34 week Pregnancy Update

October 7, 2012 by Larisha Campbell 10 Comments

34 Week Pregnancy Update

I can’t believe only 6 weeks left.  It’s seem so crazy to think it’s going so fast! Throughout the pregnancy I’ve only updated once or twice a month, but I am going to try to do every week from here on out!
This past Thursday, I had my 34 week appointment and everything so far is going perfect.  Our little girl’s heartbeat is very strong. I had only gained 1lb since my last visit 2 weeks ago.  This makes me happy because if you remember from my last post, I had gained 1lb more than I wanted, so I’m right back to my goal!  Total right now is 29lbs!  Since the baby is gaining approximately 1/2 a pound a week now, I should be gaining about a pound a week!

I took this pic this morning and when I saw it I was like WOW!  I always feel smaller than what I look like in pictures! I have been having some Braxton  Hicks contractions for about a week and a half now.  They aren’t painful at all yet and some only last 10 seconds, while others have been up to 2 minutes.  On Friday, I freaked because I was having a bunch, but I drank a bunch of water, laid down, and they would go away.  Every time I got back up, they would start again, so I rested a lot that day.  If I walk a lot, I have them more, so I have tried to not go to the store for very long or do anything else that will bring them on more often.  I need a few more weeks to prepare!!

Other symptoms I’m having:  I have been nauseous a few times in the past week and also having some cramping later at night too.  All completely normal and my body just getting ready. I have also been nesting a lot more.  All of our cloth diapers are prepped and cloths are washed up.

I’m working on some more projects, that I will keep you updated on soon 🙂

Thanks again for reading and following our journey through our first pregnancy 🙂
