As I entered my 8 month of being pregnant I realised that Gaviscon tastes good with everything! Heartburn is not my friend especially waking up in the middle of the night needing to stack pillows as high as the ceiling - one hint of my head being parallel to the bed invokes a burning nausea.
A typical night’s “sleep”:
9pm fall asleep
9:10pm wake up go to the toilet
10:00pm eventually get comfortable, get my breath back
10:42pm wake up from a horrible noise (what was that) oh wait it was me snoring
10:57pm still getting comfortable have managed to get my breathing down to a normal rate no rushing to hospital for an oxygen mask for me…
1am wake up to pee
3am took 20minutes to get comfortable but need to wake up and go for a…you guessed it… Wee!
And so this continues till the sunrises. My husband is disliking me so much… like I enjoy sleeping on my sides that continue to get numb and ache… that I enjoy breathing through my mouth as my nasal passages make their own little song as I try breath in and out…
It is during the 8th month that I love my incredible boobies… I do not love my “cankles” (calves and ankles have merged into one) they have pretty much formed by the end of me getting ready for work in the morning.
What does upset me is when people say: “shame look how swollen your feet look” - when it so happens on days where I am having the “better-non-fat-feet” day.
Still loving the fact I have no muffin top...

Any top I wear makes me feel great… no fat rolls for me No sirree! The love handles are no more; I haven’t had this great experience since I was 14 years old ( I refer to that as the good ol’ I mean… good young days)
It is also during this time where a pain starts pressing on my groin… the pressure hurts…and I think that is why a lot of pregnant women have a waddle or a special camel walk… it’s all about creating momentum as you put your first foot forward and continuing in said fashion until desired location even if it to the loo.
Last but not least the ever expanding belly/bebe makes you realise how much one cannot take gravity for granted it is here that stopping exercise wasn’t the best idea. I did mention to my husband that I shouldn’t have a bath if he wasn’t around and his response was simple “why are you scared you will get to a point where you can’t get out the bath” as insulted as I was the answer was a simple “yes!”
Bebe A’s Baby Shower was a definite Pregnancy high and I will be posting pictures soon…
You got it all in one. I could not have put the whole experience in better words. Almost there and good luck! Love R
