You
exhale only when you have made sure there is no hide nor hair of that person
behind you. Good riddance. Solitary isn't your thing Hearing any kind of sound,
something that ranges from the breaking of your own wind to gentle plopping of
water in the kitchen sink is enough to convince you of a presence of a
poltergeist or a murderer. And so is spontaneity You have no idea of the
meaning of the word 'spontaneous'; whereas 'on my guard', 'conscious', and
'alert' are the only words that you know and live by. You are acutely conscious
about your surroundings When you see a group of people laughing among st
themselves, you are instantly induced into believing that you are the butt of
their joke, even when you don't know who those people are. Your brain gets no
breather Your brain is always throbbing with painfully pessimistic ideas, so
good you are at painting things in dark tones that sometimes the vast ambit of
your negativity surprises you. Your mind is a muddled maze You are always lost
in the perplexing labyrinths of your mind because of which your expressions
look somewhat like the above.
Small talk is not a small thing for you The
prospect of Black Diamond Force meeting someone gives you cold sweats, because you are not good
with the civil bandying of pleasantries with known people, let alone making an
effort to initiate small talk with an unknown entity. When a stranger calls ...
Seeing an unknown number on your phone or missing it makes every part of your
body perspire, even from the parts where you didn't know there were sweat
glands. Decision-making is more chaos in the making Making a decision is like a
cruel torture to you because you cannot arrive at a decision before exhausting
all hypothetical and a zillion of less likely to happen possibilities. And even
after all this, when you finally think you have made one, you change it
last-gasp. Aaaahhhh. Even sleep can bring you no ease You try to get yourself
some 40 winks in the hope that your anxiety-smothered thoughts will stop
perverting your brain, but you can't even sleep a wink because those thoughts
become more strong as if on steroids. Your life is larded with unanswered
questions When someone tells you an inspiring story to dispel your fears and
anxieties, it immediately boomerangs, as you are then presented with a new
source of anxiety of being unsuccessful for the rest of your life. You don't
fancy hearing what you really are You know how skeptical and pessimistic you
are but when someone tells you that, it totally makes you go apes*** over them.
Death is always dirty-dancing in your head Something that gives even a mild
semblance of turbulence while aboard an airplane is sure to make you want to
shove your face in the oxygen mask. Your anxiety takes over you physically Your
body language is always taut, there is a constant flow of commotion from your
heart to your stomach, and your eyes are always trying to direct their focus on
something but they keep flitting about, because you fear that people can see
your fears right through them. Patience is not one of your virtues If your
friend's request is not accepted or your text message doesn't get the expected
reply within 5 minutes, then you are most likely to assume that people hate
you. Anxiety is clearly not the state that you would like to spend the rest of
your life into, so you can always try ways to cope with anxiety and break free
from the captivity of apprehension. 36 Weeks Pregnant: What To Expect The
anxiety during pregnancy multiplies as it heads towards full term. For those
anxious women nearing labor, know what to expect in the 36th week of pregnancy,
in the following article. TAGGED UNDER: Pregnancy Advertisement A woman has two
smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts a lover before words
are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first born babe, and assures it
of a mother's love. - Thomas C. Haliburton Pregnancy is an exciting journey of
nine months that culminates in the birth of a wonderful bundle of joy.
However,
especially for first time mothers, this period is always filled with anxiety
and nervousness over whether or not everything is going fine and as planned or
not. That's why, it is best to be prepared and well-informed about what happens
during pregnancy in this week. The normal duration of pregnancy lasts anywhere
between 37 to 42 weeks. Hence, expectant mothers that are 36 weeks pregnant are
often anxious about what to expect next. Well, we have chalked down a list of
few important things to be taken care of. Here we will go step by step in
understanding the changes in the baby, your health, and the action plan. Your
Baby at 36 Weeks As per the pregnancy development calendar, at 36 weeks, you
have completed the full term of pregnancy. Hence, the baby has completed its
full development and her arrival is expected anytime soon. Your little one
weighs approximately six pounds and is about twenty inches in length, though
she continues to gain weight during this week (approximately an ounce a day)!
As of now, most of the bones in the baby's body will be of cartilage and will be
quite soft. This aids in delivery and prevents injuries to both, the mother and
the baby, during childbirth. Also, the baby will start accumulating fat
deposits under her skin, this helps in regulating the baby's body temperature
once she takes birth. The baby will maintain a head-down (vertex) or a
butt-down (breech) position during this week, preparing for birth.
Furthermore,
the baby will start moving lower in the abdomen towards the pelvis, so as to
attain proximity to the birth canal. The baby will have less room to kick or
jab, so her movements may be slight and squirmy. You may notice your belly is
slightly pulled downwards, due to the position of the baby in the womb. You
will be able to lift your belly with both hands. Moreover, most of the baby's
systems are fully functioning, like the blood circulation and the immune
system. The development and growth of the brain is at a rapid pace now. Even
the lungs are ready to plunge into action, and are producing a lubricant called
surfactant. This fluid helps the baby breathe as soon as she takes birth. The
gums and sucking muscles grow stronger during this week to help the baby feed
and suckle after birth. Things to Expect Regarding your Health Of course, the
next most obvious question is "What about me?". Here we go... Well,
at 36 weeks, you can finally breathe easy, literally! This is because the baby
tries and moves lower in the abdomen, which is known as lightening, so that the
initial discomfort that was felt in the diaphragm region is not felt now. However,
you may still have problems trying to eat a full meal because your little one
is taking up so much of space! Smaller and frequent meals may help ease the
discomfort. Lower back pain is probably the most discomforting thing you may
have to deal with during this period.
You may try a warm soak in the bathtub or
some light pelvic exercises to ease the pain. You will also feel increased
pressure in your lower abdomen, due to which you may feel the need to urinate
frequently. Some women even complain of cramps, pain, and difficulty in
walking. The pregnancy waddle, (what we can say is the penguin waddle), will be
more prominent as you walk. The pregnancy hormones signal the body to soften
and loosen the connective tissues, so as to prepare you for flexible birth. To
add to the discomfort, women also complain of problems with sleeping in any
position. Due to the pressure on the abdomen, sleeping sideways or on the back,
is equally uncomfortable. However, it is said that sleeping with a pillow
between the legs and behind the back does provide substantial relief. At this
stage a woman may also experience frequent contractions. Consult with your
doctor or mid-wife to know about the signs of labor. Other symptoms like
constipation, tiredness, insomnia, heartburn, restlessness, exhaustion, weak
bladder control, hemorrhoids, edema (swelling during pregnancy) may still be
persistent. Your navel may become convex and look like popping-out.
