UGH! the past few days i feel sooooo uncomfortable. i'm at the beginning of my 7th month and i feel so BIG. sometimes i feel like my belly wieghs a million pounds and i cant breathe. i've been using the ac bc its so humid out, and going for a quick swim when i can, but my little sweetie is always with me and it only makes it halfway relaxing(i love her being there, but you know what i mean, i cant lose myself in the water) i never felt like this when i was preggo with her. i loved my belly and felt so healthy, and well. I do carry big, despite gaining very average wieght....my maternity clothes arent tight, but i only have a few pieces~it seems like this time, the extra $ disappears before it gets to me for clothes~~i'm just feeling SO icky, and i dont like it!! hows that for some good whining does anyone have some encouraging words or stories? my husband tries to make me feel better, but hes my husband so it doesnt count. (its like when your mom tells you your face looks thinner after you gain 10 ibs~it doesnt count~haha)
wow did you read my journal when I was pregnant with trey??... I was sooo miserable by the end of my pregnancy. Although I didn't have a little one around I also didn't have my S/O around at that time. I hate the A/C and I had it on all summer b/c I was so blech. However banana splits did make me feel better and just wondering about the little guy inside of me. Other than that I don't have any other good ideas. But good luck!!!
being pregnant in the summer really sucks. Some things I did... I ate cold watermelon and other fresh fruit every day (it made a huge difference to refrigerate the fruit before eating it). I would take my toddler places that are air conditioned, like the aquarium, where we could walk indoors. We did go on walks around the block outside in early mornings sometimes, too. One of those elastic maternity belts helped when I was carrying my first baby real low, and my belly felt like I needed a wheelbarrel to carry it around! honestly, though, nothing is more beautiful than a pregnant woman. Nothing can possibly be more feminine. Your husband really means it when he tells you how great you look and how sexy you are!!
oh girl i was pregnant at the end of the summer going into the cold season (aka hurricane season) down here in florida. I was miserable constantly in pain, emotional, and having no one to talk to or help me through the tough times i did have my hubby but he accused me of sleeping with his father and would not beleive that i was carrying his child finally after i had aiden and took a paternity test and a lie detector test and passed both he then beleived me. The one thing that got me through my prenancy while i was so miserable was watching comedy it made me laugh and fell good. You should be glad that your husband finds you attractive and sexy and That he says it too. Hell i had no words of encouragement or nothing like that when i was pregnant my hubby even refused to touch me or my preggo belly (he was disgusted). So just try to find something to help you feel better and happier and when your husband says a compliment please beleive him because being pregnant is the one most beautiful things in the world.
I completely sympathize with you! I was high preggers all through the summer with Leane, and had her more than a week overdue at the end of september. I (thank god!!!) had a cool basement to retreat to on really hot days, but yeah, I found tons of cool water and lots of refridgerated fruit helped! I would also keep a spray bottle of cold water with me all the time and would spritz myself down when i was warm (I'd imagine i looked a litle goofy doing that at the grocery store)! baby should be dropping soon, so hopefully you'll be able to breathe a little easier (((((fallenfairy)))))
Second pregnancies are harder than first IMO, at least for me. My muscles weren't as toned and I wasn't in very good shape (yes, just because someone is thin doesn't mean they are in shape,LOL). I felt more pregnant faster, etc. I wasn never preggo in the summer though - that must be hard. Maybe a cold front will come your way!!!!
awww, thanks everybody. i've come outta my funk a bit. last night we saw DMB,and it was a great show. It was great to dance around, and have a night out with mark. we both miss sky, even when its only for a few hours, so its been a while since we went out without her~but it felt good. fallenfairy~hearing your story, puts my little complaints in perspective. how strong of you to get through that difficult time~big hugs
