3rd Trimester

When did you start to feel uncomfortable?

I just started feeling uncomfortable. Everything is getting harder to do. I knew this would happen eventually but I thought I had a few more weeks until it bugged me. Just curious, at what week did you start to feel uncomfortable?  


Re: When did you start to feel uncomfortable?

  • I know its only bound to get worse, but I've been uncomfortable for at least a few weeks now: backache, no sleep, restless legs, heartburn, easily fatigued, and on and on we go.

    Joyous. ?

    In the last two weeks I've noticed quite a change.  Reflux, swelling, trouble getting comfortable.  Oh well, it's what we signed up for.  Only a few more weeks to go!

  • Just over the last few days. We're right on track with each other.
  • Im still not that uncomfortable except for restless legs uggg those are horrible.  Oh and getting up from the floor after playing with my son sucks.

  • I was a little uncomfortable back at 30/31 weeks, but all of a sudden this week I've definately hit the miserable mark.  I think it's worse though because I have a chest cold in addition to all the pg stuff-but this week is definately been the week that I can say I am really really uncomfortable.  It was all bearable before this-now I just can't get comfortable with anything I do!

  • I didn't start to get  uncomfortable until the baby dropped which was around 36.5 weeks. Now, whenever I sit, my belly rests on my upper thighs and I can no longer sit with my legs even remotely closed.  Now, at 39 weeks I'm ready for this baby to be here.

    I no longer get even a decent nights sleep because it is too damn hard to get in and out of bed (requires major flopping and scootching) and sitting in any one place for too long sucks. 

    Everyday normal activities are becoming harder and harder to do. 

  • I am doing fine so far. Still able to sleep long hours, pretty comfortable, no backpain or other stuff... but I did some grooming yesterday and it started to feel a little challenging. I guess I won't be able to do much (for the lady bits) in a couple of weeks and I might need DH's help or just go blindly and hope for the best.

  • I just started feeling really bad in the last couple of weeks.  Before I could get some relief, but for the most part, I'm pretty miserable all the time now.

  • 35 weeks. That's when my belly really popped out, not used to so much weight on my body. Plus that's when the insomnia kicked in.

    This. Sad

  • I can't really say that I am always uncomfortable.  During the school year I was always fine but by the end of the day I was tired and my legs were so swollen that they started to weigh me down.  Now that I have been on summer vacation for a week I am even more tired but once I nap for an hour I feel fantastic.  The heartburn is starting to increase in frequency but Tums are helping.  The sharp pains in my hips are not helpful but I am willing to walk through them since I figure they are all part of the process.  I have been having some restless leg problems and have been having a tough time getting comfy in bed but I have learned that my reclining sofa does a fantastic job of helping me get to sleep.

  • I'm still doing alright. I don't swell, have heartburn, I still sleep pretty well.  It is just hard to put on my shoes : )

  • Around 28 weeks. Leg cramps, charlie horses and rib pain due to LO pushing on my ribs. Other than that, I haven't felt too bad. Each week I notice that the pain in my upper ribs gets worse, cause LO is running out of space.

  • It comes and goes, suddenly my body grows and I'll have a week of awful, then the next week I feel totally fine. Your body will adjust! I think 38+ weeks is when it sucks the most.?
  • I'm definitely uncomfortable now! It also started in the last week or so :-(

  • I was uncomfortable around 30 weeks, but once the baby dropped at 35ish weeks it has been so much more uncomfortable.
  • I'm still doing fine.  Naturally it's harder to do things, but as for being officially uncomfortable, I'm not there yet.

  • I started feeling consistently uncomfortable in the middle of my 37th week. So just a few days ago. I definitely think it has something to do with the oppressive heat and humidity, though.

  • Hitting the 3rd trimester is when it really kicked in.

    Just 6 weeks to go though (hopefully)...

    "I think I can...I think I can...choo choo." lol

  • overall, i'm still feeling pretty darn good (knock on wood). getting some random aches/pains, but for the most part i can't complain.
  • I would say really in the last week or so.
  • 33 or 34 weeks...now at 36 its getting silly...especially with a job that requires me to be on my feet and excessive amount along with do very physical tasks...
  • over the last 2 weeks i've noticed that i'm becoming more and more uncomfortable. i can't sleep at night, if i lay on my back the baby lays on my bladder and if i lay on my side it's too much pressure on my belly. i also have trouble reaching and grabbing things in fromt of me. i keep getting restless...i've had such a great pregnancy....never thought i would pray for the contractions to start!! lol!!!!

  • In the past week or so is when it really got bad. I tear up on my drive home from work because my back hurts so bad.
