BTDT and those at the very end

When did you start to become very uncomfortable? I will be 31 weeks Wednesday and for the most part still feel good. I am anticipating it getting worse though, just wanted a timeframe of when it really kicks in.

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

Probably somewhere around 32-34 weeks. My feet were so swollen and was uncomfortable sleeping.

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

never, not REALLY uncomfortable. i gave birth at 40w2d and was on the floor scrubbing behind my toilets the night before

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

hopefully that means you won't be uncomfortable at all!!

For me, it was 31-32 weeks... I can't bend and sleeping sometimes hurts.

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

I am 37w 3d and really only started to get uncomfortable during the last couple of weeks. Mostly it's just annoying though - I am still working full time and getting done whatever I have to, but I pay for it if I overdo it and am having a lot of trouble sleeping. No swelling or anything yet.

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

I'm 35 weeks and most of the time I feel ok, every few days I feel terrible, low pain and pressure, I could barely walk. It's soooo hard for me to fall asleep at night so then I'm really tired during the day. This baby is constantly moving and pushing and poking around that gets really uncomfortable. I was taking it very easy for the last few weeks but now that I'm getting further along I'm doing more which is making me feel worse but its really hard to do nothing, especially with a 2.5yo.

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

i never got uncomfortable. i had my son at 39w. some people just luck out i guess

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

BTDT here and I have to be honest.
I never really got that uncomfy!
And I delivered at the end of June and it was HOT

Yes, my feet were swollen like you wouldn't believe- but they were like that from my 2nd tri on- I was used to it.

The only thing I can say is that the day before I started having contractions, that night I was uncomfy.
I was getting up to pee every 5 minutes.
I was getting a shooting pain down my thigh that would stop me in my tracks and bring tears to my eyes.
Then the next morining was I having some irregular and far apart, mild contractions. (though at the time I didn't know that is what it was)

But other than that- I was fine until the end and not at ALL anxious to get the baby out.
I could have kept her in another month if I had to!

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

For my 1st child, sharp shooting pains & lots of pressure at 32 weeks. I only remember it because I saw a friend of mine & I remarked how uncomfortable I was. 2 weeks later when I had the baby (6 weeks early than I was supposed to), she said she didn't' realize it at the time but those symptoms were her signs of labor.

With dd, at 36 weeks I was uncomfortable. Had her at 39 weeks.

36 weeks

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

I was still working on my due date lol, I felt great! It really wasnt until about the week before I delivered (I was 10days late) that I started feeling terribly uncomfortable.

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

I was ok until 34/35 weeks or so. I was just so big that it was hard to sleep.

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

I'll be 39 weeks on Wednesday and I'm still not uncomfortable! I feel great, I'm still commuting into the city, working full time, doing all of my cleaning. You might not get uncomfortable. I just wake up a lot during the night to use the bathroom, but besides that I'm comfortable. Hopefully you don't get uncomfortable!

BTDT and those at the very end

I am hoping I feel good til the end!

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

With my frist pregnancy, I had severe swelling which started around 29 weeks. I started to get very uncomfortable shortly after that.

This time, I had some swelling and the 3rd trimester aches and pains around 33 weeks. I'm 36.5 weeks. There are times when I'm uncomfortable, but I still feel ok. I've definitely slowed down recently though. When I try to do too much either at work or on the weekends, I get pretty swollen and get a decent amount of Braxton Hicks.

Re: BTDT and those at the very end

I am 36 weeks and last week is when I started to feel uncomfy but most of the time I am good and I seem to have more energy. There is less room and my baby went from being breech to head in position so that is what was uncomfy when she was moving big time although now she is in position there is a lot of pressure and it presses on the bladder and I kind of like her in the breech postion better...
