Now uncomfortable most of the time

mrbear83 · March 2011

Ugh. I feel like it's too early to feel like this. Back hurts whenever I sit down, sleeping brings heartburn and hip pain, walking makes me tired...

Anyone else feeling like a gestational elephant?

alyson686 · March 2011

Yep, and I thought it was too early too! I'll have a good day here and there where I have more energy and feel a little more like myself, but those are getting fewer and fewer...

This is me, all the time. I am hoping sleeping in a Lazyboy is going to help. I am going to try tonight.

I feel like this, too. In fact everytime someone ask me how I feel, I just look at them and say, you want the truth or the polite answer?

This sounds like me, but I've been feeling this way for a month now!

I sleep sitting up when Zantac won't cut the heartburn -- I got one of those backrest pillows (The kind that's a big square with arm rests) and prop two pillows up on that. Then I sleep sitting up. I actually get a good amount of sleep in before the first pee-break of the night when I sleep like that.

I feel like this too, I am uncomfortable sitting and being at work is torture. I hate being a complaining pregnant lady but I am tired and cranky from not getting decent sleep due to getting up 3 times a night to pee. Walking hurts because his head in already really low and the pressure is making me waddle. My back hurts and since I have scoliosis it's uncomfortable to do anything but lie down. I'm getting weird sweats and hot flashes and the swelling hurts. I also thought I would not feel like this until week 36 or 37, now I'm just dreading how much more painful and uncomfortable I will get...Thank you for letting me vent, I needed that. I try not to complain to anyone IRL and just smile and say " I feel great" when people ask.

Ooohhhh boy do I know how you feel!! I had the bright idea to take my girls to the zoo yesterday since i was having such a great morning, boy that back fired on me quickly!!

I feel so bad for my DH!! I have noticed that Im so miserable that I despise anyone who can just jump up off the couch or move w/o pain!! I have become this royal B!tch to everyone due to lack of sleep & simply being miserable all the time!! Hopefully these last 6-7 weeks go quickly so I can stop torturing my family with the evil looks & snarky comments when they ask what wrong!!

Me too. I hate it, its getting to the point when everytime she moves she causes pain in my pelvis

Shes so low and theres so much pressure its getting to be really uncomfortable. I love to feel her move to know shes ok but it sucks.

I'd been doing so well, but as of just a couple days ago I'm getting regularly kicked in the ribs and any time I walk it feels like my hips are trying to dislocate. Yay.

I feel like this too... and I thought I was just being a wimp because I thought it was way to early to be feeling this way.

I just feel huge. I noticed my face and arms are a lot more pudgier this week. I'm not just gaining in my belly any more and I don't eat a lot of junk (ice cream here and there, but lots of fruit and veggies).

My back hurts when I sit too long. My feet swell when I stand or walk too much. Going up stairs makes me feel winded. I wake up several times a night to "roll over" because I'm too uncomfortable.

I know there are still a lot of weeks left and it's going to get worse, so I don't want to start complaining yet. I just thought I'd be farther along before I started feeling like this.

I think the worst is the pains I get at night (hips and knees). I hate sleeping in one position but I'm too big and out of breath to move often. At least the end is in sight!!!

melaniep1005 · March 2011

Ugh! Me too. Sleeping at night is pretty rough. And now the baby is growing so much it feels as though he/she is running out of room in there. 10 more weeks for me....

McAllie5 · March 2011

Ugh. Heartburn, headaches, leg soreness/stiffness, and backaches so bad that sometimes I need DH's help to roll over in bed or my back gets stuck. So so ready to have this baby!! (And there's still a ways to go...)
