Ohhh you girls are lucky I have had a horrible pregnancy. I had hyperemesis in the beginning , which I'd a morning sickness where I literally couldn't even hold down water and then I have gestational diabetes. Fortunately I'm the one that has suffered but the baby is completely healthy.I have 8 days till my scheduled c section but I really wish I would go sooner, I woke up horrible nauseous today and I hear that's a sign that labor is coming I guess we will see

I'm 37 weeks and my feet and hands swell but it comes and goes with the humidity or how much I'm standing on my feet. But my pregnancy has been pretty easy as well other than that pelvic pain and acid reflux. My fiance told me yesterday he can't wait until I'm not pregnant anymore bc I'm helpless at times but he did acknowledge that I do try to do the most for myself as it is.

I'm also 38 weeks. I've started to get cankles! Besides that, the only thing that bothers me is peeing constantly, acid reflux, and the lovely pelvic and leg pain. Besides that I've had a great pregnancy really.
