You Know You're In Your Third Trimester of Pregnancy When...
I saw a forum thread today where other third trimester pregnant ladies were putting a list together of "You Know You're In Your Third Trimester of Pregnancy" when's. I thought it would be fun to put together my own list that applies to me. So, without further ado:
You Know You're In Your Third Trimester of Pregnancy When...
- Putting on your shoes is an over-complicated process.
- You make involuntary grunting noises when you have to turn your torso or bend over.
- You can no longer reach your legs or see other certain body parts in order to shave them.
- You have to ask your husband to clip your toenails.
- You need help standing up from sitting on a chair or couch.
- The first thing you do when you stand up from your chair is use the restroom.
- You use the restroom every 10 minutes.
- You've started to wonder if maybe you should just stay on the toilet the entire day.
- You've become intimately familiar with every bathroom outside of your house, even if you were previously uncomfortable with using public restrooms.
- You have to ask your husband to slow down while walking because you cannot walk that fast.
- Walking across a parking lot feels like you've run a marathon.
- You can't stay standing for more than 5 minutes without your leg falling asleep.
- Rolling over in bed makes you feel like a beached whale, or possibly a turtle stuck upside down laying on its shell.
- Sleep? What's that?
- You feel ravenous all of the time but can't eat more than 10 bites before your stomach runs out of space.
- Dropping something on the floor (like a pen or your purse) is a serious disappointment.
- You can see your now-outie belly button (which used to be an innie!) through your maternity shirt.
- You are overheated all of the time because you're carrying a giant baby space heater.
- Your belly now doubles as a shelf.
- You make random "Oof!" or "Ouch!" noises throughout the day as your baby tries to take up residence in your rib cage.
