(Terrible) Symptoms of the 3rd Trimester

The swelling symptoms have started - My feet has swelled up like the stuffed pig's trotters, and my hands have swelled up like the stuffed lady finger tempura. My stomach has bloated like a bursting big ball. My tummy has started to show up some wriggling stretchmarks!!!! OH NO!!!

Standing for more than a sec becomes more hurting than before. Getting out of bed for work has become more difficult. Walking/ sitting for long becomes a tiring task. Energy level has started to drop drop drop.. I can't keep my mood and spirits (and my eyelids) up anymore. Can no longer stand the puffy face and Ms. Porky's figure of mine in the mirror.

Baby's movements have started to get harder at times, even if its just pressing against my tummy. It got uncomfortable at times.

Entering the 3rd trimester has started to become less enjoyable and happy huh?

But I still love you, Baby... I just started to dislike more of the current me...

  4. Thanks gals.. I can dun mind the swelling if it doesn't make me any uncomfortable. Unfortunately it does. Well, I try to overlook my physcial changes for now and concentrate on the "final product" in July! : )
