Third Trimester Ladies
Its finally catching up with me... I had been doing really well all throughout this pregnancy, and now all of a sudden, at 30 weeks, I've got leg cramps, hip pain, in my abdomen(weird!) and I'm definitely not sleeping as well.
The one thing that keeps me happy is feeling the little one inside of me bouncing around! Otherwise, I'm ready for a vacation!!!
Anyone else feeling this way? (I think I just needed to vent!!!)

Re: Third Trimester Ladies
Yes! I woke up this morning screaming from a leg cramp, my heartburn is unbearable and I feel like I am waddling!!
Plus...i feel overwhelmed with all the things to get ready (we still have to move!!!)
You are right, the only good thing is feeling the baby.

Re: Third Trimester Ladies
yes....I stopped sleeping through the night 3 weeks ago. I have a cold that won't go way. I'm so tired. The commute to work is getting uncomfortable. I'm so ready for this baby to be born.

Re: Third Trimester Ladies
I have such trouble walking at the end of the day, i woudlnt even call it waddling, I dont know what it is, but I get very achy towards the end of the day.
I am still sleeping alot though, i get up about 2xs a night to pee, but i am usually able to go right back to sleep

Re: Third Trimester Ladies
Yeah- I am SO tired all the time, and when I wake up (at least 3x a night to use the can) my legs are killing me. At least my doctor made me start my leave early (which I wasn't happy about, but I know I needed it) so I can nap during the day, if I need to. I really have a hard time getting comfy at night.

Re: Third Trimester Ladies
I know exactly how you feel. I am just exhausted, cannot sleep through the night, have been getting horrible leg cramps, back pains, just everything. I can't wait for my little man to come out so I can feel like myself again!

Re: Third Trimester Ladies
My back has been killing me and I don't sleep well b/c my dog and DH take up the WHOLE bed and steal the blankets
I actually don't feel like I am waddling yet, but I think that will be soon. This kid is starting to grow OUT now and he moves around ALL of the time. DH and I could feel his head the other morning

Re: Third Trimester Ladies
As long as I don't overdue it, I'm fine. I did do too much on Saturday and my legs were very itchy and swollen so I put my legs only in the jacuzzi tub. The jets really helped to soothe them.
I stopped working at 29 weeks which is the max my doc would let me work given how much walking and standing I have to do. There is no way I could still do it physically. He was too concerned about possible blood pressure issues.
I've been home now but doing a lot around the house, errands etc. I just get done about half of what I used to be able to do any given day and take lots of breaks with my feet up.
It really depends upon what position they are in, some days are more comfortable than others.
No real sleep issues.

Re: Third Trimester Ladies
I'm at 32 weeks, and so far (oh man I am so afraid to say anything else...) things have been ok!!!
No leg cramps, back feels fine - this morning, putting on my regular work shoes, they felt tight, so I'm assuming my feet are swelling. I have been exhausted, but i also have been working 50 hour weeks and moving. We went away this weekend and i did nada, and slept all wknd.... I have felt rested and wonerful ever since....
People told me that the only "good" trimester is the second trimester. 1st was miserable for me, and I have to see the 2nd s ucked for the most part too with continued m/s... I have to say that at 32 wks, I realize I am finally enjoying being pregnant.... I don't have that "So ready" to have the baby feeling that I have heard so many women have... maybe in a few more weeks though....

Re: Third Trimester Ladies
I have some leg swelling from early on...no biggie, no high blood pressure no issues..they are letting them stay in as long as possible because things are peachy right now.
I sleep ok, really do not need any side pillows and am grateful to say--started to get a cramp 1x and stopped it.
My dh gets ones for me..sympathy ones I guess.
Oh.,heartburn bad but thats what tums are for,
Oh..I guess only real complaint is sitting is bad-and I get bad stretching pains from side to back--but everytime I get them they have a growth spurt so u take the good with the bad!
I expected alot more with this pregnancy.
