but I really can't wait to not be pregnant anymore.
1. I have restless legs. I've only had it while I've been pregnant. It's so, so annoying. And it better go away after LO is born or I'm gonna flip out.
2. TMI but I should have bought stocks in bathroom wet ones. I haven't had a normal BM for months.
3. I sweat like a pig now.
4. Although this has nothing to do with pregnancy, I can't stop coughing. It's driving me insane. And of course, I was coughing today...and peed a little. How nice.
5. Even doing the smallest things....I loose my breath. I start heaving like a chain smoker.
6. I'm super duper excited to sleep on my back.
I'm sure there are more....
Re: I don't mean to complain...
I think 3rd tri is horrible for most people. I had a pretty good pregnancy and then 3rd tri hit and I became so miserable. I'm exhausted, emotional (crying), back ache, peeing a ton, I'm getting restless legs now, and acid reflux is by far the worse thing for me. And hey, I'm only 31wks..can't wait till I'm as far a long as you.
Hope u feel better and your LO comes soon (not late)

I do mean to complain
1. I can't get comfortable in ANY position.
2. My feet can't fit any of my cute shoes.
3. I hate everyone's "advice". If I don't ask you don't tell me.
4. I tried to avoid "the waddle" for the entire time I've been pregnant and now my hip hurts and I can't avoid it anymore.
5. My poor DH has turned into a culinary genius to keep from starving to death because I'm too lazy to get off the couch when I get home from work/ school.
LOL...I like this one...
be on the bottom again for a good romp
I totally agree.
I don't have the restless legs, but I have everything else you mentioned. I'll also throw in carpal tunnel syndrome. I wear wrist braces to sleep, but they are no longer effective. And now my hands get numb from the smallest things like holding a cell phone or brushing my hair.
I have carpal tunnel too, from my hands and wrists being so swollen! My legs are so swollen--I have elephant legs! I haven't seen my ankle bones in six weeks, I have serious cankles. The only shoes I can wear are flip flops and while they are comfortable, they make it quite evident how swollen I am. Just today this old woman in the elevator with me said, "Look at those swollen feet! You poor dear!" Gee thanks.
Carpal tunnel is horrible. I had a terribly painful case of it when I was pregnant with DS1 and it's starting to get bad now. I'm really dreading the next 5.5 weeks because of it.
And having a cold/cough while pregnant is pure torture. I'm on my second bout of coughing (the first one lasted two weeks! and was during my second trimester) and I just want to cry.

I don't mean to complain but...
after nursing for just over a year and getting pregnant very shortly thereafter I really want a drink that I get carded for.
every shirt I wear models my lovely outie belly button.
I have to hold my breath to shave areas of my legs. Despite it getting warmer and warmer, these areas are going to become more and more neglected.
I miss wearing my own, cute, every day clothing.
Big brother and sister are excited to meet the new baby! It's a GIRL!

I would like to ditto each and every one of your points! And I HATE when people tell me "Oh honey, you still have a loooong way to go!" Yeah hi, I know that, that's why it makes me so much more uncomfortable now. Kthanks! (Yep, I start talking like a sassy teenager when people make me mad LOL)
While I'm not necessarily "miserable" I am very easily annoyed. My ankles and feet are so swollen I can barely walk. I miss sleeping with my husband (gave that up 3 months ago). Sex is nothing more than a memory. I'm so big he can't be on top and he can't stand having me on top plus its hard to get anywhere when you have to keep gasping for air. I've started the whole "nesting" thing which is horrible cuz all I want to do is clean but if I don't lay down when I get home I'm up all night crying in pain cuz of my legs and back. Oh and now I have pregnant lady insomnia. All it takes is for me to get a lil to awake after one of my 6 pee runs a night and I'm up the rest of the night just laying there going "please come out baby".
I wish I didn't have to go to work anymore. Me & my grand ideas of "If I work the whole time the whole pregnancy will go faster". I need slapped. What was I thinking?
