Thoughts on Baby Movements (wk31 update)

I think the thing I will miss the most about being pregnant is the feeling of baby moving inside your belly.

It is really not a feeling that can be easily put into words. But all mummies who have felt it will know how amazing this feeling is.

To me, every movement is a reminder that I’m carrying a life inside of me. It does get easy to forget about this little fact as one goes about the daily hassle of life!

The whole journey is after all a long and tiring 10months!

Then you know the feeling of how at some points u think you’re alone, but then u realise not really because there’s a being inside of you too. And that whatever you’re doing, this fellow is accompanying you.

I rmb how it felt with Don where I wished I could keep him inside longer because I had no concrete child care plans for him when he arrives.

It was such a headache and life changing period cos he is our first.

So at wk 31 day 4, baby #3 movements can be painful at times.. but he’s a much nicer boy compared to the Monster that rou was when she was inside!

At least this one doesn’t push outwards alll the freaking time!

But baby A, you really can move quite a lot you know! At times I will just stop whatever I’m doing to just appreciate the miracle of it all.... I’ll imagine what are you doing or how are you moving to cause the weird bump on my tummy at that moment.

After all, this will most likely be the last few weeks that I’ll ever get to experience this feeling.

Bitter sweet emotions.

Very soon it’ll get a little too  squeezy for you in there.. but please be nice to me ok baby!

I keep you safe and warm in there.... please grow healthily and don’t get too fat! You don’t have to win your sister’s weight of 4.2kg ok! 😂

Let’s try to keep it below 4kg this time round! U’ll be my pride and joy for being my only 3+kg baby okie? 😝

That being said, please continue to stay in there till 1st feb! 

Actually I know even you have no say, it’s all up to God.

So dear God, pls let baby and me stay healthy and safe till at least 1st feb. Don’t want what high bp or some other weird conditions that will jeopardise my overall health or cause a potentially dangerous situation!

Please don’t let me have to deliver earlier than expected.

Ameen......

Btw I think I’ve solved the mystery of why babies (when they’re born) seem to be able to sense it the moment u leave their side to go to the toilet etc— u know the motion sensor ability they seem to come with!

They have this amazing skill because they have been quietly observing our every movement and activity for 40weeks! It’s like spy work u know!

So much so that the moment you lay them down in their cot or leave the room, THEY WILL KNOW!

But that’s a misery to complain about for another day.

I’m just going to ‘enjoy’ and appreciate these last few weeks of baby movements in my tum tum before he becomes a real physical worm in my arms!

Love you baby A.... (yes, we roughly have a name in mind alrdy but somehow doesn’t feel like you leh..... haizz... we’ll see......)
