I'm telling you, a hot bath helps wonders; probably because it's pretty much the only thing that can seem to relax my body for long enough to make this big belly more comfortable.Yesterday I had a doctor appointment and they ended up doing a quick exam type check to make sure everything is cool because I've been experiencing contractions on a regular basis. Some of them are just tightness and it's uncomfortable, but it's tolerable. Other times, and more frequently nowadays, the contractions are painful. My friend Chris called them wincers when I was explaining. I like the term, they are definitely wincers. She said I should make sure to tell the doctor how often I have the wincers.
Anyway, everything is fine. But after the exam I think baby boy tried to get as far up north in my body as possible. I'm pretty sure for the remainder of yesterday he was sitting on top of my ribs. When I sneezed I couldn't breathe at all and it REALLY hurt!
So before bed last night I took a hot bath and did some reading. It definitely helped and I slept well considering. If only there were enough time in the day to take a hot bath every night before bed.
