, I don't need to shop anymore :-) How are things going for you? When do you have to go back for a check-up? Greetings

    Yes, no painful ribs here either, but she sometimes stretches and that’s not so pleasant either. (But I’m already happy to feel her)
    Next week I’ll go to the shop again for the birth announcements, and then I’ll have everything for my girl, so I won’t need to go outside anymore. Good thing I have a terrace, so I can still enjoy the sunshine a bit. :-)
    Otherwise, regular pressure down low and an occasional hard belly. I have to say it’s going better now that I’m not going outside anymore, I mostly lie on the couch or sit down. (All as long as my son doesn’t need attention :-)
    March 3rd I’m due for a check-up again, hopefully everything stays fine because I don’t know why, but I’ve been worried for a few weeks now. The gynecologist tries to reassure me but can’t do anything about it. It’s probably normal, right? When are you due back?

    it's normal to keep worrying about it, I do too :-) I have to go back for a check-up on March 23rd, and this time the meter can come with me. I'm so curious about my girl, especially how much she weighs already. They can't figure out the length :-( I asked for it late, but Marja will see in 41 days Today I feel really great. I have some cramps and diarrhea, but everyone is sick, so it probably comes from that :-) The kids' room is cleaned, and I've already packed my hospital bag, which is one less worry I hope I keep feeling this good, super awesome!!!
    And how are you feeling today??? Greetings

    Heyla, things are going well here. Aside from the busyness and an occasional tummy ache, I can't complain. The little boy is also being very good, which helps a lot. Luckily, no one's sick here yet, but that could change quickly. Take care of yourself.

    Eraly: Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope everything's okay, and your baby is still cozy with you. Here we're counting down, and every extra week is a blessing. Went to the OB-GYN, and our girl will be small and delicate. Another thing I'm worried about. Can't go back for another 5 weeks, so hopefully she'll stay put a bit longer.
    Greetings
