This morning I noticed a change. I dropped considerably. Walking was is very difficult and I felt a lot of pressure. I became increasingly worried as I tried to do normal tasks, like getting dressed and using the bathroom.
What more, after not eating since 5:00 last night (other than a protien shake), I wasn't hungry this morning.
I ended up calling the midwife and she's supposed to be here in a half hour.
I stayed in the only comfortable position for most of the morning: horizontal on the couch. When lunchtime came around, I was actually quite hungry. I have been praying that it will all wait for another week and 2 days, when I can legally still have a homebirth. Perhaps God decided to answer my prayer.
That said, I'm certainly taking it easy today. But I'm looking at the livingroom now and it is taking all of my strength not to clean it.
Yesterday didn't help either. I wanted to get the downstairs clean. I finally had enough and took all the toys and stuck them in a cardboard box. They won't get them back until the upstairs have been re-arranged. At this rate, it will be a few months.
My sister made the comment that I might have miscalculated my due date by a week. I don't know if I want to take that risk. Although the closer to my due date it is, the less chance of problems occuring.
I'm off to take a nap. Interestingly enough, I'm sleepy in spite of not doing anything.
Perhaps I should listen to my body and get some rest.
