Hanging in there!

Holly

So I’m close to starting the 3rd trimester (26w tomorrow) and it’s all ramping up! The heartburn, bad back pain, and foot swelling started in the past week (although that could be bc I’ve been in the heat at the beach), and I just peed myself while laughing hard for the first time a couple nights ago😳. Last week a patient’s family member told me I looked small to be this far along (but I think my maternity scrubs hide a lot of my belly), and then the other night while on vacation with my parents my mom remarked that she wasnt sure I would make it to December with how big and uncomfortable I’m getting! It’s all starting to make me a little anxious. I know I have to expect to start feeling more uncomfortable and of course be getting bigger and I need to expect people to start making comments, but its hard not to let it make me wonder if I’m “where I’m supposed to be”. I guess it’s to be expected to have these worries as I get closer to delivery.
