Pregnancy is hard. Pregnancy is exhausting. Pregnancy is beautiful. We asked real moms to share their feelings on pregnancy during that last month_the home stretch. You know, when you're so uncomfortable you will literally do anything and everything to get that baby out? Yeah. That one.
Here's what they had to say:
"The last month of pregnancy, I was SO over it. All of it. I didn't feel beautiful or any desire to really do anything except have that baby! Thank God my baby came a few weeks early. I don't think I could have handled it any longer." – Lindsay C.
"During my last month of pregnancy, I felt as big as a house. I literally waddled everywhere, nothing fit, it was just awful. I was so ready to get that baby out!" – Melissa C.
