Starting to feel pregnant with four weeks left to go

Four and a half weeks left till due date. Actually starting to feel pregnant now.

I've had such an easy pregnancy, physically. In the beginning it was a bit difficult to, mentally, accept the way my body started to change. I didn't like that my energy level was a bit lower than normally. I did not like the feeling of not being in total control over my own body.

But those things above are more of a emotional and mental sort, not physical. When it comes to the physical part I've been able to do the same things as always. I've been able to work out, and would probably still be doing that if I was allowed to. And the further my pregnancy has been going, and as a result I've gotten more and more used to it, the easier it's been.

In the beginning I felt tired and a little bit sick. But as long as I got a lot of sleep and managed to keep my blood sugar level from not dropping, I was fine. I've also had a tiny bit of pelvic pain, on and off. But that's it!

But, as I said in the beginning of this post, now I'm starting to actually feel pregnant. Sleeping is becoming difficult. I wake up constantly from hunger, pain or need to go to the toilet. The pain is in my hips from the way I'm forced to spend the nights (on my side, not on back or belly).

I'm starting to feel heavy and on top of that Noam is making lots of huge movements inside of me, which sometimes is very uncomfortable and at times painful.

But, as I started this post, it's now only four and a half weeks left to go!
