37 weeks pregnant
I’m 37 weeks pregnant, that means I’m officially full term which is really exciting!! If you missed my 36 week update be sure to check it out!
Weight 67.7 kg (that’s +1.1kg in one week eeek!!)
Here’s me this week
I’ve had my final midwife appointment on Praslin this week, all went fine. I will have one final check up near to where we are staying on Mahe and then that will be it before I check in to hospital to meet baby boy!!
With going to Mahe this Sunday I think this may be my last bump update!! I’m not so sure of our internet access there, if I can get one in next week then of course I will! If not I’ll probably still write it and publish it when we get back to Praslin. That will definitely be weird since we will have our little guy by then but it will be nice to look back on it later on!!
Bags are partly packed to go now, I’ve not packed anything for myself yet though!! This week is rolling through so fast, I feel like I’ve got more time then I really do!!
We are going to get all toiletries for baby and me on Mahe so it’s one less thing to fly over with! But, as usual it’s pretty much been left to a last minute thing!!!
I am ridiculously uncomfortable most of the time now, and my energy is totally zapped! I don’t know how I’d be coping if mark wasn’t home right now!!
Sleep is continuing to be really broken which is not ideal but I guess it’s preparing me for night feeds!!
I’ve had some really painful Braxton hicks contractions where they’ve literally stopped me in my path. I never had anything like this with Arthur, I guess because he was breach where this little guy is head down so there’s more pressure!?
Anyway I try to remain calm when it happens, but I’m not gonna lie, I freak out a little each time!!
Arthur has been giving loads of kisses and cuddles to my tummy mostly accompanied with “ahhhhh baby” which is so cute!
He’s also been saying “touch” as in touch the baby because we’ve been telling him that the baby will be here soon and showing him where he will sleep and all the little clothes!!
So, here’s this week’s countdown to our Caesarian and meeting baby boy!!
It’s actually closer to one week now, we are so excited!!
So, hopefully I can do one last bump update next week if not I’ll be back…..with a baby!!!
Eeek so exciting!! Good luck lovely if you’ve no internet while you’re there and I’ll be keeping an eye out for pics very soon 🙂

Wow I can’t believe it’s almost time. It feels like we both should be in week 20 something. Hope you manage to get some good sleep though. I think I’ve hit that tiredness wall too and I am barely able to do anything for a few hours then I need a nap. I may have had a quick half hour in the cinema today! 😉
