So i've posted before about pregnancy and finding the positives in it no matter what... [You can find that post HERE <-----]
But pregnancy DEFINITELY has its dark side....
Everyone knows the last month of pregnancy is the hardest and most miserable.
I already have carried super low this pregnancy, which has caused my hip pain and such, but it wasnt too bad. Now that Baiden has dropped, im in almost CONSTANT pain..
Walking is painful due to my sciatic nerve and now back pain. There is so much pressure on my cervix that i get sharp pains, which cause contractions, its just miserable.
If i sit for longer than 20 minutes my hips start to hurt and i have to change position or adjust. If i lay down, i cant lay on my back so i have to pick a side, and being on one side too long makes my hips hurt bad so i have to rotate (which is a painful process). So BASICALLY, walking, sitting, and laying down, offers little relief.
Getting up is quite the hard process (and probably amusing from an outside view). Its difficult to get out of bed. I cant sit on the floor for more than 30 second without TREMENDOUS pain when i move.
I can barely shower myself. Shaving is pretty much non existent (sorry husband!). I cant paint my toes or clip them. TRYING to do so just gives me contractions cuz squishing Baiden in the least bit puts so much pressure on my cervix that i contractGetting up is quite the hard process (and probably amusing from an outside view). Its difficult to get out of bed. I cant sit on the floor for more than 30 second without TREMENDOUS pain when i move.
It hurts to put on pants/shorts like a normal person. I feel like im pulling a muscle ever time i try to lift my leg to slip it into a pants leg.Standing too long makes my chest hurt and feel heavy (dont freaking ask.. i dont know). I run out of breath just TALKING too much.Im always getting random charlie horses that HURT. Add that to the sciatic nerve pain.. SHOOT ME NOW!
I already had to pee about ever hour and a half to 2 hours.. now that Baiden has dropped, i feel like i have to pee every 30 minutes or EVERY time i stand up. Even just sitting or laying i will get sudden SHARP pains in my cervix. I can feel him pushing on it like he is trying to bust out and it is SO uncomfortable.
Baiden is so big that his movements have started to kinda hurt? Like he loves to stretch out or run his boney elbows or knees or SOMETHING along my belly and it HURST. There is more baby than fluid now so his movements are just sore now.
My boobs hurt, i have bad allergies (you cant take good meds during pregnancy), i get heartburn by just SMELLING something spicey. I have to eat like a toddler. I randomly get nauseous. I cant brush my teeth without the sink looking like a murder scene (pregnancy gingivitis). The love life is interesting to say the least with a belly this huge and a kid so low. My belly itches now. The constant cramping and tightening is so irritating and sometimes painful. OH the list goes ON and ON!
Did you catch all that?
Alright lets continue...
Just ridiculous things...
I know this is all normal.. but its just hard excepting that you've lost control of your body and mind.
I figured i just better document the not so fun stuff cuz as we ALL know... i keep it real on this blog, blog about it all, and dont hold back. For others to relate to, not feel alone, and for me to look back on and remember why we are having NO MORE BABIES ;)
Cheers to the next 3 weeks and 3 days!
The countdown is ON!
WE CAN DO THIS!!

I LOVE those pictures. Amazing!! You only have 3 more weeks! You can do it! I hope it goes really fast for you.
Awesome pictures! 3 more weeks is all!? So excited to see your handsome little Mr.!
Great shots! He has totally dropped! Good luck with your delivery.....I totally understand how your feeling. This being my fourth I had that with my 2nd like your experiencing. Hang in there.
I can appreciate the dark side of it. I didn't really have anything until recently to complain about. But my dark side of pregnancy was when emergency surgery was needed and there was a chance it could kill my baby. But a very BIG chance it would kill us both if it wasn't done. So yea...very much not a part of pregnancy that's exciting or happy I can tell you that.
Im soooo glad you posted this!!! While im so grateful that my bubbys healthy i hate being pregnant, and get so depressed with all the pain that goes along with it!!! Thank you for making me feel a bit more normal and like im not alone!!
You can do this girl. Just remember its all worth it in the end! BTW your pics are beautiful! You are a great photographer!!!
Great photos! I'm almost 31 weeks now and I'm just starting to get uncomfortable, and I know it's going to get a lot worse in the next few weeks.
And I totally feel you on the putting on pants thing...I think I wear dresses 4-5 times a week just to AVOID having to try to put on pants. My husband can't figure out why I yell everytime I have to do so--it hurts!
Aww, I'm sorry you're suffering! Only 3 more weeks though, you can do it!!
I'm so sorry you are in pain. I also had the back pains and my legs would go numb if I sat for too long.. But you're almost there!! Do whatever you have to do to stay as comfortable as you can :)
And this pictures are insanely gorgeous!!
Do whatever you need to do to stay as comfortable as possible... You're almost there! I know how awful the back pain can be :(
