I cannot believe that I am now three-quarters of the way through this pregnancy now. It only seems like yesterday that I found out that we were expecting again. Yes, there may have been many (many) hurdles in between, but now I can see the finish line and know that our baby will be here soon.
My sickness is easing now but heartburn is still prominent and getting worse all the time. I feel as though I am just downing Gaviscon at the moment to stop it from burning. And of course, the pulled muscle in my back is still playing up, causing pain but I’m trying not to think about that too much.
I have felt that baby hiccup loads recently. I think it may be down to the fact that I am drinking fizzy drinks and maybe it’s passing on to him but I’m not quite sure whether that can happen, and to be honest, I still can only drink fizzy drinks so it will probably be like this till the end now.
It’s getting to the stage now where sleep is very disturbed. If I’m not waking to pee every hour, then the baby wakes me up having a play or heartburn flares up, so as you can imagine, it is quite hard at the moment to focus and get things done because I am constantly tired.
As for bump, should be weighing in at around 3 pounds and be nearly 16 inches long. He may be now piling in the fat, ready for entrance into the big wide world, but he is also losing the fine lanugo hair that covers his body.
I don’t see the midwife now until 34 weeks and so shouldn’t really have much to update on between now and then. If I do though, you lot will be the first to know.
Ask your doctor for ranitidine, its a life saver for heartburn! My friend whos a nurse told me about it when I was pregnant with Cody x
Beautiful bump! Only ten weeks to go now… (unless you go overdue like myself – 10 very long days)
Not long left! you look great
I remember when I was pregnant,I wanted as quick as possible to have the baby in my arms,but when she came it was so hard for me to weak up in the night.It is a hard work.
Not long left now – it'll all be worth it in the end!
Fantastic photo, I think women look great when pregnant.

You look fab, hang in there it will all be worth it in the end 🙂
You look fab hun. I am 27 weeks and finding it hard to sleep at nights. I sleep on my right so my hip hurts really bad so I am rolling about everywhere. Do you have any wisdom for me hun? X
I remember the heartburn only too well! Hot chocolate made a nice change from Gaviscon.
Never suffered with heartburn so i was lucky. Had my second child early – at 34 weeks . So pack early & don't get caught out!
i am 22 weeks, and the heartburn is sooooo bad!!! it keeps waking me up at night, thank goodness for gaviscon!!
Ooh this is so exciting! 🙂
It's such a shame about the heartburn, I get it quite a lot and it's not fun!
