Belly Binding
As morning came, I knew that since I had not yet had the baby that it probably wasn't going to be happening until later tonight. Daytime brings about a different feeling, not one that is particularly conducive to laboring. After talking to Heather and Andrea, the student midwives, they encouraged me to try belly binding today and see if it helps baby move into a better position. SO, I'm now sitting, belly bound, on the couch, watching Netflix and my contractions have been feeling much better. Before, I was feeling the contractions deep in my round ligament and the pain was NOT fun. Now my contractions are more centrally located and much less painful. Hopefully that means baby is in a better position too! Karen and her team left so that I could have a peaceful day and, as much as I want the baby to be here already, I am glad they are able to spend Easter with their families! (I think maybe I just have a super polite baby that doesn't want to interrupt anyone's schedule haha). They will be back as soon as I call them with news, but until then, Ken and I are just going about our day, anticipating the arrival of our little one and talking about baby names. Who knows, we may even get crazy and go see a movie or something! Happy Easter everyone! Thank you for being a part of this journey. I will keep everyone up to date as always. Feel free to text me if you want to check in :). I am missing my village, but I can't wait for all of you to meet this little one!
