First off... I am having really one of my first "side effects" of being pregnant. My sciatic nerve is bothering me so much! It has gradually been getting worse...last night I was sitting on the couch and couldn't move, it brought me to tears. I googled some things to do to help relieve the pain, but either I wasn't patient enough, didn't do them right, didn't do them long enough or they didn't work for me. :( I think I'd rather have had the morning sickness compared to this. lol.. but really...it hurts!
Today I start my 30th week... I can't believe it's so close. I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel now.. still a little ways off, but it's almost here!! I've enjoyed being pregnant & feeling her move (all the time now), but I'm getting to the point I'm ready to have her here. People have told me not to wish this part away because I'll look back & wish it was back... which is probably true, I'm just getting anxious.
Next Dr's appointment is October 14. Then I will start going back every 2 weeks!
Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
