Pregnancy: Week 31


Officially going into my 31 week of pregnancy today, 9 weeks left before the due day. Those who have been journeying along with me through the pregnancy must feel the time has gone by really quickly, waiting and expecting with excitement!

My belly grows bigger in a faster pace this last trimester, especially these few weeks. Baby moves around a lot, it amazes me by watching the movement of my belly and knowing that there's another human being inside! Baby also responds to hubby when he talks to the baby~ I have quite good appetite recently, but once awhile I'd have acid reflux causing the burning sensation on my throat. Eating less bread or carbs definitely improves. I've gained nearly 20 pounds by now, the heaviest I've ever been! Don't know how many more pounds I will get within the next two months.

I rarely sweat before and I was afraid of cold but now my body temperature is high and I sweat all the time. This September was extremely hot. The electricity bill for last month triples.... Because I had to turn on the AC the moment when I wake up in the morning. I sweat so much during sleep and I didn't use a blanket for a long time...Had leg cramps three times during sleep, it was so painful. It's hard to find a comfortable sleeping position. I can only sleep on my side, 45 degree on the left or right. It's not as easy as before to turn. 

But praise the Lord, my heart is full of joy, no serious discomfort at all. A lot going on this month with doctor check-up and some classes, including breastfeeding, basic infant care, and maternity hospital tour.

Thank you all for your care, encouragement, and prayers!

今天正式進入孕期第31週,離預產期還有9個禮拜。陪著我一起懷孕的應該覺得日子過得很快,跟著我ㄧ樣帶著興奮期待的心情!

懷孕後期肚子大得很快,尤其是這幾個禮拜,baby常常在肚子裡面滾來滾去,看著肚皮動來動去的,真的覺得有另外一個生命在肚子裡真的是太奇妙了!而且每次老公跟baby說話的時候他都有反應喔~最近食慾很不錯,只是有時候會胃酸倒流,喉嚨就會很痛,發現少吃麵包澱粉類的就會改善。目前體重增加了將近快20磅,是有始以來體重最重的時候!剩下的兩個月不知道還會重多少。

本來我很少流汗,也很怕冷,現在體溫很高而且超級怕熱。尤其這個九月好熱好熱,上個月的電費是平常的三倍,因為我ㄧ起床就一定要開冷氣,每次睡覺都全身是汗,已經很久沒蓋棉被了⋯小腿曾經在睡覺的時候抽筋過三次吧,超痛的,睡覺姿勢也約來越難"ㄑㄧㄠˊ",只能測睡左邊或右邊45度,換邊的時候也沒像以前那麼簡單了。

但是感謝主,心情都很好很喜樂,沒什麼很不舒服或受不了的地方。接下來的這個月有產檢,還有要去上一些課程,包括餵母乳、基本嬰兒照顧、還有參觀醫院等等。

謝謝大家的關心、鼓勵、及代禱!
