I have one small pregnancy niggle, and that's the puffy-feet syndrome. Sometimes it's quite gruesome to see, but I'm lucky: your Soul Papa doesn't mind massaging them now and then.
It's not really that much to complain about. I do notice that if I do yoga, it settles down. It seems sitting cross legged pushes the fluid back up my legs! But after too much standing it really is uncomfortable. It doesn't really hurt, but I do feel like my ankles are sausages that have been baking a bit too long without having a fork-prick in them!
The other day we all went to a 40th birthday party bbq and standing for an hour was a real challenge. At some point your Soul Papa and I went inside, despite the nice weather, and I put my chunky feet on his knees. Some of the party came in to be with us, which was nice!
To make myself feel better, given that I can only wear my Havianas which I brought with me from Australia (and are 10 years old already), I bought myself a new pair of flip-flops/thongs/slippers (whatever you want to call them) ... I hope they will fit me after the birth! I think so, they might be a bit roomy. :)
I sometimes get worried that I won't be able to wear my wedding ring again - I've been wearing it on a short chain around my neck for the last 6 months, because I was terrified I couldn't get it off at a certain point! I've been told the extra blood and fluid circulating around my body will decrease after you arrive and all should be well. We'll just have to wait and see!
Lots of love
your Soul Mama
