Hi Mamas, the third trimester is here and feeling lots of changes. Less nausea but more heartburn, hip pain and back pain. I fortunately don’t have swollen ankles or feet yet but my fingers are swollen and I can no longer wear my wedding bands. I’m also starting to have a larger appetite and more […]
