36 week 1 day

Ay, totally normal yan, mama! 36 weeks is actually the perfect time for baby to drop low, that's their way ng paghahanda for labor, kaya don't worry. A few of us had the same experience, and honestly, one gave birth after 4 weeks pa lang ng baby being low, so it doesn't mean labor is coming super soon, ha! As for bedrest, sigurado ba yun ang sabi ng midwife mo, kasi most mums I know na mababa ang baby ay nirerecommend lang light activity, walang heavy lifting, pero hindi strictly bedrest. The low position can cause back pain and pressure though, kaya good idea na mag-rest kung uncomfortable ka, and maybe ask your partner for massage or try some gentle prenatal yoga if you feel up to it. Since it's closer to your delivery date na anyway, super worth double-checking with your midwife exactly what she meant by bedrest, baka she just meant take it easy lang, not full bed confinement? Either way, you're in the home stretch na!
