Pregnancy Progress: Third Trimester
This pregnancy has been physically and emotionally
difficult. I have never been a good
pregnant person….and toward the last few months, it has really taken a toll. I
know looking back you forget most of it, but I wanted to blog about the yucky-ness
so I don’t forget! I have almost every symptom in the book. From top to bottom, my ears have been plugged
most of my 3rd trimester, I have heartburn….when I am not nauseous or
vomiting. I have breasts that weigh 5
pounds each (sorry if this is TMI) and a ever growing belly that has now
blocked the view of my feet. It is so
uncomfortable and I just want a break from carrying it. She moves like there is
dance music and my belly is the club, and of course it is at the least
desirable times of the night. I pee
every 2 hours at night so I have not slept an entire night in months. My back hurts, I can’t see or bend over to
even wipe my butt J
My thighs ache and my ankles are swollen…I have even woken up in the middle of
the night with a foot cramp that leaves me limping for days. I think my toes are painted….they seem so far
away … and yes, I waddle. I waddle all the time. Emotionally I am bi-polar….one minute crying
the next yelling, and finally laughing. There. I am done complaining. Don’t get me wrong. I know ALL the blessings,
and don’t take a moment for granted, but in the spirit of honesty, the actually
stuff pregnancy does to me sucks.
