My first pregnancy was like 10 years ago. It felt like I was on my first since I've already forgotten how it feels like when you are in your last trimester.
The 7th month was pretty much OK. I didn't quite experience a handful of discomforts, but this time, whew! The 8th month is so not good.
My baby girl is kicking quite often now. Although it is not that painful, she is surely giving me quite a discomfort. Sometimes, it would feel like she's stretching and waving her hands and she would kick my ribs and my bladder. I just get surprised every time she does that.
I also experience short bouts of contractions. My tummy feels hard to the touch but it would only last for a few seconds. Usually, deep breathing and resting would relieve it.
I get easily tired whenever I walk even a shot distance. Once in a while I have fainting sensations as soon as Is top walking. My legs would also feel tight. There would be pronounced swelling on my ankle although it is only temporary.
I started visiting my doctor every two weeks. That would be until I am on my last term of pregnancy. I also had a tetanus toxoid shot. The doctor said it would be given in three doses with four-week intervals.
I just feel generally tired throughout the day. I can't even concentrate at work because of the aches and pains especially on my back. Not to mention, I also feel sleepy upon arriving at the office.It takes a lot of effort to fight back the sleepiness.
Can't wait for my little bundle of joy to come out. I know that I won't get enough sleep after she comes out but I'm ready for that. It sure beats a tired and stressful day when you see the prettiest smile of a baby eager for your hug and kisses.
