Tell me I should just be grateful, and not worried...
Last week I had the WORST heartburn on the face of the earth - not kidding, I felt like I could breathe fire if I concentrated hard enough. On top of that I had to get up at least 2x-3x a night to pee. I was reluctant to go to bed every night because I knew I'd be miserable all night long.
This week, almost no heartburn - obviously I avoid trigger foods, but I did last week, too - and although I wake up every time I shift position in bed, I've been able to go back to sleep most of the time without getting up to use the bathroom.
I don't think the baby has dropped, and DH doesn't think I'm carrying any lower either.
The baby's still active - though not nearly the kick-fest he had going on for the last few weeks, but I suspect he's just getting too big for all that. (I'm 35 weeks today.) If I sit for a bit and pay attention, I do feel him kick and shift in there, so I'm assuming all is still well. (I hate not knowing for sure. I'm getting to that point where I start to think about all the things that could go wrong between now and when he's born. I'm usually a nervous wreck for these last few weeks if I allow myself to dwell.)
So.
Worth worrying about? Or just stop looking a gift horse in the mouth and sleep while I can? I think I was also fighting something off last week because I had a scratchy throat for a couple of days and then the kids did too, so maybe that - plus the extreme heat and humidity - contributed to all the uncomfortableness?
I guess I just kind of feel crazy calling my midwife and saying, "oh, by the way, I'm sleeping better and don't have any heartburn anymore, I'm kind of worried." But it seems really odd that I'm *less* uncomfortable a week later in my pregnancy...right?
