That’s all a pregnant woman needs during the last days while waiting for the baby’s arrival. Feet massage and tons of ice-cream! A good comedy movie will do as well. Any recommendations? Plus, this little kitten appeared on our balcony a few days ago and after we fed it once, it keeps on coming back. […]
Last night I had lots of period-like cramps and I woke up feeling as if something heavy had been sitting on my chest the whole night. I found it hard to breath as if I had smoked a package of cigarette, which I haven’t, I promise; I haven’t had a puff since I found out […]
This morning we went to Mater Dei and it was the first time I got connected to an electronic fetal monitor. The reason for this is to monitor and record the baby’s heart rate and the maternal uterine activity. An elastic belt was used to hold sensors against my abdomen and the monitoring lasted around […]
The last two days I’ve been experiencing pain that comes and goes every so often during the day and night, it lasts for about 1-2h at a time, and it is very similar to period cramping. I also started feeling some lower backache which I didn’t have so far during pregnancy. I always had […]
Oh how I wish I could feel what Erik feels and see how the whole pregnancy is experienced from his side. Every now and then I have a weird thought going through my head, that the experience of being born, seen from a baby’s perspective, might feel like dying. The only world a baby, my […]
Erik is a very quiet and peaceful baby; at least now in the womb. He usually never kicks when I am sleeping, or he just doesn’t kick hard enough to wake me up. He reacts to the environment only when I am awake and usually when I am in a sitting position. There had only […]
Today the day started with a very nice breakfast buffet at a nearby hotel. Roy and I woke up hungry and started contemplating what should we have for breakfast. We didn’t have much in the fridge so the options were either go to the super market, buy stuff and prepare something or go for the […]
[kkstarratings]After another sleepless night (4h of sleep in total) Roy and I went to Mater Dei for a casual check-up. Everything looks good and normal. Though, we have some news! Erik has taken position and his head is engaged. It’s been a few days now that I’ve been feeling some pain and annoyance down at […]
[kkstarratings] The days when I couldn’t keep my eyes open after 22:00 at night are long gone. I now find it harder and harder to go to bed and manage to get a descent sleep. I cannot sleep! If I go to bed, I end up turning around for a couple of hours. Left side, […]
[kkstarratings]At the moment I am wondering how Erik is going to look like. During the first months, when we didn’t know the gender, it was hard to picture him as a “baby”. When we found out that he’s a boy, it was hard to imagine how he might look like. Most probably because we’re a […]
