NERVES OF STEEL
Aching feet, throbbing back, swollen belly, yet stretched thin
How phenomenal is the female body, tough from within
Fatigue!
Nausea!
Insomnia!
Soaring blood pressure and palpitations
Endless supplements and medications
Emotions on a rollercoaster
Hormones going haywire
Twisting, turning, pushing, wriggling tiny kicking feet
Growing by the day is her own heartbeat…
Baby showers, unpacking gifts and shopping for more
Excitement! Third trimester is nearly over, nearly there
Contractions by the hour and minute, growing intense
Exhaustion! Wishing for a release from this pain immense
Incredible!
Remarkable!
The life she creates within is a true miracle!
