- ankles and feet that swell up if I stand too long.
- a sciatic nerve that weakens my right leg- certain positions put too much pressure on it and it buckles. But I'm more aware of it now, as it recurs every pregnancy.
- heartburn.
- being too big for normal jeans, and too small for the maternity ones.
- remembering to take my prenatal pills.
- no more laying on my tummy, which happens to be my favorite lounging position.
- my changing center of balance.
- the pregnant waddle.
- eating more often, because there is less room in my stomach.
- shortness of breath, again because there is less room in my stomach.
- watching for blood clots- not that it's happened yet, but it is genetically probable, so I'm taking precautions.
But I also remember the heart-stopping feeling of little kicks and flutters, and realizing that there is a little person growing inside of me. I'm so glad this is the last time, and so grateful for the ones I already have, and feeling a bit anxious to see what this next one turns out like! And no, I don't want twins, Allison!
