Preggers stuff again!

So i was visiting one of the pregnancy forums i've been frequenting these days and wrote up a reply with advise for someone who wanted it. I think it's probably the most i've written in a while so i thought i would cheat and copy/paste it here too. Obviously i doubt any of you will need this advise but i do think it's a good example of my mindset right now:)

For those who think they are small for 33 weeks, give it time it'll just jump out at you in the next few coming weeks or you may just be one of those lucky few who don't get amazingly huge!

The doctors were worried my bub was too small, Ultrasound yesterday proved he's fine and actually a week ahead in size development yay for 6 weeks instead of 7!

Getting up to go to the loo 4 - 5 times a night is frustrating, but not has bad as a few weeks ago when i was getting up at least 10 times a night, do what i do or at least try it and see if it helps! Figure out what time you normally go to bed and stop drinking large amounts of fluids about an hour before. That way you'll go before bed and even though you will be still up a couple of times in the night it won't be anywhere near as urgent and you'll be getting up less!

For the back pain my Physio was amazing, she's helped so much with only a few simple exercises! Look up stretches and exercises for pregnant woman to relieve say, back, hip and leg pain, you'll be amazed at the difference!

I'm so excited and can't wait for bub to be here. I'm a bit nervous about the c-section though! hopefully recovery time is good. Good luck to all of you expecting shortly and i hope everything goes well for you all!
