Being in your third trimester is a bit like running a marathon with a blindfold on, while someone sprinkles your aching 5k legs with fairy dust. You're powering through the fatigue, the sleepless nights, and the swelling that makes your feet resemble those pool floaties you lost in Bali. But hey, you're growing a baby, and that's like building an entire human being while also juggling your own. Superwoman, much? Welcome to the final stretch – your maternity Olympics, without the adults judging your form."
