Really didn't realize how pregnant I was till these last few days. Sunday night was when I realized how much a penguin an I look alike. I really didn't think I waddled that much until I saw my reflection in a store window. An then Monday came. I went to one store by myself while my husband was at work. Picked up lunch for him an me. When I got home I was a little out of it. But I still had to go grocery shopping. Usually I wait for my husband to get off work. One cause we usually get a lot of groceries two cause ever since I hit 5 months he hasn't really wanted me to do much by myself. Literally half way through grocery shopping I have the sudden urge to go pee. I turn behind me saying"babe watch the cart I have to pee." Only to realize I'm alone an have to hold it in. Then comes check out. An where I go you have to bag the stuff on your own. Here I am checking out an trying to bag all my stuff before the cashier finishes. Well just my luck. I backed up 4 people, couldn't count my money right, cause I felt so pressured. Then bagging my crap my phone falls an my case goes one way an the back of my phone another way. An everyone just watched me as I struggled to bend over an pick my stuff up. Then putting my crap in the car some jerk had the nerve yo tell me to hurry up so he could park. I took my time. But as soon as I got in the car I just felt so overwhelmed. When I got home going from my car to the kitchen about ten times was when I actually started to cry. One cause I realized how spoiled I am. Two cause I was disappointed that I could no longer do these things on my own. Three cause there's single mothers out there that have to do this every day. I could barely handle a few hours. My heart goes out to all the single mommies. You go ladies. then the last thing that made me feel absolutely pregnant. Today at my doctors appointment I took a break from my doctors questions asked if I could go pee. I go. Come back in an she wants to measure my  belly. As soon as she applied pressure.....I had to pee. I can truly say I am so thankful to have my husbands help throughout this whole pregnancy. An I am proud of every women that's ever done this alone. Cause that's a lot for one person. So respect to all of you ladies.

Oh man. I wish nothing but the best for you! Seriously that crap was hard alone. My hat goes off to all the ladies that can do it.

You poor thing! Aww I feel bad for you.. But you are almost done and clearly will have the support of your husband and a beautiful baby.. My first pregnancy I was taking care of my boyfriends daughter full time with out his help even when he was home or laid off. Even once she came I really didn't get much help.. With this pregnancy he is not the father and I will be doing this completely alone while living and taking care of my soon to be 3 year old that I could barely keep up with her energy before preg. I'm not sure how much involvement he will have once my baby is born but I know I can do it since I have already practically did it before. You are the only post I have read that gives credit to single mothers- not including comments. Appreciate it!!

I have 30 days left. My other half has been abroad for the whole pregnancy and with 3 other children to look after plus being on crutches and in pain from pgp it is hard work! I don't think anyone realises how difficult it is to stay on top of everything and keep it together. I think lack of sleep is the hardest thing to cope with. Im on the go all of the time and my doctor and midwife are constantly telling me to rest but I can't! Im really ready for this pregnancy to be over and have my little man here and hoping my man can make it home for the birth!

Just feel so bad for him sometimes cause I was soindependent before becoming pregnant. I did all the house work, groceries, earrands an it's like I can't really put my shoes on without him. I mean I can but it takes me like ten minutes. With him being a marine i know his job is stressful. I think that's why i attempted all this alone. But really grateful yo have him. Just 30 more days an hopefully I can get back on track

Awe. You poor thing! I'm only 19+2 but i could only image how you felt :( I'm not a single mom, but i do understand about the baby daddy being there. My fiancé doesn't let me go anywhere alone. He always makes sure someone is with me because I've had horrible dizzy spouts this whole pregnancy and cant stand up longer than 5-10 minutes. I'm not even aloud to shower unless someone is in the bathroom with me which is hard because he works all day along with everyone else i trust to see me naked lol i can only imagine how im gonna be 30+ weeks. *hugs*

Yes having supportive husbands is a blessing, pregnancy is an emotional n physical roller coaster on its on.
