Back To You - Changes The Very Last Weeks

You can expect some more changes the last weeks of your pregnancy. You’ll be heavy and anxious to give birth by now. It may seem you’ve been pregnant forever. You’ll also be tired and need more rest. 

One day, you may notice a difference in how you are carrying the baby. This is when the baby “drops” or settles down into the bony part of your pelvis. When this happens, you might be able to breathe easier. (Sometimes this won’t happen until you are ready to deliver.) 

Your breasts enlarge even more near the end of the pregnancy, and milk may start to seep from them. Your appetite may be gone altogether, and you may be nauseated again. Pressure is sometimes reported in the vaginal area, and you may feel the need to urinate frequently. Mostly, you will feel heavy, clumsy and out of patience with pregnancy! It’s about time to stop “expecting” and start getting on with the business of birth!
