GLOATING - 36 WEEKS, 6 DAYS

I have been such an idiot! I was all cocky that my pelvis had been fine and I suppose I haven't been nursing it as much. I haven't been watching how I get in and out the car, I've crawled around the floor after Ellis and just generally been acting like there is nothing wrong.

Last night at my active labour class, I topped it off but gloating that I didn't really feel all that pregnant and that I was able to turn over in bed okay still etc, etc. There was the obvious jokes made about my size, i.e. how on Earth could I not feel pregnant! I then decided I wanted to sit on the floor. Forgetting obviously that I am now very pregnant, I just slipped off my ball and sat awkwardly on the floor, at which point my pelvis went twang! I didn't make a sound, or even a face, I just sat there thinking what a stupid thing to have done.

This morning, I am very tired as I had pain throughout the night and I am unable to walk very well this morning. So much for going to a line dance tomorrow night. I shall be resting and nursing my pelvis as much as possible and hopefully in a couple of days it will be better. I think Dollop has moved too so maybe there is extra pressure on it from him.

The active birth class was great. I had such a laugh and a good chat about loads of stuff. Nicky came with Harry and we chatted through her birth story. It was a tough night for her but she made it through okay and seemed alright about having had another c-section. Harry was so cute and I even had a cuddle, which I normally don't do.

Sophie from the group, lives around the corner so she actually picked me and drove. We chatted non stop all the way there and back.

I picked up a Chinese dinner on the way home and tucked into it straight away.

I then asked Rob to read 2 pages from a pregnancy book, but for some reason he couldn't seem to manage it.

Feeling tired and big today but I'm really looking forward to going out with the girls for a meal tonight.
