So i really thought that the 3rd trimester was going to be far worse than the 2nd trimester. But it actually hasn't been that bad. I am still sore and achy (and maybe i have just gotten use to that) and I am definately moving slower. But I can still do everything I use to do yard work, cleaning, lifting things etc (just maybe not as much of it). The only thing i do have is a little bit of swelling in the feet at the end of the day if it has been hot out.
I was just wondering when everyone started to feel wiped out in the third trimester? Is it just the last month when swelling and everything takes over? Or is it possible that I will stay like this till the end?
Re: when did 3rd trimester wipe you out?
I felt great up until Tuesday of this week when I started having horrid back pain, plus it got into the 80's here so I'm just a hot, uncomfortable mess.

Exactly. I'll be 32 weeks on Sunday, too & by the end of the workday all I want to do is nap. Weekends are a little better though.

First pregnancy? Not really ever. I was uncomfortable, but never felt "limited" in my daily life.
Now? I can't walk up the stairs without being winded and needing to rest and a short walk around the block sends me into a fit of braxton hicks for an hour. And I already feel that bowling ball sensation in my pelvis.
It sucks. 3rd tri hit me WAY too early this time, like at 26 weeks!

This. And it goes in spurts, I had 4 or 5 really bad days but now the past coupld of days I've felt really good and had some energy return. Weird.
I must be old.
Because this week, I've been trying to get the spring cleanup in the garden done and what I used to be able to do in a day, I've had to spread out over a few days. It's very frustrating. I have things to do!!! I don't have time for this "tiring easily" nonsense.
sigh.
I am 33wks2d.
this last week has really hit me. I feel like I need help to get up from the couch, out of the car, etc. I CRASH at 9 and dread getting out of bed at 7AM. I have no energy at all to do any housework or even cook dinner. My family is going to revolt if I do not get it together!
