Dear Bean – Week Twenty Nine

Dear Bean

29 weeks down, only 11 to go! Midwife appointment this morning went well, bump is measuring spot on, I’m still feeling pretty good other than the intense back pains at night {that’s apparently due to diastasis recti}, unfortunately, I don’t think there is much I can do about that until after the baby is here.

Other than that, everything is going to plan. I’m kind of all set for Bean’s arrival. I have birth plans loosely in place, and am excited to have the support of a fantastic doula. One big thing that has been weighing on my mind was the whole ‘giving birth on my own’ thing. Obviously, they’ll be midwives here, but I wanted some support that was just for me. That for me has been the biggest worry about being single and pregnant.

I feel like I shouldn’t wish these last few weeks away, but I’ll feel so much better I think once he is here and in my arms. I’m really not enjoying pregnancy this time around. I’m sure all will be good once he is here, but right now it all feels like too much.
