2 Weeks To Go Go!

OK, so there are no obvious signs yet that Baby Pod is planning his arrival into the world, but I have been feeling a lot more emotional than normal (ahem!) and VERY uncomfortable. Add to this the fact that I just cannot sleep in any sort of normal position any longer and Baby Pod's birth day cannot come any quicker - thank you, please.

I have also ballooned in size over the past week and my bump is getting in the way of everything - doors, people, eating my dinner, the cat sitting on my lap. I must look quite amusing, but you can decide for your selves!

I was booked in for my pre-mummy massage yesterday, at http://www.thehealthypractice.co.uk/ in Eastern Green, Coventry. I never had one with Jack and I have heard that they can trigger labour. It was a lovely hour of relaxation, beginning with a back massage on the upper back which is carried out while you lie on your side(very important for pregnant mummies not to lie on their tummies)! The lovely Sarah (owner & therapist) then goes on to some reflexology which is brilliant if you have horrid, puffy feet like me, followed by a leg massage and bump massage if you wish. I opted just for the top of my bump to be massaged with some non perfumed oil (also important for pregnant mummies) and Baby Pod seemed to enjoy it too! Sarah then finishes off with either a head massage or reiki. I chose reiki and although I could have snoozed off, I definitely left feeling re energised and positive. I did sleep better than most nights and my legs really benefited from it. I would recommend a visit to Sarah or her team for any ailment or illness, or even just an hour of pampering and relaxation.
The Healthy Practice is a hidden gem in Coventry and I'm so glad I discovered it just over a year ago!

Over 24 hours since the massage and there is no further developments, so we shall have to wait and see!

Yours truly,
MamaPod
