How do you feel about the third trimester?

I'm exhausted and ready to be done too.  I'm crabby and uncomfortable and can't wait to feel like my old self again.

Anxious & excited. I have no idea what to expect but I can't wait to meet my princess. I've had "baby fever" for awhile & my SO & I got lucky on the first try

I am so tired all.the.time!! The insomnia is kicking my butt. And that I am chasing around my 14 month old who is so busy and into everything! Oh yea, did I mention he's teething too and cranky and hasn't slept through the night in like 2 weeks! I'm ready to just fall over but know that I'm really in for it once October rolls around!!

I'm kinda starting to freak out a little. Our lives are completely changing. I'm going to have a CHILD. I never thought I'd have kids. And here I am, 10 weeks from my due date. I saw my brother today and he asked me, "9 weeks left?" I said "no, 10." And his response was "well it really could be like, 5 weeks". I'm like "OMG dont say that!" Because it really could only be 5 weeks. You never know at this point in the game. And I have nothing other than clothes, diapers, and a swing. The furniture isn't put together and we dont have a room for her. Cue my freaking out this afternoon. :-S

This seriously just gave me a panic episode.

Uhh.. right?! Because I never thought of that. Realistically, it very well could be only 5 weeks. Aaaahhhh!!! X_X

I'm in a birth class with a bunch of other ladies due in September/October. Well last week, one of them wasn't there, and when we asked, our instructor said she delivered early at 35 weeks. I've been in a slight panic ever since and thinking that my baby is going to come at 35 weeks. Which is three weeks from now for me. Gulp.

I'm excited to meet LO and we're pretty much "ready," but I'm also getting nervous about DS...he loves me so much and we have such a special bond, and when I snuggle him to sleep at night and think of having to divide my attention between him and the new baby, I get incredibly nervous and a little sad. I know I'll still be able to snuggle him and that the gift of a sibling is such a wonderful thing, but I'm just starting to struggle with all the changes and worry for him. Sigh.

I worry about this a lot. It really scares me because DD takes all of the attention and energy I have, so I have no idea how having a newborn is going to effect that and the dynamic of our relationship.

But....I keep telling myself all the reasons why having another baby and a sibling for DD is great. I think that's all we can do and just ride it out.

Errrmg. I'm so anxious I'm up at 4am bumping. I finally washed bebes new clothes but obsessing over breastfeeding, cord care, cloth diapering, training a work replacement & making sure dh has enough snacks for the birth center bc I WILL freak out if he leaves me. I blame the supermoon. And pregnancy. Well I start my childbirth ed class tomorrow (tonight?) But I'll be a hot mess with no sleep.

For me this has become the most tired and uncomfortable point. I've never had any health issues through out my pregnancy but on the other hand, I honestly can't say I've enjoyed being pregnant. So many physical limitations. When you're used to steep hiking trails, hard core work outs, and sports, this summer is a tad borning. But I any wait to take my little man on my adventures once he's big enough.

Like so many PP's on here I'm excited, but I'm also super nervous. I so want to be able to make it through labor without drugs, but hearing about the stages in our childbirth class has must made me more anxious. We put together a mini-outline for our birth plan this weekend and reading about Pitocin and possible tears when delivering and all the other potential things to worry about has made me a bundle of anxiety.

But when not thinking about labor I am thinking I can't wait to see this little one (team green) and see if it's a boy or girl. Also a bit overwhelmed for while we've accomplished a lot, the to do list is still quite long and not sure how we're going to get it all done, but mostly excited to bring this little bundle of love into the world.

@pnwlover12‌ I really wasn't worried about this early on. I think that just seeing how close we're getting and how my boy still needs me so much (I mean, realistically that was and is not going to change, but I wasn't seeing my August son back in March...) has made me more nervous. :-/

I have the kind of personality who worries about everything. All the time. Non stop.

I do feel like I am less worried about the actual birthing portion, as Hypnobirthing has REALLY helped me out in that regard, and I am much calmer and educated about my options.

Pregnancy feels both slow and fast...time is flying by, we're so busy for the upcoming month or more and I'm amazed that baby is due in less than 10 weeks! It's insane!

The negative side is that my back is getting bad again, and I'm not sleeping. So work is really getting hard...I feel out of it all the time now!
