3rd tri "slump"

MrsWhiteonWhiteSt

My whole pg with DS and the 1st 2 trimesters of this pg I felt like my normal happy self; excited, motivated etc...

This last week I feel like I've been so out of it. I just feel so heavy, slow and grumpy. Even DH pointed out I've been in a "mood". I feel guilty like I should be all "light at the end of the tunnel" happy & excited to meet the LO's in a few weeks- but instead I'm a total crab. 

Is this the wall that everyone talks about? Any tips?

That's the wall. I hated that damn wall lol I have no tips. I sat on the couch. Then again, I got put on bedrest right after i "hit the wall".

I'm right there with you!  (but I've also been on bedrest for 10 weeks already)  I really hit that wall around 29 weeks and have been so uncomfortable and grouchy since then, and my appetite has disappeared (probably because it feels like my stomach can't hold more than 2 bites of food anymore).  I've found that when I take a nap during the day, I feel a bit better at night, but beyond that, I don't have any tips except to rest, take it easy and remember that you're almost there!!

I know exactly how you feel!  I hit that same wall around the same time you're at now.  SO tired, and the light at the end of the tunnel still seems too far away to handle!  I can tell you that I just got as much rest as I possibly could, and in a week or two I felt so much better.  I'm 33w4d now and aside from still being really exhausted, my mood and outlook are SO much better!  Hang in there... it does get better, believe it or not!  Also, I don't know how well you're sleeping, but I was starting to feel really uncomfortable and as a result, was hardly sleeping at night around then.  I started taking benadryl to sleep (my MFM said it was totally safe) and I think the better nights' sleep has really helped everything too.  Worth a try!

I am a few weeks behind you and it really started getting hard for me this week. I had a mini breakdown tonight. My husband is a cpa at a public accounting firm. He goes in at 8 and works until midnight or later every weekend. He informed me tonight that he has to work a late night at the office tomorrow and also go in on Sunday. It is not his fault and I am grateful that I am able to stay home due to his job. My son is 18 months old and requires a lot of attention. I just want to lay on the couch for a few hours!

Sorry for venting on your post!
