The biggest change? I am no longer seeing a perinatologist. I&#8217;ve always felt deep down that I&#8217;m not high risk. I&#8217;ve had a very easy pregnancy and my only issues are endocrine disorders that are under control. I made the decision a few weeks ago to ditch the peri and finish out my pregnancy with midwife care. She comes to my house! I get my blood pressure taken on my couch! The difference is mind-blowing. I can&#8217;t fully express the magnitude of the change without <em>finally<\/em>\u00a0going back and publishing some backdated PTSD and hospital entries. Gah. I will someday, but not yet.

WHAT?!<\/li>\n<li>The area below my bellybutton, previously free of stretch marks, has blossomed into what looks like a toddler&#8217;s art project. Pink and purple scribbles all over.

They can strike at any time! Most of mine have appeared in the last two weeks. Some appeared overnight. Seriously. I had fewer stretch marks when I went to bed last night.<\/li>\n<li>Baby still doesn&#8217;t have a name. We are bad at names.<\/li>\n<li>Baby has started dropping. I don&#8217;t feel that bowling ball pressure lots of women talk about. For me, it&#8217;s only been awesome &#8211; I can breathe and eat again!<\/li>\n<li>So. Many. Baby. Things.
