Diary of a pregnant Woman

The night came and I became as hungry as though I had not eaten all day. I struggled to catch some sleep, but no, the sleep actually refused to come. I got tired of sleeping on my left side and decided to turn to my right side and after struggling to turn, I found myself still feeling very uncomfortable. I managed to get up and sit up right while using a pillow to support my aching back.
I decided to rethink how so many women were able to pull through this discomfort so that they could give birth to more than one, two, three and more. I thought of crying, but my tears refused to come out. I let out a yawn and kept staring at my protruding tummy.
I wondered what next I could do to keep me comfortable because I was beginning to lose it. It started to feel like the house was becoming hotter to me despite the fact that the windows were very open and a ceiling fan was turning. I looked by my side and saw my sister sleeping comfortably on the bed while I sat in total discomfort.

The hunger for food I had tripled and I jerked from my bed softly. I went straight to the kitchen. Before I opened the pot I was praying in my heart that my younger brother had not finished the food, if not, I know I will be doing some fasting and it won't be funny.
I closed my eyes gently as I held on to the pot cover, I opened the pot cover gently and opened one of my eyes slowly to take a look and what was I seeing, did I just see some leftovers? I opened my other eyes to be sure and truly there was actually leftover rice in the pot. I took a cooking spoon immediately and scooped. I also filled an empty coke bottle with water and literally ran out of the kitchen to devour my food.

I ate like someone who had been starving without food for a long time. After gulping everything, I didn't feel satisfied. I went and scooped another one and ate, then I became satisfied. After eating the second portion, I could not get up from my seat. I later struggled to reach out for a chair pillow which I used in supporting my back while I sat on a mat, leaning on a wall with the support of the chair pillow.
I sat there for thirty minutes and then I began to feel sleepy. I couldn't pack my plates back to the kitchen. I just managed to get up and slowly stepped into the bedroom. I struggled to lie on the bed again. Then it dawned on me that I had over fed myself (but it's not my fault, I actually felt like eating a whole cow). I lay down gently then I closed my eyes to sleep guess what. I was heavily pressed with urine. I just laid down about five minutes ago. What am I supposed to do now? I struggled to get up, rushed to the toilet as the urine was almost out, peed like my life depended on it and went back to bed.
I thought that was all but I peed about five times before the day broke and the night discomfort was a story for another day. I found real sleep about the early hours of 4:00am to 7:00am
