My pre-labor sleepless nights (Week 38)

I had sleepless nights for the past one week, experienced moms told me this is normal, it's a sign of my baby's arrival. My watermelon-look-alike belly is simply too big for me to lie down comfortably now where I can only sleep on my left side whole night long. I tend to burp a lot at night and the gases come up all the way to my chest, pressuring my breathe and at the same time interfering with my sleep, making me tired and cranky.

My false contractions tend to come somewhat more often starting this week, they're infrequent, irregular and it comes in once or twice a day only. Somehow, it subside on their own when I change a sleeping or sitting position. Being a first-time-mom, sometimes they're hard to be distinguished, I can't tell whether it's a contraction or was just a normal stomach upset.

I'm feeling relatively more anxious, wondering when the true labor will start ... Somehow, I'm feeling relax & calm these days, waiting for the little miracle to enter my life, the big day to welcome my precious little one -- Baby Adrian!
