I currently need a body pillow. And some more room for my lungs.
Sleeping is becoming increasingly more uncomfortable. I might be going out next week to buy a body pillow... I tried to improvise with a large, strategically placed blanket last night, and I ended up overheated and tangled. Not pretty.
I am also not breathing so normally these days. Since I'm carrying a little high, I think my uterus is pushing into my lungs a bit, and it's making me feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen. I'm constantly trying to take deep breaths to compensate. I have found that if I'm sitting and I lean to my left with my right arm straight out, I breathe normally. I cannot explain why that is... but it's not exactly easy to work in that position, so I just have to do it periodically to relieve some of the pressure on my lungs.
I honestly feel like I'm getting bigger by the day (and the scale agrees). The little guy is doing all sorts of crazy gymnastics inside of me... Not that I'm complaining about that! I love feeling him move all the time. I think I may have even felt him roll over the other day! It felt like a series of limbs hitting me all over and was enough to make me gasp. Stuff like that is worth the non-breathing and non-sleeping, I'd say. :)

Not glad you're already feeling uncomfortable, but glad you're savoring it. It sounds fun :)
ReplyDeleteat least he is high. wait till he drops down and all those fun aerobics are turning into trampoline jumps on your bladder. heehee. yeah, you will pee your pants at least once. dont be ashamed. it happens to us all. and the lung thing i can totally understand. i had to lay in weird postitions propped on many a pillow to A) be comfortable, and B) breathe.
ReplyDeletenever bought the body pillow but ifound that i could use the boppy pillow in a similar way. so if you bought one of those, that may help!
