Sea Turtle Syndrome...

After you get big you will go into what I call Sea Turtle Syndrome...think of a turtle on it's back trying to roll over. It will be just like that. You will rock back and forth every now and then tring trying to reach your most comfy side, just to be greeted with the realization that ytou now have to work for it. Think of it this way, getting up is like a small victory!

You won't be able to roll over, or sit up very easily. 
Tying your shoes is gonna become a hassle. (In my next post I will give you a list of things that you will need to get in order to make this a little easier.)
This will all be hard ESPECIALLY if the baby is moving at the time. 

Now of course as I told you all before, each pregnant woman is different. So maybe you might not go through exactly this, but I can promise you some form of this will happen. I only say that because your baby is going to grow thus you are going to grow. Trust me when I say I feel your pain when you really have that nothing fits moment. No matter how hard you try and prepare, at least once it will piss you off that you can no longer fit a damn thing. I'm sorry but it's inevitable. 

Never fear that's why they made the elastic waistband!

Do not be discouraged. It's kind of fun the first two or three times. After that it gets a little old. Don't worry the baby won't get too upset with your new methods to get up. Just DO NOT roll onto your stomach! It's not only uncomfy but it's most likely gonna anger your little one. 

Few tips?
First: Sleep with a pillow rolled behind you if you're not snug in your others arms. 
Second: When you have to get up, angle your feet off the bed first. 
Third: Wait until you're fully awake so that when you get up your balance isn't so badly affected. 
Fourth: Don't rush it.
 Fifth: Have a goal in mind!
Finally: Swallow your mommy pride and ask for help...

Good luck Ladies!
