This current pregnancy has reminded me of lots more fun things that could be added to the list of “Small Prices to Pay for a Miracle.”
Here’s what I’ve got so far – please leave comments to let me know what I’ve forgotten!
• The all-day “morning sickness.”
• Heartburn. I had a lot of heartburn with Kate, but I don’t remember it kicking in this early!! It’s woken me up in the middle of the night twice now… time to break out the pepcid. As an aside, did you know that studies have shown that the old wives tale about heartburn equaling lots of hair on the baby is true? Crazy!
• Acne. I am breaking out like a fourteen-year-old!
• Pregnancy brain. As we’ve discussed, I’ve become stupid.
• Mood swings.
• Fatigue. It’s almost indescribable, isn’t it?
I have to say, though, that I forgot about all of this last night when I felt the baby move. Maybe these are, in fact, small prices to pay for a miracle 🙂
You feel like you pee your pants sometimes when you stand up?
Oh God I always felt like I had a foot hanging out between my legs. Go figure- both my twins were breech, maybe it was a foot after all!
How about feeling like you had to pee soooooooo bad, waddle to the bathroom , and all ya get is 3 drops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sneezing and laughing make you pee.
You have to actually wake up in order to turn over on the bed, in addition to all the times you have to wake up to pee.
Pain in my ribs! And back pain!
Oh my goodness, yes, I had all of that except the nausea. Plus, I had nosebleeds. Good times.
I love the feeling of”butterflies in your stomach”! Congrads! on feeling baby moove! what a miracle!
How about your feet/ankles being soo swollen?? Mine always were. I remember the first time I looked at my ankles after given birth and I elled “I have skinny girl ankles again!”
I was nauseous for three straight months with The Little Man…I was sure I was bruised from the inside, he never stopped kicking!
Never being able to lie comfortably in bed during the last trimester was the worst! I could never get comfortable!
Well i gaged for every little thing very annoying. Not to mention my son always kicking my ribs
I HAD THE ABSOLUTE WORST VAGINA PAIN/CRAMPS. IT FELT LIKE SOMEBODY JUST HAD A GRIP DOWN THERE AND HUNG WITH ALL THEIR WEIGHT!
