I'm getting closer and closer to my due date. There's about two more months left until my Son arrives.

Week 30 has been a long week for me. I have been feeling pain which makes me very uncomfortable.
My pelvic area has been hurting. I feel like I've been on a horse or something. It hurts to walk at times. It's never a pain that last for hours. It comes and hurts for maybe an hour then goes away and comes back later.

The doctor told me that it's just pressure from the babies head being down there. As time progress it will probably get worst and not better. I'm not looking forward to that at all.

Every time I eat I get a burning feeling in my throat. It hurts plus it feels so nasty. I know that the baby is taking up all the room in my belly which is forcing my stomach and stuff to be higher up. It's like the food is just sitting in my throat for hours.

I still have some swelling of my hands and feet. Besides that issues that I've stated, I'm still moving alone!

As most of you know, I had a breast reduction January 11, 2013. It was needed because my breast were large and they were causing me to have back, neck and shoulder pain. My recovery process went smooth and I've healed up well.

I received some useful information from Dr. Elizabeth Harris & The Center for Cosmetic Surgery. If you are thinking about having surgery but have not done any research then here's some great information for you!


Less Is More: The Benefits of Breast Reduction

 

Most people are familiar with the concept and motivations behind breast augmentation surgery. However, another fairly common request made in plastic surgery of which many people are not aware.  Successful breast reduction surgery demonstrates that sometimes less really is more.

 

While many women want to augment the size of their breasts to create a more pleasing contour, others have found that their breasts are too large or have acquired an unpleasing shape. A special procedure in cosmetic surgery allows surgeons to remove varying amounts of breast tissue. The results leave women with breasts that are still generously proportioned but attractive as well.

 

Women's breasts sometimes cause pain due to natural development or age. Other times, childbirth and breastfeeding can lead to breasts that hang pendulously and discomfort women with their burdens. Fortunately, this issue can be solved through breast reduction.

 

How Do Breast Reductions Work?

 

The standard and most popular form of incision used to perform breast reduction is known as the lollipop. This creates less scarring than any other approach.  Surgeons cut around the border of the nipple and also make an incision straight down from the nipple to the inframammary crease. Excess breast tissue is removed through this incision.

 

Sometimes, women with very large breasts must undergo an anchor incision. This includes the lollipop with an added horizontal incision that runs along the inframammary crease. With either approach, breastfeeding may be difficult in the future due to the damage to tissue surrounding the nipple.

 

Benefits of Breast Reduction

 

·         Appearance

Breast reductions do not simply remove breast tissue. The removal allows the breasts to regain a certain contour that lifts the nipples higher. The results are breasts which look much more attractive.

 

·         Comfort

Very large breasts are burdensome. Their weight can cause significant back pain, which breast reduction can help alleviate.

 

·         Freedom

After breast reductions, many women report happiness at being able to do many things without their oversized breasts getting in the way.

I had my final 4 week prenatal appointment this week. I will now start going for my prenatal visits every 2 weeks. When I reach 36 weeks I will start going for weekly visits. My prenatal appointments are pretty fast. I meet with a midwife and she checks the babys heart beat and measures my belly.
Just being able to hear the babys heart beat is always a wonderful experience for my husband and myself.

You can see the baby moving by looking at my stomach. My husband can now feel him by touching my stomach also. This started last week. It's like the baby moves all day now. He still gets really active around midnight.

I haven't had any cravings this week. I've actually slowed down my eating because I haven't had much of an appetite these past few weeks. I have to make myself eat my meals and my healthy snacks so that me and the baby can get our nutrients.

I've done more to the baby's nursery this week then I've done the whole pregnancy. I think I'm starting my nesting phase early. I also prewashed about a weeks worth of his newborn and 0-3 Month clothes. Some of his clothes look so tiny. It's been a while since I've been around a newborn baby so I'm not sure how small or how big to expect a newborn to weight but the newborn clothes look super tiny.
