Been a while since I’ve done a yoga class… this was a perfect reintroduction-nice space and great teacher. Really enjoyed it.

🍉 status! This is all getting a bit silly now 🙈 I’ve finally stopped teaching this week and am nestling in for the remainder of this pregnancy 🤰🏼 The waiting game is on... Could be today, could be next week, definitely within 3 weeks is all we know 🤷🏼‍♀️ Pretty much everything is feeling uncomfortable now, turning over in bed feels like moving house, sore ribs, back ache, pelvic pain, nausea (oh yeah morning sickness comes back), but with baby so close it kind of doesn’t even matter any more... 🥰 I’m feeling so ready to give birth, done all the mental and practical preparation to remove my fears and concerns and now I’m just seeing it as the biggest and best endurance athletic event of my life to date, and while I acknowledge there is still of course some fear of the unknown, naturally, I’m mainly just excited to see how my body and mind will be pushed to new limits and find out where that takes me 🔥 As for having a sweet baby at the end? Added bonus 👌🏽 #babytime #anydaynow #werereadyforyou #39weeks #39weekspregnant #waitingforbaby #bump #babybump #maternityleave #pregnancy #pregnancyjourney #fearfreebirth #fearfreechildbirth #positivebirth #prelabour #mindfulbirth #loveandalliscoming

When your bump finally reaches functional coffee table size 🏆 #babybump #pregnancygoals #thirdtrimester #pregnant #pregnancy #bonuscoffeetable #loveandalliscoming

I had my first strong Braxton Hicks last week 🏆 It started off feeling like lower back ache combined with mild period cramp, which built slowly and spread up my spine and across the top of my uterus just below my ribs. It held there for about a minute or so in a tight muscle contraction. Reminded me a bit of when you’re holding an intense yoga posture in class, and your muscles are contracting and squeezing and you want to move on but the teacher tells you to hold, and so you do. You hold, and you breath, and you keep holding, and you keep breathing, and you hold a little longer, and each breath is one more breath to carry you through, and then finally after a minute or so it eases off. Just like that. But in some ways it’s kind of easier than that because you don’t need to have the mental discipline to hold your body in place, it’s all involuntary, I don’t control that held contraction of my uterus, all I have to do is get in the zone and breath through it 🌬 Made me feel more nauseous than anything else as we’d just eaten a big meal 🤢 but it wasn’t really painful, or even that scary, despite not knowing whether it was BH or the real thing... I just had to be like, ok, this is happening. (At the same time I’m glad it wasn’t the real thing, would have been a bit of an interruption to the honeymoon plans...!) It has given me some added confidence that I can really do this birth thing 💪🏼 It was uncomfortable, sure, but if that’s my muscles way of training up before the marathon of labour, I’ll take it! Who needs the gym these days anyway? 😂 #gains #uterusworkout #pregnancyfit #35weekspregnant #braxtonhicks #pregnant #pregnancy #babybump #pregnantyogateacher #pregnancyyoga #pregnancygym #breath #practiseandalliscoming #loveandalliscoming
