Anastasia’s pregnancy diary - weeks 26-28

Once pruny, I get out of the hot tub, leg it back indoors, and sit down. Then it happens. I feel that prickly feeling, accompanied by the nausea, the distorted vision, and the sweating. Here we go again. I look at Nick in desperation and we stagger outdoors for the fresh air I’ve moaned about needing desperately. Once again I do my impression of a table, bending from the waist with my hands on a chair, trying to regain composure and not pass out, bare feet on the ice. ‘I’ve boiled our baby!’ I whine, almost in tears. Within a few minutes, I feel perfectly fine again, but this episode has given me something new to worry about. Did I do any damage to the little guy? The hot tub was not that hot, I’ve had hotter baths, but does that mean I’ve been boiling him all along? I get a few of my first swift kicks in the ribs that night, which I take as a good sign. Maybe the little sprout is mad as hell and giving it back to me for being so careless.
