How is the 3rd trimester treating everyone?

I'm just starting to notice a difference in how I felt in the second trimester and how I'm feeling now. Basically, I felt like Superwoman during the second trimester and was wishing I would be pregnant forever! And now I'm starting to feel like crap. I could easily sleep 18 hours a day, my back is killing me, BH galore and I feel like someone is sneaking into my room while I sleep and kicking me in the vagina over and over again!
How is everyone else holding up?

Re: How is the 3rd trimester treating everyone?
THIS!!!! just rolling over in bed is HORRID! I feel like I'm hitting a wall...no endurance, 3 hour naps, can't get off the floor or out of DH's car without assistance...all these months I wanted my belly and here it is and I want it gone!
Its been a breeze until about 2 weeks ago. Now it feels like someone has punched my vagina when I wake up, I have to roll off the bed to get up, I have to push or pull myself off the couch, and if I'm on the floor I look like a turtle on its back! Forget getting up without help there! I've got cramps in my butt cheeks (oh yea, thats one nobody ever told me about), my nipples feel like they just got pinched all the time, I'm running to the bathroom every 10 minutes and these darn BH are whooping my butt!
But in the end its worth it to see my little girl healthy and happy
<<<< But it still feels good to let it out!>>>>>
I really, really wish I were this enthusiastic. I'm miserable. Between night sweats, non-stop pelvic pain, heartburn, and the onset of depression because I feel too huge and sick to get anything done...I'm wondering how I'm going to make it. I keep trying to remember that this will end, and we'll finally have our little family, but it's so hard to feel this way when those around you are so excited.
I am actually feeling pretty good. My weight hasn't changed in the last 3 weeks or maybe more and I have a pretty good level of energy. I think the energy change may be due to the iron supplements that I started taking this week.
It is a little difficult to "get around" and I got very upset this morning when I couldn't get my swollen feet into a single pair of my cowboy boots.
I'm so over being pregnant! My back pain has just made me hate it so much! I can't even sit at my dining room table anymore, even with 2 pillows on the chairs
so I how have a TV tray in front of the couch!!
Obviously it'll all be worth it and will hopefully be able to keep LO cooking for another month (will be full term on 11/12), so I'm just hoping the time flies!

I'm tired. I usually have to lie down when I get home from work and being on my feet all day. I can't poop, I always feel full, my wedding rings are getting tighter and tighter, I have insomnia, etc.
But all in all, so thankful to feel this way because it means I'm pregnant!
Well aside for the terrible back pain and really badly clicking pelvic bone, I am usually feeling alright. Been very tired though. Doesn't help that I have been in school since Week 26. 12 hr days of school and driving combined is definitely taking a toll on me. I have had some mild nausea in the morning(usually only weekends) when I sleep in and don't eat before 9:30 am. I could do without feeling out of breathe so easily but that was bound to happen. I still greatly enjoy all of LO's movement, haven't had too many issues with vagina kicks, more tingling bladder punches. Or maybe head butts? I am looking forward to be full blown nesting. Getting enough energy to get my house cleaned up for baby but after this last long weekend(thanksgiving) I have been moving fairly slow.
One week of school. Then I will be starting my mat leave
and baby's due date is just 7 short weeks away !! HOORAY HOORAY...All I want is for a healthy baby to come when he or she is darn well ready. I will suffer all I have to in order to achieve that ! That said. Please be kind to me baby...:):)
I feel much better this time around than I did with DS1..... but I am getting really uncomfortable! It feels like someone took a baseball bat to my crotch. I grunt and groan while getting off the floor or couch or putting my shoes on. I also forgot how awful it feels when I can't get a deep breath. But, I can't compain too much.... this pregnancy has been SOOOOOO much better than the first
I really can't complain too much...in general, I still feel great.
My energy level is decent, but don't ask me to do anything after 8pm. Heartburn (or maybe it's acid reflux...I don't know the difference) comes and goes randomly...but I'm always able to make it go away with just one or two Tums. I can still exercise every morning (30-45 min on the elliptical)...but getting up of the couch leaves me out of breath!
I just figure that every day that goes by that I'm feeling well is one day I won't be incredibly uncomfortable
I usually feel fine throughout the day, but then I get home, sit and relax and BAM every bad pregnancy symptom seems to hit me at once. The leg cramps, the BH, the heartburn, the back ache. Then I get into bed and I cant roll over without cringing in pain because my vagina hurts so bad! It's so weird that it only hurts when I am laying down! I think that because I'm so busy during the day, that I either don't notice the discomforts as much, or I'm so uncomfortable at night because I go so hard all day long.
Feeling like crap at night makes me dread going to work every single day, because I wake up still feeling exhausted. I have no motivation anymore and I feel so lazy! It's terrible! BUT, I just keep reminding myself that I did this to myself and it's ALL COMPLETELY WORTH IT, so I try really hard not to complain to much about it!
