Just entered my 8th month and so much is changing in my body. Breathlessness, swelling in feet, baby pressing down a lot. Wanted to know what all is normal at this stage so i dont panic for every little thing.
Expect more pressure low down, frequent urination, some swelling and trouble sleeping. Practice contractions called Braxton Hicks can start too. If swelling is sudden or you get severe headache or blurry vision, call your doctor immediately.
Oh the 8th month, where breathing feels like a workout and sleep is a distant memory haha. Swollen feet, back pain and peeing every hour are my current besties. But baby kicks make it all worth it.
This is the month to watch BP and swelling carefully, mine spiked and needed attention. Keep up your checkups and report any sudden swelling, headaches or reduced baby movement to your gynac right away. Dont wait on those.
