I remember feeling absolutely huge when I neared the end of my pregnancies. Hang in there! Baby will be here soon enough. For your and baby's sake, I hope you have a vaginal birth. If you have a c-section, I would recommend you start probiotics sooner rather than later with baby because she will not be naturally inoculated via a vaginal birth. Her gut floral may need help reaching a healthy baseline even if you do choose to breastfeed.
