I had my transvaginal scan last Wednesday, and my Peri took two measurements of my cervix - 3.7 and 3.2cm! And the sludge was gone too! I was so relieved that my cervix was not shortening but there was no one with me to share my good news, so I had to be content with a silent prayer of thanks and inner feelings of happiness.
I am currently 64.1kg, so I've put on almost 18kgs since I got pregnant! It has started becoming difficult to walk as my belly feels heavier. I'm really waddling now. I know that I look really funny, but I still try to waddle up and down the ward several times a day just to keep active. The joints of my legs are hurting even more and the pelvic pressure is a pain every time I go to the loo, which is about once every one and a half hours. The most comfortable position is still for me to be lying on my bed which is propped up and lined with pillows, from hard to soft.
My contractions are increasing so I'm getting worried again. The nurses come once in a while to time my contractions (using the hand-on-belly method), but they only time for 10 minutes. I started timing this evening and I have about 3 to 4 contractions per hour. I just hope that they are Braxton Hicks and not the real thing. We still have 5 more weeks to go!
