Week #36: It’s so sudden!
Yes, I know what you’re thinking, I’ve known now for about 250 days now that I’m pregnant, but I still feel like it was just yesterday. I’ve had a really great pregnancy so far, knock on wood, sans the nausea (but I honestly don’t even remember that now), and I’m really thankful for that. I’ve said all along that I don’t mind that it takes 9 months as it’s so much to take in, so much you need to get for the baby, and then there’s the thought of labour.
The past week has been a little too much for me. I’ve gained 11 kg (24 lb.) and I feel heavy! And this is before the serious water weight sets in. So I actually said that I didn’t mind if the baby came last week. But I lied.
We went to the last preggie yoga session last Tuesday. It’s for couples and how the men can support the women, and how the women can breathe through the contractions, and positions to relax and stuff like that. And it was then it really dawned on me: I’m really gonna give birth to this little baby inside of me. Like, really, give birth. Through my you-know-what. And it’s gonna hurt. A LOT.
But I’m hoping the pain won’t be unbearable, and I’m planning to give birth without any pain medication. Uhm, that’s the plan, at least. What I’m trying to say is: I’m a bit freaked out right now.

i am like you.. planing and hoping not to need an epideral, but … well you never know. my sister in law had her baby with no medication for pain, so it can be done. i am such a wimp though. good luck to you. i’ve gained 25 pounds so far. but hey, we’ll lose them 
You’re only a week behind me then! I know a lot of people who didn’t get any pain medication, but talking and thinking about giving birth is not the same as actually doing it, so we’ll see
