I feel like a stuffed turkey

posted 15th Feb
That's the best way I can describe it. I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow, and the last time I had an ultrasound, LO was measuring over three weeks ahead. The thing is, I-myself-am measuring right on time. I guess I'm just venting about being uncomfortable, but I feel like he's all scrunched up in there, and when he moves it knocks me off my feet a little bit (he's also VERY active) Walking for any length of time is already hard, sleeping is impossible, and sometimes, he presses up against one of my blood vessels, dropping my blood pressure and making me feel like I'm going to throw up and pass out at the same time. He's also learned how to burrow in my ribs, which is a great feeling all on it's own, I'm sure all of you know. lol

Next OB appointment is on Tuesday, and I'm terrified they're going to tell me he's like 6lbs already. I really don't want to have to have a c-section, and thinking he might come early on his own because of how big he is and how small I am scares me to death...  

By the way, yes, I have juvenile diabetes, so that's why he's so big... My blood sugars have been basically perfect though, and my A1C was 5.5 the last time it was checked... so I really don't know what I could be doing wrong.  

(Edit: Sorry to post and run, by the way.)

I feel like a penguin. Walking sucks. Today I could barely walk because I couldn't put much weight on my right leg without feeling a great deal of pain in my hip. Oh and having feet constantly in my ribs and either his foot or knee being jammed into my belly button. Fun times...lol

And I'm sorry you have to deal with juvenile diabetes, sounds stressful

Ugh. I hate the penguin walk... those round ligament pains are hell.  

What's worse is that my SO has actually told me that he believes most of my pain is probably just in my head. Um... no sir, I have (most likely by now) a 5 pound baby inside me. It hurts.

And it's definitely stressful, especially because now my OB wants to see me every week until the delivery...
