If you are 35 weeks, how can you have another 5 weeks or more, as you state?
Also, you can eat tuna, just in moderation. My doctor told me maybe once a week or so is fine!
As for the toenails, get a pedicure! That's another thing my doctor said is fine, as long as they don't massage too hard.
As for going to the bathroom all the time--I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!! I know how you feel, and I'm only 23 weeks!!
Good luck the rest of your pregnancy. I think you have every right to complain b/c we all have those moments.
Thank goodness you and your baby are doing well though.
OP here... I am assuming I have another 5 weeks because 35+5 = 40 weeks... I'm not assuming I am going to go early, and in fact I may go late since this is my first baby. I hope I go early though! Thanks for the other ideas... I will definitely get a pedicure sometime this weekend and I'll eat tuna. I have been pretty lax with eating stuff that others avoid (like deli meat) but for some reason thought tuna was a no-no.
To all you ladies who had terrible morning sickness - I DEFINITELY feel for you and would NEVER lord the fact that I didn't get m/s over others; my sister was recently pregnant too with her first child (she just delivered yesterday) and she was really sick for the first 14 weeks. I definitely saw firsthand how bad it can be. Everyone told us that she got sick b/c she was pregnant with a girl and I am pregnant with a boy. My mom had 3 girls and was sick through all of the pregnancies. Anyway... I am thankful that my 1st and 2nd trimesters weren't as bad. This one sucks though. My sister loved her 3rd trimester and never had any problems with palpitations, GERD, anemia, etc. like I have had. Her baby bump also stayed tiny and she never seemed to look or feel like a hippo. I just can't wait until this is over!!!
