Multe din cele de mai jos se verifică în cazul meu. Mai ales, nu pot spune că nu am obosit – și psihic, și fizic. Waiting for you, baby!
Și da, o pereche de șosetuțe mă face fericită! 🙂

Your Pregnancy: Week 29
Among the many perks of becoming a new mother is having someone other than yourself to shop for (a big plus when the jeans you like are $100, but a cute onesie can be had for a mere $6.99). So if you’re feeling out of sorts about your ever-changing body but have a shopping itch you need to scratch, indulge in something mini and adorable for your new babe.
Wondering what’s up with your body, your baby and your life this week? Read on …
What You’re Thinking:
„How can one pair of tiny little socks make me so happy?”
Your Body
Let’s get right to the point: You’re a bloated, water-retaining mess. Chances are good you can’t get your sneakers on or your wedding ring off, so get comfy in your slippers. Your pants don’t fit. Your shirts don’t fit. And now, thanks to the swelling in your feet, your shoes don’t fit. You can thank a wonderful thing called edema for that. Go edema!
Extreme swelling (as in „Oh my god, what happened to my hands?!”) might be a sign of preeclampsia, so make sure to see your doctor. For mild edema, your doctor may recommend support hose—with plenty of room for your belly—and drinking plenty of water. Also, a low-salt diet may not be any fun (No potato chips! No soy sauce!), but it may help to minimize edema and water retention.
On the bright side, edema is a great excuse for sitting down, propping your feet up, and asking your partner to bring you a cool drink and this week’s US Weekly.
Your Baby
Having a baby prematurely is frightening, no doubt. But here’s a reason to relax: Due to the impressive advancements of medical technology, if your baby is born this week, she’d have a 9 out of 10 chance of survival, which is seriously great news. Other awesome developments:
Baby’s brain can now control her breathing and body temperature. She can also cough, and her sucking abilities have been perfected. Look out, boobs!
Your Mini’s skin is looking less wrinkled as she packs on the pounds. She’s starting to look more like a Pampers model and less like a Depends model. She’s now beefing up on the energizing and insulating white fat she’ll be born with (unfortunately, white fat is not energizing and insulating for adults!).
And speaking of energy, your little Energizer Bunny is on fire these days. You’re sure to feel your share of kicks, punches and elbows, especially when you’re lying down. You might want to start keeping a kick chart to monitor your baby’s movements, and also to later show your 13-year-old child what you endured for him or her. Ask your doctor how to count kicks and how often you should do it.
This week your baby is a little over 15 inches long—about the length of a loaf of bread—and weighs about 3 pounds, as much as a Macbook Air laptop.
Your Life
Remember those sexy little bras you used to wear in your former life? Chances are good you can’t even get it around your ribcage these days. Sad to say it, but it’s time to visit a maternity store to get advice on a new nursing bra.
A well-fitting bra will not only support your back during these last months of pregnancy, but it will help prevent mastitis down the road and allow you to breastfeed discreetly. You’ll need one or two bras now, and a few more after the baby comes—when your body will have changed yet again.
Don’t forget to buy nursing pads, because you will leak breast milk and wet stains on your boobs are never a good look. Also, get some lanolin to help with dry and cracked nipples once your baby starts her feeding frenzy.
This week, take a bath. One with bubbles, a trashy novel, a face mask, the whole works. Your big bod feels so much better and lighter in water, and what’s more relaxing than a bath? Just make sure it’s not too hot (under 100 degrees Fahrenheit) and that you’re careful getting in and out.
