Throughout this entire pregnancy I've been pretty lucky. I was terribly sick for the first 16 weeks, but other than that baby and I have been healthy with no GD, no HBP, and no real health concerns. I am even still working 50 hours a week without my feet or legs swelling. THIS WEEK I am exhausted, my back has a permanent pinched nerve feeling, I messed up one of my knees, there's oh so much pressure, and I feel like I am going to pop. Everyone kept asking how I was doing so much as far along as I am and I didn't realize why they thought it was so odd until today. If everyone else has been feeling like this for a few weeks, I don't know how you've done it...We're almost there ladies!
Re: Oh 36 weeks....
Welcome to the "oh God, is it time yet" club.
Baby maybe shifted positions, Your body started releasing more relaxin... Get off your feet, get out of work and wait it out.
Yup, after feeling great for the first 8+ months, I hit the 'pregnancy wall' at 35 weeks when my body suddenly decided to *really* let me know that Im pregnant.
Thanks goodness for the home stretch, indeed!

Aw, I'm sorry
I've definitely started slowing down a bit due to aches and pains, but I expect it to get much worse!

I'm right there with you. . .I've been working on a crazy project this entire pregnancy, which frequently involves 10 hour days or at least 8 straight hours of meetings without any scheduled breaks (I just leave when I need to). It's destroyed my back and I am so run into the ground by the end of the day. It hit me a few weeks ago and I was just counting down the days to this week (which I have off). I have to go back up until I have my baby. Adding insult to injury my dr told me I'll probably go past my due date. But, we can do it!
