30-31 weekers...how are you feeling? (2nd timers especially)

meljp430 · February 2012

I am 30 weeks with my 2nd and although I don't remember any of the details of my first time, I am fairly certain that at this point last time I was not as uncomfortable. Just checking on your pains and symptoms. Here are mine:

Soooo tired!

Braxton Hicks

Peeing almost every 15 minutes...or could if there was a bathroom available!

Starting to waddle and walking distances makes my lower stomach and legs so sore for at least a day

Shortness of breath

Just overall feeling much slower

Also a 3rd timer, coming in on 29 weeks. This pregnancy has been full of more aches and pains than before. I carry all belly and seem to carry bigger each time, so I get sore and tired a lot quicker. Like you said, just feeling slower all over.

2nd timer

I'm feeling pretty good actually, only having a few BH's a day.

I have DREADFUL heartburn that makes me throw up sometimes.

My low back has been tight but we are renovating our new house so it could be me doing that stuff

more sore this time around! I also have stopped being able to find a comfortable position to sleep in.

Last time I had two in there - so I guess it isn't actually worse, but running after them and being this far along is wearing me out ;op

I'm 33 weeks with my 2nd so I'm a bit ahead, but I've been feeling miserable the last few weeks! With my first one, I don't remember feeling so uncomfortable until just a couple weeks before delivery. Baby is sitting so low and I have pain in my "lady parts" whenever I'm up and walking around. I have to pee ALL THE TIME and I'm leaking pee constantly I never had that at all before. Today I felt dizzy and nauseous most of the day and spent most of it in bed....very challenging with a 3 year old at home, luckily dh took him for most of the afternoon....

I can't tell if I'm having BH or just baby movements/pushing/stretching...my stomach will get really hard once in awhile then go away....not period like cramps but more the front of my belly.

Some days I don't know how I'm going to last 6 more weeks! (scheduled c-section)

I am peeing way for often than I used to. That makes work tough (I am a teacher and can't leave the kids in the room). My lower back hurts (this critter is all up front) and my legs are starting to swell. I was WAY more swollen with DD but it isn't like I can come home and kick up my feet anymore.

I have Restless Leg Syndrome this time. DH said he remembers I had it with DD but I guess I forgot.

Shortness of breath and my heart races when I walk up and down the stairs.

Down there is super sore and swollen. It makes walking kind of a joke.

My c/s is in almost 6 weeks. Yikes!

2nd time mama here, I'm huge and uncomfortable. So many Braxton hicks, back pain, heartburn, pelvic pressure, I could go on and on but I'm trying not to be miserable about it! LOL

Im only a first timer, but this is a pretty good summary of how I'm feeling. Also some nausea coming back. Definitely not enjoyable.

mieuxmieux · February 2012

I am definitely more uncomfortable this time around. I don't remember feeling like this last time. No BH, but the pressure down there is crazy so baby must be sitting low. Completely exhausted all the time, and yes... the waddle has started.

kiarstin · February 2012

I am a few weeks ahead of you, still have plenty of energy. I am sore in hips in back but I am a server and also walk 3 miles 3-5 X a week before a work. I waddle near the end of a shift, lifting trays, dishes, sweeping and running around makes me feel crummy, but I usually feel fine next day. I have pretty good bladder control still considering I drink upwards of 100oz away of water.

busywifey · February 2012

i am having crazy stiff and achy hips when i wake up.

its sooooooooooo painful.

kris_kelsey · February 2012

I am slowing down and find myself kicking my feet up more often at work. When a coworker asks for help i am normally the first to jump up, but not anymore.

Even though I am measuring a bit small, and smaller than last pregnancy, I feel like my whole belly is stretching quite a bit.

Same amount of BH as last time (1-6 per hour).

I have a lot more pressure in my labia...awesome.

laurack · February 2012

FTM here so no comparison to last time.

I felt horrible at the beginning of the 3rd tri, instantly exhausted, heartburn, and incredible hip pain. I thought,its all downhill from here, but actually for the past week I've been feeling better. The hips are better, sleeping ok (only waking up 1x per night to pee mostly), though the hearburn/acid reflux remains and plagues me.

also my ribs have been hurting quite a bit in the back.

Overall I'm happy with level of comfort at ~32 weeks but I am worrying about the final weeks, and of course, pregnancy number two and how much worse that will be!

CAMbaby · February 2012

I am hurting more this time around... I am more tired, I had morning sickness for a lot longer, lots of aches and pains - I feel like I am at the very end but I still have 2 more months to go.

ABeautifulMind · February 2012

FTM, so nothing to compare to

Sore hips (only at during the middle of the night), restless sleeping b/c of it

Sacrum pain every few days, though this has been happening since week 8, no idea what is causing it, neither chiropractor or yoga have helped.

Sore feet (only at night)

That's it for me, I feel great and have no other complaints.
