PR: When did you reach the uncomfortable stage?
I know this can be totally different from person to person, but at what point did you start to feel really uncomfortable? And what was it that was making you so uncomfortable?
And if you say you felt fine throughout your whole pregnancy, don't bother responding. 
I kid, I kid...

Re: PR: When did you reach the uncomfortable stage?
Grrr, damn Bump ate my ENTIRE message!! Ok, second try.
It was right about this time that I felt comfortable. It was harder to get in and out of bed, up and out of chairs, sleeping/rolling over in bed and walking around/up and down stairs. I felt like my pelvis was being ripped apart from the inside and I could never find a comfortable position to sit or sleep. I also saw your post on stretch marks hurting...mine did, too so I just did the same as you (lotion and cool cloths). If you can a swimming pool will help...I just always got so swollen that I had to try to lay down and keep my feet up as much as possible.
I know probably not what you wanted to hear, huh?

With Emmy it was during the last few weeks. My pelvic floor ached. I swore she would just fall out while I was standing around.
Ethan...it was come and go, I didn't really feel as uncomfortable with him.
At 34 weeks I started really slowing down, I just couldn't keep up anymore. Then at 36 weeks we had the version and he droped. OMFG I couldn't walk more than a block without stoping to take a breath and my hips hurt. I only spent one day pg with him that low but one day was enough.
Right around 30 weeks. DD was sitting high, and it was difficult to breathe. I just got big all of a sudden, getting out of bed was difficult let alone functioning at work or around friends.
PG #1 I felt pretty good until the last couple of weeks then was just too big and wasn't sleeping, having a lot of heartburn, etc. PG#2 I was uncomfortable much earlier - it's hard to chase a toddler around with a huge belly and difficult to put his shoes on, rock him for sleep, etc.
I didn't.
But looking back at my blog, the Monday before he was born (so 28 wks exactly) I made the comment that he was starting to annoy my bladder... I never got to the really painful kicks stage...
I think I may be at the very beginning of the "uncomfortable stage." The sciatic nerve I've dealt with for months. But as of the last couple of weeks I can really feel the weight I've packed on...it's harder to get off the couch, out of the car and most frustrating is turning over in bed. And now with the itchy, burning stretching skin I can't seem to get comfortable at all - at work or at home. And I'm sure it's only going to get worse....
I try really hard not to complain, but I admit I had a minor breakdown about it last night, which is what prompted the poll.
Around the 35-36 week mark.
He was stuck in my ribs and actually sprained it according to the ER DR, sleep was horrible, I gained a ton of weight due to swelling and got pneumonia, I was miserable and I think he was too, since he came early
I don't know if you actually want my response, but here goes...
I had an awesome pregnancy. I worked (my a$$ off) until I was 35.5 weeks at a fast-paced restaurant. I think being so physically active helped me a lot. I never felt too huge. Then again, I had O at 37w4d. So I didn't ever hit that super-pregnant phase that a lot of my friends back East did.
