Week 27


Week 26 of pregnancy - complete, now we have begun the 27 week. Little Eggy's kicks and jabs are feeling stronger than ever. Since the space is getting tight in the womb, I seem to tell when baby is awake and when asleep. J We haven’t felt any hiccups yet. I’m not sure when I started to feel them with Guinny, but once they started she had them pretty consistently. My whole belly would have a slight bounce or jiggle every few seconds for minutes at a time. Sometimes they seemed to last all day. I know that it’s normal so we’ll see if this little one gets them too.

Well that means we’ve reached the final week of the second trimester. I find that some old symptoms are creeping back, such as fatigue and frequent urination. Also, groin pains and Braxton Hicks contractions are increasingly evident. I guess at this point I should expect to feel them on a regular basis. Beyond that I am well and focused on getting some projects complete.

On the emotion side, I have found myself weepy or easily tearing the last few days. Sensitive and sentimental to say the least - oh, who would have thought I’d be such a softy? The wonders of motherhood; I have more patience then I ever expected. It’s not too bad at all!

  1. Wow! Week 27, where did the time go? I hope to soon feel eggert's kicks, jabs and hiccups too...

    Feelings of fatigue may be considered normal but you are pushing yourself with working full time and caring for the home as well! Be very careful not to exhaust yourself -- Go to bed early and get your sleep! Prioritize your projects and accept that you can't get them all done...

    Yes, the wonders of motherhood has really brought out a sensitive and patient side of you, even with the weepy and sentimental teary moments I think that is for the good -- obviously it prepares you and many mothers for parenting roles :) I myself had so many things going on in my life; illnesses for example, I can't really say what was from pregnancy or not. But I can tell you I loved being pregnant! :)
