Twenty-Seven Weeks. Day 191 in the quest to meet our little miracle George, 91 days to go…
13 weeks to go! One week left and i am in the last trimester… Scary huh? I have said on many occasions before that these past 6 months have been nothing like what i expected, i really did think it was going to be peaches and roses… And aside from the fears, there are some things that may just be TMI, they may just be things that doctors go “well thats all part of being pregnant” and they may just be things that i probably would have realised if i had just actually thought about it…
So the Top Ten Things about pregnancy i really didnt expect / didnt even cross my mind.
- Stretch marks, and no not on my belly – on my boobs WTF?
- And speaking of boobs, they now rest on my belly when i am sitting down… humph – how uncomfortable!
- Leg cramps, agonizing leg cramps that wake you in the night and make you scream to the heavens.. Twice now i have woken my husband up screaming in pain.
- I am itchy all over, for no reason… What is that about?
- Hair…. I have hair on my belly! Not too dark, but it is there – i can see it, and i have been told not too pluck… Someone please tell me that it falls out… That i am not permanently going to have a snail trail…?
- Again, speaking of hair…. Why does the hair on my head grow so fast, yet fall out in chunks?
- Indigestion, yup i got it, i got it good….
- And here is the TMI bit… discharge, way to much of that for my liking…
- Oh – blood noses, who ever knew that was a part of pregnancy?
- More TMI, i am clogged like i have never been before, and the silly part, i am too scared to push… Yup you heard right… Someone pass me some more fibre?
Is there more to come? Have i neglected anything else here? Should i really be reading more about what to expect? Please i beg of you – warn me, i am all ears because i am not too sure i need anymore ‘nasty’ surpises!
