How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

32 weeks and I can say I am ready for this to come. The insomnia has driven me crazy this pg and now she seems to be shifting her positions when I try to lie down and I just cannot get comfortable.

I am just so excited to get to meet her in 5 weeks!!!!

How is everyone else doing???

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

I feel uncomfortable if I stand for any length of time. I am SO sick of maternity clothes and will be glad to be done with them.

Getting up at least once a night hasn't been fun either!

I am getting so excited to meet my and have a ton left to do

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

going to be 39 weeks tomorrow and still feel good and working. I'm actually surprised. I do get tired if I'm standing too long or winded walking around too much. Sleep hasn't been so bad since we got that new foam mattress pad that shapes to your body. Love it Although turning from one side to another is a chore and the bathroom issues suck. I go #1 and #2 all day long. The end is sooo close

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

34 weeks here and sooooo sick of being PG. Getting very uncomfortable, and not sleeping much due to extreme heartburn.

SOOOO ready to meet my little man and get rid of this ginormous belly!

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

I'm ready to meet my !! She can come anytime she's ready now.
I know I'll miss her being in my belly, but I am ready to get my body back. Come on baby, come out and play!!!

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

28 weeks is in the 3rd tri right?

I'm feeling yucky BAD back pains. Feet are swelling up like big old balloons! I can not sleep for nothing at night or get comfy.And I'm noticing I can't eat as much as I did in the 1st and 2nd tri. I get full so fast. So I've been eating 4 smaller meals in the day with snacks in between. But I'm LOVING when I feel those kicks that makes all the pain and discomfort go away. I CAN NOT wait to meet my peanut!!! 83 more days!!

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

30 weeks and feeling pretty good...I can't believe how time flies! My stepsister had her baby early Saturday morning and holding her gave me serious baby fever!!!

The only minor complaint I have is regarding food. I'm hungry frequently but nothing really sounds appealing me to me and once I make a decision I can't eat nearly as much as I used to...I feel like such a waster - even though DH will gladly finish my plate for me!

Anyone else turned off by food and not able to eat as much as they used to?

ETA: My left ankle has been swollen in the evenings for no reason

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

I'm 30 weeks and still feeling great. I have some back pain when I get up or bend down, but it goes away pretty quickly. I know I'll probablt feel alot more achy as I get a little futher along. Mostly I'm just sooooooo anxious to meet my little This pregnancy has seemed soooooo long and I finally feel like I'm getting (somewhat) close!!

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

Tired! I am tired when I wake up. I get winded walking up a flight of stairs. I tried to clean the bathroom last night and I was so uncomfortable bending. I have 10 weeks left, but it seems so far away!

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

I am doing okay -- I don't like to sit for too long. Esp on the couch or my office chair b/c they don't have enough back support.

I watched a Baby Story this weekend and feel inspired to start getting things organized and ready

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

i'm alive and kickin'.....

hands are horrible (carpal tunnel)
naseau started last week - but i have good and bad days....

she was in a MAJOR funky position last night making things very uncomfortable for me ...

internals start at TOMORROW's doc appointment

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

37.5 weeks and ready to go. Could be worse so I cant complain much. Just overall uncomfortable, heartburn and a sore back when I sit too long. Have a dr. appt tomorrow hoping that will speed things along!

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

31 weeks here

Feel decent during the day, its the evenings/nights that bother me...swollen ankles and peeing through the night really messes up my sleep, and waking up w/numb hands

and I have another appt tomorrow, I'm wondering what will be done, or if its just a regular one

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

36 weeks here and I am so done with being pregnant. I started having the extreme nausea issue again which stinks big time. My carpal tunnel is getting worse and now my feet, ankles and legs are 3 times the size they should be. It makes it so difficult to wear sneakers. Thank god I live in the south and it is like 80 degrees out almost everyday.

I have my next NST and internal visit on Friday.

I can remember when I was pg with DS he never made me feel this bad... Guess second time around is a bit*h.... All I want to do is

Thank god I have my c-section in just 22 more days..... YAY!!!

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

I am 34 weeks and still feeling good. My allergies have been bothering me the past week but pregnancy wise I feel good. I am kind of tired by the end of the day and I try to relax and put my feet up when I get home. I feel like I am ready for this baby to come though. We got a lot done around the house lately. Now I want to get the car seat bases installed in our cars.

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

32 weeks 4 days... I feel fine during the day (for the most part) but quite uncomfortable at night lately. I'm such a flip flop sleeper and since my stomach is long out, back is out, right side is not too comfy, my left side is all I have and I get antsy sleeping in the same position all night. And the baby seems to be getting most wiggly at night now.

I have days that are crazy productive and then I'm a limp noodle all the next day. I have no desire to cook dinner because I have no appetite myself.

If I get my rest, I'm great! If not...

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

31 weeks 3 days here! Only 59 days left!
Nighttime is horrible!!! I toss and turn (with difficulty ) all night, and i have to get up to pee over 1-2 hours!!!
I hardly get 2 hours of full sleep and then it takes me about an hour to fall back to sleep!


i am sooo excited but still have more to do!

However I am waiting to do a lot bc my shower is in 2 weeks and I want to see what I get before I go out and buy even more things.

WE ARE GETTING CLOSE!!!

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

Just about 29 weeks and I'm feeling great! The only discomfort I'm having is lower back pain if I sit too long and my big, fat feet! I'm finding that my daily, long walks are really helping me feel energized and good. To be honest, I'm so not ready for this baby, so I'm more than happy for it to cook as long as it wants!

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

32 weeks here. I feel GREAT on the weekends when I don't have to do the commute and sit at my desk all day long.
I can't wait to start organizing the nursery some more after my shower this coming Sunday!
I cannot believe how fast this is going..I am so excited to meet my baby but starting to get scared about labor and delivery...

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

We are trying to finish up last minute things since I have about 3 weeks left or less. I'm VERY surprised b.c I was miserable with DD but I feel great this time around. I only really hurt when I get up after laying down for a while.

I've had some insomnia but luckily not too bad so far and not every night. Just can't believe I'm almost there!!!

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?

i will be 31 weeks on friday and i feel good. ofcourse i have uncomfotable days esp. after i eat or when i am tired usually at night my feet and fingers are swollen but my blood pressure is good so im not too worried it doesnt really bother me i am still working and will continue til i cant anymore

Re: How are the third trimester Mommies doing?
