Greetings from hell — that is, the third trimester of my high-risk pregnancy with fraternal twins. Unlike every pregnant person on Instagram who is either waltzing around a meadow, cradling their bump in total bliss, or sorting through chic baby decor somewhere in their 7,000 square foot mansion, I have found pregnancy to be abhorrent. 

I spent the first four months puking multiple times a day, thanks to sky-high pregnancy hormones.
