Today I am 27 weeks pregnant and this is the end of the second trimester. Basically I’m into the final stages of pregnancy – the third trimester – when Addison begins to grow and get ready to join us in the world! The next month will lead me to the big count down, when there are only 10 weeks to go. Very exciting!!
I’m still feeling quite good, apart from the back pain I get every now and then everything seems to be going smoothly. Addison has been doing some serious kicking and turning over the last week, sometimes so much that it is very hard to sleep with him being so active!!
We also go on our holiday to Cairns in a couple of weeks and I’m a little worried as to what I can wear due to the different temperature and my growing tummy but that is the main thing on my mind at the moment!!
I go for my glucose tolerance test tomorrow and then back to the doctor next week. From now on I will be seeing Doctor Bopp (my obstetrician) every two weeks. I discuss the glucose tolerance test in the Week 26 of Pregnancy article in the My First Baby Pregnancy Guide if you want to know more information about this topic.
Next week is also our first antenatal class at Pindara Hospital, we are certainly in for a very busy month of learning.
