There's this strange thing happening right now... I can feel my center of gravity shifting. Like, I'll get out of bed in the morning, and I'm conscious of this extreme WEIRDNESS about how I'm standing... like it's just wrong in some way. And then I get on with my day and mostly forget about it.

I also notice it in bed when I'm lying on one side, and want to flip over -- my first thought before flipping over is that I sort of have to "prepare" myself to do it. Almost like it's a strain in some way, although it's not really. It's just... different. And it's throwing me for a bit of a loop.

There's also this strange "strained" feeling happening in my abs... I can feel them stretching, I think, or being pushed out. It feels exactly like I can imagine it would feel if someone put both hands against your abdominal wall and pushed out. So strange, and not very comfortable.

I had a midwives appointment today, and got to hear the heartrate again... 150 BPM. I also talked to her about this weird pain I've been getting sporadically in my ribcage. She said it was unusual to get it this early, but it could be costal condritis, or it may just have to do with organs and whatnot being pushed around in there. We agreed that it seems muscular in nature, and she mentioned that someone had been in there the week previously with exactly the same symptoms. That particular woman tried the chiropractor, massage, and everything else and basically was eventually told that all that would help it was delivering the baby. Awesome. *eye roll*
