chris,
gong xi lor.. yr baby already head down. Hmm.. same as my boy. Gynea stated that water retention will be high if the baby head didnt engaged.
Same as you, beside my leg look like pig trotter, my hands, neck, nose and lower chin all bloated due to water retention.
Worst part is that the nerves around my hands got swollen and will shift around. Kind of weird feeling and sometime, quite painful especially early in the morning.
Gals,
I am super bad mood since last night. Maybe due to my boy's head press on my right tummy's nerve. The disturbing sharp pain whenever i try to lift my leg up a bit to dress my underwear or walking or alight from the car and especially try to "climb up" from bed.
i do feel comfortable when i go swimming but the pain get back when i am on land. The nerves on my foot can "jump" whenever i walk one step forward due to v high water retention. Kind of pinning pain. Last night, i throw temper on my hubby becos he didnt want to massage my foot for me. (1st time to throw such temper on him).
Luckily, he did massage for me after he throw his temper too.
i can feel my fresh a bit loose after the long massage. However, everything get back to the same this morning.
i was asked to stay home since i am in pain. I don't intend to take earlier leave since my boy hasnt come out yet. Somemore, no one at home even if i take leave. Time will pass v slow. I prefer to work as days pass faster.
Pray hard that my boy head down straight and engage fast.
