I've got less than a month left on this pregnancy journey
and there isn't much I'm going to miss. What I won't miss? Well, read on for
that!
Swelling: From my feet, to my hands to my ankles and face.
Puffiness, be gone! I haven't been able to wear my engagement ring
or wedding band in a few weeks. The "ghost" feeling of them on my finger is
driving me bonkers! And let's not even
talk about cankles…It's a good thing I can't actually see them when I look
down!
Uncomfortable-ness: From the waddling to the hard-breathing,
to the just generally low-level of comfort I have had this last month…I'm over
it!
Gastro-troubles: ‘Nuff said.
Nose bleeds: I rarely got them before, and realllllly don't
like them now!
Anxiety: I am so anxious about who's been growing in there,
that I'm worried I won't meet his expectations. Wait…he's a baby, does he have expectations?!?!?
Food-relations: Early on you deal with waves of nausea and vomiting,
get a break from that, and then it returns just because you're lugging around a
basketball. And people tell you you're
lugging around a basketball. And think you're going to pop—soon. From cravings
to hating things you loved before, oh, food, let's have a healthy relationship
again.
Crazy emotions: I'm not a very sentimental person, I've seen
people tear up over some of (what I think) are the oddest things and rolled my
eyes. Now, I'm that person tearing up and being terribly moody. Ugh.
There are several more things, but apparently I can't
remember them all this morning. Let's just say I don't like being pregnant but
know that I am going to love having a child and being a parent. What are some things you didn't like about pregnancy
and don't/won't miss?
