Week 20 Belly Shots
Here’s my rapidly expanding belly, which seems to be growing every day. This morning I felt him kick with my hand for the first time (my hand just happened to be resting on my belly, and then bounce!) and I got my first Braxton-Hicks contraction. My uterus hardened up like a rock and I felt it stay that way for like fifteen seconds and then slowly loosen. It was the oddest sensation. Guess the little guy’s busy in there!
I’m halfway there! Also, I’ve been looking into planning an unmedicated birth with the help of a doula and a Bradley/hypnobirthing based program called Hypnobabies. I’m hoping to labor at home for as long as possible before I go to the hospital. More on this in the coming months.
Love,
Mama Bear
