27 weeks 5 days pregnant.. how's everyone feeling?

magicalbride2bee

Hi ladies! I am 27 weeks 5 days pregnant, and I wanted to know how everyone is feeling? I heard that the third trimester is the worse because it's so uncomfortable. I am not sure if I will hate it or love it. As of now, I'm still feeling pretty good! I have gained 18 pounds so far, and the weight is all in my belly (thank goodness!) Baby boy's due October 11, so hopefully everything will go well until the end of the pregnancy! Good luck, ladies!

I'm 30 weeks and change and I still feel ok. I do find myself getting more uncomfortable as the weeks go on. Not too terrible so far though. Still a little ways to go. Hope you have a great 3rd trimester!

I will be 39 weeks tomorrow. I've been having a lot of Braxton Hicks and slight pain when I walk around my pelvis and pubic area. Just a lot of pressure. I can tell things are loosening up for labor. I am just READY at this point!! C'mon baby!

I'm 28 weeks 5 days pregnant and although early into my 3rd trimester, this week for the first time ever I asked my husband to give me 5 minutes to sit down and rest before moving on with our errands for the day. I think that's the first time throughout this whole pregnancy I really felt pregnant. I'm always on the move and onto the next thing so I didn't recognize myself. I was sitting on a bench with one hand on my belly and the other on my lower back thinking... it's going to be a loooong 12 weeks. That thought was followed up with "OH CRAP, only 12 more weeks!!!"

38 weeks tomorrow and definitely feel it. I'm honestly not too bad off so long as I can keep changing positions, so sitting for a bit, lying on my sides for a bit, and standing and walking. But 8 hours in a desk chair at work is miserable and sleeping is next to impossible. And nothing fits anymore so that is pretty uncomfortable too!

But I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!

I am  27 weeks 4 days. Feeling okay. I've been having crazy painful leg cramps in the early morning. Sleeping is getting less and less.. not able to stay asleep for long at night. Failed my 1 hour Glucose test and had to do 3 hour test today. *cross fingers* Also found out I'm anemic so I need iron pills. Other than that just really enjoying being pregnant!

I'm 31 weeks and 1 day. I have quite a bit of back pain but nothing I can't handle. If I stand in one place too long I get dizzy, arms feel numb and my legs hurt, sometimes when I walk too much my sciatica nerve bothers me... other than that I really can't complain. I have only gained 6lbs and for the most part sleep soundly at night.

I just want it out so I can bend and lift my son without grunting.

HOT, HOT, HOT!!!  I feel like I'm in a sauna 24/7.  It doesn't help that the weather where I live has been disgustingly hot and humid so far this summer.  Up until a month ago, I was wondering why when I told people I was due in Aug the response was usually "I'm sorry".  You don't realize how much bigger and more uncomfortable you will get in the last two months.  I am also sleeping horribly.  Other than that, I am still enjoying being pregnant as much as can be expected.

Ugh! I agree! I live in PA and its reached 100 this week! People tell me that they're sorry when I tell them I'm due in October too! Haha! It must be because I will bet biggest in the summer haha

27 weeks 6 days today-baby girl is due October 10th.  It sounds like I'm carrying similar to you-all in the belly!  I'm feeling great, although I have noticed that after work I'm pretty exhausted.  That could have to do with the difficulty sleeping that I've been having.  I find I wake up sore (from sleeping on my side) and hungry between 2 and 4.  Having a glass of milk and some almonds helps me fall back asleep   Best of luck through the summer months!

Yep.  I live in NJ.  During the second trimester being pregnant was cute and fun.  Now people just look at me with pity in their eyes.

I'm 27 weeks 4 days today and so far I still feel pretty good.  In the morning when I first stand up from the bed I feel a lot of weight in my tummy that I am just still not used to, guess it will only be getting worse from here on out!
