Posted: 04-28-07 04:15am

Is high, so my midwife has told me not to do a lot all this week and go get it checked by my other midwife to make sure i don't have pre-eclampsia. *sigh* i was hoping to be rearanging my room and decorating this week btu i guess i'm gunna have to put it on hold for a few weeks. Sorry i don't think there will be any week 32 pics today because i'm feeling really weak and light headed.

this might sound stupid but try music relaxation.

find somewhere quiet and comfortable - your bed, of couch for example.
A good place is in the bath with tepid water and no bubbles (I'll explain more).

put on some chill out music on low volume - do you have any nature cd's - whale song or rain forest or something?

if you chose the bath, sink down quite low then just gently flop the water around and over your belly.

close out the rest of the world and just think peace and tranquility.

First couple times can be a bit hard to find the right thing for you but it's so relaxing.

I did this when I was having the pains with 0liver. I'd been prescribed co-codamol, but I hate taking pain killers most of the time and especially when I was pregnant.

I could actually breathe away the pain, lying in a warm bath, flopping the water around gently and listening to quiet music.

I think I spent more time in the bath in that month than ever lol.

Thanks for the advice .Kia, i got straight into the bath after i read that and oh god it felt so good! I feel so much better now, still a little weaker than usual i have a feeling i might be anemic, i've been told that it's alot easier to become anemic when your a vegetarian. I called the doctors today to book myself in to see my other midwife to get my blood pressure checked so i'll be off there tommorow at 4pm, i hope it's normal again because i can't cope being locked up! I was naughty and went out on saturday though Embarassed I went shopping with mum, dad and dom and got the last few bits of newborn clothing, i got a pink and teal fleece blanket, a yellow top with a pink bunny on it, pack of two pink joggers, pack of two pink tops, pack of 10 bibs (for £3 Shocked ) and my parents bought us a pack of two dalmation baby gros. I'll take some pics soon so you can all see! I tottaly regreted going out after though i felt so ill and tired so got straight into bed and got my dinner bought up to me!
