Third Tri blues (vent)

ashcart01

I am barely into third tri and I already feel like crap. I'm always hot, my feet are swollen and I am really sore. I've been put on "no activity" and threatened with bed rest so enjoying the nice weather has been difficult. I was very fit pre-pregnancy and now my legs look like they got hit with a meteor shower.

DH surprised me with a gift card for an elective 3D/4D u.s at 30 weeks, so that was super nice

Someone please tell me that third tri will fly by?

It flies by until about 36 weeks. If you can still work I recommend it! I stopped working at 36.5 weeks and have been going crazy waiting for her to come. Currently 38.5 weeks and feel like she is content to stay in there forever.

I can still work, which is nice. I'm a teacher and I spend a lot of my day with my feet propped up on a chair! if I couldn't work I'd go crazy!

It flies by in some ways and crawls by in others!!  For your swollen feet I would try to increase your water (though understandably that's difficult and will only result in more bathroom trips!) and put your feet up as much as possible.  If you're still at work, put a box under your desk so your feet can be elevated a bit while you're seated.  I'm at 32 weeks tomorrow and cannot wait for this to be over!!  I am delighted and blessed to be getting a baby out of this, but I HATE being pregnant. 

 Feel better!

I am 30 weeks today!!! She is moving like crazy I love it because I know that she is doing okay, but I am getting very big! haha

 30 weeks - I have gained 13lbs and it is getting hard to sleep. 

I'm wondering if Glowing means Fat?? If so I am glowing!!

I'm 30 weeks today too! I can't wait until the Goodwill sale in 3 weeks so I can buy some shorts. I'm in Indiana & I can't believe it's this warm already & it's only March! My last day of work is May 19th & have a feeling I'll end up having all baby-related stuff done by then! Well....maybe. Hopefully! Probably will end up just cleaning & sitting around playing video games until baby girl gets here! I'm gonna talk to my doc at my appointment next Monday about how long I would go over if I go past my due date. I have a feeling she'll be stubborn like her father & I'll have to be induced at 42 weeks!

Ha ha, lol.  Good luck with it flying by:)  Best thing to do is keep yourself busy so you aren't dwelling on things.  Easier said than done though.  This is my 4th and the 3rd trimester is always miserable for me.  Live it up now because if you are uncomfortable at 30 weeks you are only going to feel worse by 38.  Sorry, wish I could be more positive for you.  Clearly my 3rd trimester is nice and uncomfortable too:)
