Hello Third Trimester!

annashaf

It is my opinion that the third trimester starts at 27 weeks pregnant, when you enter the 28th week of pregnancy. So, if you’re there, celebrate with me and let everyone know how you’re feeling!!

K, so me! Yay!! 27 weeks today!! Overall, I’m feeling great. I hate mornings (but that’s nothing new…) and get easily winded. No other aches or complaints, really. My back is “weak” and gets irritated if I do too much but I also know that I do a LOT and even my husband can’t keep up with me (nesting much??). My app tells me I’ve put on too much weight, and that weighs on me (pardon the pun). Not because I’m weight obsessed, but because I don’t want it to get out of hand and cause complications. I have my 3 hr glucose test tomorrow and REALLY hoping I pass. For now though, just riding this wave of feeling wonderful!

27 weeks today! 
So here we are, still on bedrest. I get really winded and exhausted if I do too much. I'll be going for my glucose test next Tuesday. I'll be getting another growth scan at 32 weeks. This last one at 26 weeks, baby boy was absolutely not going to cooperate, and faced my spine the entire time. This kid has major sass and he's not even earthside yet! 
My hips and back give me the most problems, while digestion-wise, it's all heartburn. Pepto and Mylanta are the only two things that can contend with this level of stomach lava.

27 weeks today! I *thought* I would begin feeling better in the second trimester, and I guess over-all I have, but I’m still sick (usually before breakfast and when I try to lay down at night) and I feel like a fire breathing dragon. My OB has prescribed prescription heart burn meds, but they wear off by noon and it’s back to Tums. My back and hips have started hurting, naturally, and “a goods night rest” is a thing of the past. I miss sleep so much. 😅 
I am out of breath easy but I keep doing as much as I can right now because I am beginning to feel the physical limitations of the ever-growing bump. (Like, when did the ground get so far away???). I’ve been cleaning the church nursery for baby boy when he gets here (hasn’t been used in 10 years) and the elderly ladies of the church can’t believe I want to throw away a few things, including the 15-20 year old crib mattress that has a literal hole in the middle it’s wallered out so bad. Me & DH decided we’re just gonna “donate” a new one w/ bedding so maybe it doesn’t step on toes. We have to have it though, since we both work for the church and we got to be there. So y’all say a little prayer that they don’t drive me nuts just trying to clean out that poor room lol. 

@DarkSerendipity I have my 3rd AS the 21st because my baby boy was breeched facing my spine in my last 2 US lol! I’m gonna drink some ice cold water otw to this appointment so maybe he’ll move around a little more and cooperate.

@sph97 I feel you on no more “good night’s rest”.  I was getting mediocre rest until just last week and now it just sucks. I believe it’s because I completely can’t sleep in my stomach now. Until 26 weeks I was still able to do a modified version of almost stomach sleeping with a knee tucked up really high by my hip but that’s done now. I’m pretty sure I feel myself wake up every time I turn from one side to another now because it’s not easy, it’s such a process. I’m going to bed by 9 or 9:30 (I’ve never done this in my life. I’ve ALWAYS been a night owl) and my Fitbit still only clocks me sleeping less than 7 hours 😱 Waaaahh lol. I know sleep is hard to come by when baby is born too but at least then my body can get comfortable enough to sleep a little deeper then? Idk 😅

Now that I’m done complaining lol I will leave my gif here. I’m 27+3 so I guess it’s fair to say I’m the third tri now!!

@happynapper I told my husband the other day it’s so cruel how exhausted we are making the baby, to be completely exhausted once baby gets here too 🙈

I told DH I could now be considered as in the 3rd trimester and he just looked at me with this face of pure horror. Guess it hit him that we’ve done nothing to prepare this time around 😂

@happynapper I feel this rant so hard except switch stomach to back. My entire night is just waking up and flipping from one side to another 😭

germainejeleed

@happynapper Man, I know! I wish I could stay asleep instead of waking up 15 times to reposition or use the bathroom... Ugh..

But, I'm 28 weeks today! I guess I've been in the third tri this past week! Woo! (If i knew how to gif I would)

jackdetroit

28+1 today. My body has been thinking its in the 3rd tri for weeeeks though 😂

b_1029

27+1 today so I think I go here now! Whaaaaaat. 

namedcarla

29+2 today and we have done absolutely nothing to prepare! Well we have tried to do things like order nursery furniture and wallpaper, but it is all so backordered nothing has come yet. Which is annoying because nesting is hitting hard!

pajamstagrams

Everything hurts! 28+1 today

jandawg

28w and hitting the midwife, pelvic floor physio, AND an ultrasound all in one day!

My chant while giving birth to my first daughter was " it's ok, soon I'll be able to sleep on my stomach." My husband repeated that to me through my contractions while holding my hand😂 Just a heads up that breast engorgement is a real thing so it might be just a biit longer than what you expect before you get that blissful tummy sleep. At least if you wake up on your back you don't have to force yourself to roll on your side 😉

MrsLaLaBug

It’s finally my turn!! I can’t believe some of y’all are gonna have babies for a whole MONTH before I do!! I’m so jealous! 

And846

@MrsLaLaBug
Totally surreal that in 7-9 weeks a baby could be here. It’s operation get s*** done now! 

kham130

@And846 DH and I had plans to do lots around the house this weekend, but talked ourselves out of it by saying LO could come in 7 weeks and that would need to fully take advantage of our last couple childfree weekends. It was the best decision lol 

sph97

@And846 the reality of how close we are to meeting our baby is definitely setting in! 

brookejay06

@MrsLaLaBug I feel you… I’m just now 28 weeks and anticipating another full 12 🙄 The fact that some of us will be done with labor and already healing while we’re still waiting around for D day is ughhhhhhhh

tacosandtums

I’ll be 28 weeks on Friday…. Can’t wait to join the party… and also to say “I’m in my THIRD trimester” as an excuse for everything 😂

sjloftin2

I’m 27weeks +3 days. I had a come to Jesus with my hubby like you know we have a baby coming right. We have so much to do. And sleep what is sleep 😩. I miss sleeping on my stomach so much.
