kelseykatexx :

Scheduled for a c section on Halloween- I’m up peeing all night, my ankles/legs are swelled up like tree trunks & I walk like a penguin 🫠

Allowmetocook :

Nope. Everything feels tight and anxiety ridden and you just want to meet the cause already 😆

Let me tell you third Trimester has been the best so far! I WAS STRUGGLING IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SECOND! I still can’t stand certain things but at least I’m not sick all the time 😅

Hex:Missy ❣️ :

Help me

Paige M :

No 🤗

Not being able to breathe and the feet swelling was insane. You look amazing for the last leg. I will say that I gained 40 lbs and while I felt awful and a prisoner to the parasite growing in my stomach... I wish I had taken more pictures even though I didn't feel comfortable in my body. I only allowed like three pictures of myself to be taken in the whole time. looking back I wish that I'd had more and that I really was in a lot better shape than I thought that I was. you're almost there 💗💗💗

Prage :

Third tri you feel like you’ve been pregnant for 1000 years. The fatigue hits hard. Always full and yet hungry. Back and hip pain…but you’re in the home stretch. It was DO WHATEVER MAKES ME COMFORTABLE AND NOT ANXIOUS trimester for me😂❤️❤️💕

minicon :

gave birth 8 weeks ago and felt better postpartum from an emergency c-section then i did the whole pregnancy… you’re so valid

Gsilver :

also if you don't have gripe water, a boppy, and a Bumbo you really should. I would have not survived the first year without those things.

Boppy pillow can be used for nursing and bottle feeding. Also a big help for people to hold your baby. The pillow keeps their heads stable and your family member from dropping your baby into the floor. it's also perfect for being able to sit your baby down in a comfortable position if you need to sit the baby down for a moment. this is a controversial take but when my daughter was a newborn I used this pillow and had her sleep in the bed with me. instead of putting her in the bassinet she slept right next to me on the pillow @elsie

Gsilver :

in the very last thing that I had forgotten to mention is a portable changing pad. we traveled a lot and a lot of places don't have changing tables. or they do and they are disgusting and you would never sit your baby on it. there were times on road trips that I would have to pull this out in the back of the car to change her diaper and not get baby diarrhea all over my backseat. I'm sure you've heard that that's a pretty common thing so always bring a change of clothes whenever you leave the house. I don't want to sound like Queen of the motherhood advice I am a ONE child mother. I unfortunately identified with your pain that's why I took the time to write out to you all my recommendations because I SUFFERED throughout my pregnancy and I really understand where you're at. I basically wanted to die the whole time. I wish you so much luck with your delivery and I'm glad that you are in the home stretch. also want to send a lot of love for your vulnerability throughout your pregnancy 💞 @elsie

🎀🧸MISHA🧸🎀 :

Lots of sleep and peeing.

Third trimester is a little crazy but you’re in the home stretch. Soon you’ll have a gorgeous baby and you’ll remember these days differently. Hang in there, bearing children is a blessing but exhausting

Bumbo is a game changer for your baby once they can support their own head. I learned the hard way that the high chairs are a nightmare to clean, they get food all down in the cloth seat and then you have to clean a whole separate tray every time they eat. this tiny chair is super portable so you can take it from room to room. it is a breeze to clean. Plus she was always just really comfortable in it as well. not all restaurants have high chairs and I would bring it with me especially when I went to visit friends. I even took it with me grocery shopping when she was too little to sit in the cart. Alot of people obviously wear their babies on their chest but mine didn't like that. I had both versions in the picture. @elsie
