I'm beginning to experience an increased level of discomfort. Im having hard time trying various positions for sitting, sleeping and carrying items that is best for me. I feel like my ligaments is being stretched. Sometimes, I experience a sharp pain in my lower back that moves down to my legs also known as sciatica.
My baby probably weighs around 2 pounds and about 14 inches from head to heel. Pretty big huh! He/she is beginning to respond to noises and my voice, generally more aware of its surroundings. I am beginning now to envision how Im giving birth-- the hospital, the nursing staffs, my ob-gyn, the people around me, the pain, my fears and apprehensions, the joy and excitement of seeing my newborn. I'm all but excited I guess.
Part of my excitement I believe is knowing that this event in my life has been anticipated for a long time especially by my daughter. I remembered when I was a kid and I found out the news that Im having another sibling, someone who will be younger than me, and who will call me "Ate". Im so excited that I had anticipated what she'd call me in the future, lol. Unfortunately, my younger sister didn't call me "ate" , instead she called me "payatot" for I am skinny than her when we started growing up. I rarely heard her call me ate, perhaps, payatot has been her way of reminding me that I will always be her big sister who is skinnier than her. But of course, time has passed and that is not the case anymore especially when I got married and had one kid. But within the family, I think I will always stay the same and would always be payatot. My bone structures are kinda smaller than they do. But kidding aside, that sister of mine has grown up to be tougher and sweeter than I am and Im so proud of her like the rest of the family. You see, this is all part of hormone rollercoaster ride Im dealing nowadays. I miss my family back home esp my nieces and all the little things we do as a family. On a lighter note, Im excited in our house hunting journey and we pray that the result will be overwhelming. Everything I know shall come to pass thru God's help.

Pelvic rocking is a great exercise to relax the back, strengthen the pelvis for labor, and reduce stress. To rock your pelvis, stand against the wall with your knees slightly bent and, as you inhale, gently press the small of your back against the wall. Exhale and release. Repeat ten times.
