Hi Ladies.. I just got moved over her by the bump... I will be 28 weeks Saturday and have felt great in my 2nd trimester besides a few days. I have had so much energy and loved being pregnant:) It seems this week though pregnancy has become uncomfortable, I can't sleep, I pee every hour, I can't behind over all the way. It makes me nervous because I know I still have 3 monthes! When did everyone else start to feel uncomfortable?
Re: When did you become uncomfortable?
I feel better now:) I am a full time nanny to three children under 5 and they are a hand full. I just feel this week I am completely different person, I have no energy I have trouble standing up after playing on the floor with all them, or chasing them around the house for 12 hours a day. I even made DH turn on AC last night:)

I?m not TOO terribly uncomfortable now (34 weeks tomorrow)?I hate to complain about it because I?ve had a pretty good and uneventful pregnancy.
This is what I?m dealing with:
I have bad reflux. I feel like I have a pulled muscle in my tummy right beside and above my belly button. My feet are swollen (not bad) and they hurt so bad they feel bruised. I have a headache right now. Nothing looks cute on my any more. I?m burning up most of the time. I?m really pasty white. Sometimes it feels like I have water in my ears. I have a lot of pressure on the lower part of my tummy.
I can honestly say that I?m starting to get pretty anxious about having her, but it?s not SO bad?it could be a lot worse.
At the beginning of third tri when I started gaining some weight and my abs starting getting stretched out. Then I felt better for a while.
Now, this week, I've felt huge and awful. She's dropped and her head is in my pelvis. I can't sleep or get comfortable at all. :-(
I started getting a little uncomfortable at the beginning of this week and yesterday It was really bad but I feel better today - I think from this point out it's going to be a day to day adjustment. 7 weeks to go for me!!
Around 34 weeks but yesterday was the day that I said to my husband I'm done being pregnant. Seriously. I can't sleep properly, my left arm is always going numb for some reason, my sciatic nerve is bugging he hell out of me so I can't feel my buttcheek, I get weird tingling on top of my belly and I'm just all around uncomfortable. Oh yeah and it's really hard to breath laying down. I'm so over being pregnant it's not even funny...and I still have 5 weeks to go. Hold me.
Honestly I am still not uncomfortable.
I am still working full time. I am still working out 5 days a week. Sleeping is no problem (except one trip in the middle of the night to pee). I am still doing everything almost completely normal.
I have been extra tired this week, and my feet ached when I got home yesterday though.
Of course the more women you talk to- you get very different answers. Every woman and every pregnancy is different. I just hit the 28th week mark myself. The first trimester was all about the morning sickness. The over into the second half of the second trimester I started feeling tired much quicker and more often. All of my bloodwork (glucose tolerance test, thyroid, blood count, iron level, etc.) was all normal just recently. My OB told me that the fatigue was normal- that I am making another person. Physically I am just getting where I feel uncomfortable. Have to sleep on my side. Trouble getting up and down sometimes. I can tell I'm starting to have a little more shortness of breath. Stuff like that. I think as long as the OB says the baby is doing well- that is your main concern. Make sure you are getting enough water and avoid constipation- that can make you feel miserable. Good luck to you and God Bless You and Your Baby!!!
