Help me Rhonda

I look 53 weeks pregnant and have gained 38 lbs so far. I am well on my way to exceeding the recommended weight gain for people of my size.

I feel like 7 lbs is an excessive amount of weight gain for 2 weeks, and may indicate pre-eclampsia but my OB-GYN didn't seem to think anything of it and my blood pressure is normal. So that means I am not sick, just extremely fat. Also the baby is estimated to be about 5.5 lbs, so the fatness is all me, and not the baby.

I put on a maternity shirt yesterday and it was TOO SMALL. The swelling in my legs and feet is getting excessive, to the point where it's difficult to walk because I can't get one thigh past the other thigh without creating a friction force of near infinity. I have ankle rolls. I have trouble squeezing my feet into flip-flops. Putting pants on requires some acrobatics and precise swinging of the pants onto my feet because I can't bend down far enough to grab them with my hands. When I have to get up from the couch I have to wiggle to the edge of the seat and prepare myself physically and mentally, so that I can lift the great weight that is my body to a standing position. In bed, whatever position I happen to fall in when I get in is the position I have to sleep in, because I can't roll myself to another position.

Oh the joys of bringing another life into the world.
