How is everyone feeling?

coco2787

I'm 31 weeks today, and other than heartburn and an unpredictable stomach at times I'm physically feeling pretty good still. No swelling or back pain yet. I've gained between 25 and 30 lbs and I am on my feet for work 6 to 7 hours a day. I'm wondering how far along everyone is and how they are feeling physically? Partially just to know what to expect in the coming weeks and to see how much longer I can last at work as I haven't decided what my official last day of work will be. I'm due July 25th and would like to be able to work through most of, or all of June if possible.

I'm 30w2d. I'm tired and have had back pain since first tri was like this with DS too. Keeping up with a toddler all day has been rough, and occasional heartburn isn't fun.

I am 33 weeks today. A little heartburn, very tired, some back and feet pain and been feeling a little nauseous the last couple days right when I get up. Nothing major really, just annoyances.

I am 31 weeks also, and for the most part I feel great!  Besides the weight gain and waking up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I haven't had any issues since my 16th week (morning sickness subsided). I am dreading the last month though.  I fear what's in store for me!

I'm 33 wks. and backaches are my main annoyance.  Not much swelling, I take zantac daily so no heartburn or nausea unless I skip a dose. I make the normal frequent runs to the bathroom but I'm otherwise pretty good. The backache started 3 days ago, warm baths and tylenol have kept it tamed so far.

It would be nice to feel better and have more energy. For the last few days the BH contractions have been very uncomfortable and quite frequent. I spend a lot of time lying down and resting, can't do too much at a time. I go in for non-stress tests weekly and I tell the doctor how I am feeling and any concerns I may have. The LO and I are doing well and I am doing what I am supposed to be doing and the doctor has no concerns.I am hoping I get that burst of energy or nesting soon, still have things to get done before she gets here!

I am 33 weeks. Tired, swelling hands and feet, frequent bathroom trips, and general uncomfortableness. Overall I feel pretty good, I am trying to take it easy when I can but am still teaching and already having two kids at home makes that hard sometimes. I just cannot wait until school is over so I can start getting ready for the new one.

I've had a few bad days here and there but feel great for the most part.  I'm having some trouble keeping up with DS as he likes to take off running when he gets the chance.   I have pretty bad varicose veins in one leg so that hurts and the insomnia is getting bad but those are my only real complaints at this point.  I've also been moody and emotional so that's no fun for me or my poor DH!

33 weeks today. My concerns are swelling which is thanks to humidity and not being able to put my feet up at work. I also get really uncomfortable belly wise at the end of the day. My belly gets big and she's on my right side which just feels stuffed. Other than that, no issues so I consider myself really lucky!

I'm 31 weeks today. I've gained 8 pounds. I've been doing okay with the heartburn, reflux and nausea. I really don't have any of that. My major problem is my back, especially my lower back. Sciatica pain is intense most nights. Hubby gives me a massage every night c: today I feel like I got hit with a truck. We cleaned out and re arranged our room so I'm pretty sure I over Did it.

I'm 32w2d and feeling great! Baby is moving a lot still and it is uncomfortably only when she is tapping or kicking way down low near my cervix! Sometimes she is way up high scrunched in a ball and others way down low and it gets uncomfortable to sit. I have gained too much weight which is a little depressing... 35 to 40lb so far aahhh! I need to really get back in the Zumba and boot camp mode after LO is here! Other than that, I feel wonderful! No pain, BH, or swelling yet... Just heartburn now and again.

31 weeks. My hips, spinal fractures and torso are killing me. Other than that this heartburn just kicked in. I'm going to be counting these last 9 weeks!

I am 33 weeks today, and feeling alright. I have gained 13 lbs, it's all baby out front lol It's getting hard to sleep I toss and turn from side to side alot, getting up to go to the bathroom at least 4 times every night. Other than that just anxious to meet our boy! 6 weeks to go and counting down

I am 31w5d and i am feeling okay. Ive been gassy the last few days which has been painful in the evenings and constipation is the pits. LO loves punching my gallbladder so those pains which were there in first tri are flared up with every tap of the organ. I still try to get to the gym at least 2 days a week plus yoga on sundays. Back pain started at week 16, but going to yoga every week has really done wonders. I dont really care for the scale these days, but i do love the curvyness and love to flaunt the bump.

I'm feeling good for the most part. 35w4d and I've gained 28 pounds - 6 of those in the last 3 weeks or so. I'm still not feeling super hungry, but trying to stay away from too much sugar and keeping salt down to a minimum.

My feet have been swelling at the end of the day, but it was actually worse last week and better this week (see: avoiding salt). I go to the bathroom about 393932 times each night which makes deep sleeping hard. I've also had trouble staying on my side so I wake up with numb legs and short breathed a few times a night. My doctor says as long as I keep waking up it's fine :P I also just have a hard time falling back to sleep and will have stretches of insomnia that last 1/2 of the night. I've been taking Benadryl about 3x/week on nights when I REALLY need to sleep just so I'm not a total zombie. Without it I'd guess I get about 3-4 hours of sleep a night.

I take Zantac to help with heartburn but still have to dig into the Tums once or twice a day. Back has started hurting quite a bit in the last few days -- especially up near my ribs. I used to have sciatica but it magically (!) went away a few months before I got pregnant and hasn't returned. It's novel to have back pain in my upper back. Taking a bath at night in epsom salts helps a lot.

BH contractions a few times a day - usually when I overdo it or haven't had enough water. They go away when I drink water and lie down on my left side for 20 minutes or so. If the next 4-6 week stay in this vein, I'll be a happy camper!
