My thoughts on the effects of the third trimester


They're "entrails", not "extrails". I wish I didn't have to keep explaining this.

It's not that I'm emotionally unstable. It's that my usual cranky / avoid reactions have escalated to "Kill it and eat its heart that its lifeblood might sustain my offspring" and "drift off to live in a well-concealed and distant cave to fatalistically contemplate the ways human interaction is not worth the effort". And if I can't do either of these, I cry.

I'm the acid queen (pay before you start). The only cure for the heartburn appears to be to sleep more than three hours at a go; unfortunately, the heartburn tends to wake me up every hour and a half or so.

My normal lower back pain has vanished. (I think this is so that I know for sure when I'm having pregnancy-related back pain. Which is really not all that often.)

My seasonal allergies have also vanished. Clearly I must arrange for all pregnancies to be well established in at least one of May and September.

I think so. Mine always got better in pregnancy too.
