Xiu had smooth sailing in her first pregnancy but it ended when she entered her third trimester. The little tiger started making her realize his presence within her. She was always short of breath.
The worst part was the frequent visits to the bathroom and just this short trip would leave her panting like an old woman trying to catch her breath for a long time. She even complained about it to Darren and said, "Why don't I just live in the bathroom? I don't want to move anymore!"
Darren was also really helpless regarding this. He couldn't do much to ease her pain either. But what he could do, he'd always do. For instance, he'd help her soak her feet in cold water and massage her ankles and feet to help with the swelling. He even started applying moisturizer on her body to help alleviate the itchiness that she felt because her skin had stretched and dried out.
