Questions?: no
Week's Successes/Challenges: I'm just feeling huge and awkward. I'm walking daily, but that's about it at this point. Hip and sciatic pain has actually been better lately, since baby dropped (weird), but I'm really just at the point where I can't wait to get back into working out after baby (I know that's a long way off still). I was not this uncomfortable with my first, and the dramatic drop in activity for me since I was so much more active in early pregnancy this time than I was with my first pregnancy, is frustrating. I thought I would do south better starting off at a better place this time, and staying super active well into second tri, but then the hip/sciatic stuff sidelined me and I feel like I'm worse off than I was at the end of my first pregnancy
Okay, rant over. I know my body will just gain what it's going to gain. I'm looking forward to feeling more like myself and getting back into running again though, that's for sure!
GTKY: If you don't have a RCS scheduled, what date do you think your baby will actually come (vs your due date)? I honestly have no idea. Worth my first I was POSITIVE I would go overdue and I did. This time, I could see going a little early but I also don't want to get my hopes up.
