Each pregnancy is a little different, just as each child is quite different. Even after four pregnancies, I have still had some new experiences this time around. Here are a couple that kind of surprised me:
- this kid is so heavy on my bladder that I can't tell by sensation when I'm finished peeing. Honestly, I just have to listen to know when I'm done. Ha!
- I'm not able to eat as much at one time anymore because there isn't much room. The other night, the baby squished upward so much that I actually had a separate little bulge between my rib cage where my stomach was sticking out and I really thought for a moment that I might throw up. He still makes me a bit nauseated sometimes when he stretches so hard upwards like that.
That's interesting. It does sound pretty tough. Pregnancy requires the woman to be healthy in order to avoid complications, but the body experiences a problem or two thanks to the child growing inside. For example, the teeth become weaker, but going to the dentist to remedy the situation can be quite hard.

Oh, so it means that your baby was huge and heavy! You should've asked your doctor about it so she could've given you prescriptions. It seemed like you kind of suffer for a long time, but it was all worth it in the end, right? How are your kids?
