As of today, I am 24 weeks pregnant, just entered into my 5th month - only 4 more to go!
As you can see, I've definitely popped out, and feel like I get bigger every day:
It seems my belly isn't the only thing getting bigger, though. In the past 3 weeks or so, every once in a while (though lately, more often than not), my left leg swells up. Only the left; the right ankle might get just a little puffy, but it's hardly noticeable when the left leg is obviously bigger from the knee down. I feel like even my toes are fatter than usual:
In the photo, my left leg is on your right... but you could probably guess by looking at it. This is after a day at work, mostly sitting but getting up to run copies, go to the mail room, go to the bathroom, etc., followed by about 2 1/2 hours of shopping at Ikea. Fortunately, it's not too bad, and it doesn't really hurt - just my heels from standing too long. It usually goes away after a good night's sleep. I'm hoping this is as bad as it gets....
as bad as it gets? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but..... :)
ReplyDeleteHa, I know... but I can hope, right? :)
