Starting to feel it

in June 2012 Moms

For the past few months, every time someone asked how I was, I'd always say great.  I had no real problems, nothing hurt, I still had energy.  The day I hit 33 weeks, all that screeched to a halt. 

I'm constantly tired, I have absolutely no energy, and I don't feel like doing anything.  My emotions have gotten screwy too - I find myself sad for no good reason pretty frequently.  I've been overeating like mad, and I don't even care anymore.  That's pretty strange for me, because I'm usually really health conscious and paranoid about calorie counting.  I've gained 4 pounds this week with no water retention.  I'm 1 pound from the upper end of the weight gain range the doctor gave me with 7 weeks left to go. 

I'm stuck between just wanting to get this over with and being scared s-less about labor.  Did anyone else just kind of hit this wall?

    I know how you feel. Except I hit my wall like a month ago. I'm just ready to fast forward to the end and have this baby already.

    Yeah, I pretty much feel this way. And, I'm now about three pounds past the recommended weight gain for my bmi. Glad you voiced all this because I feel like everyone I know handled this so much better than I am.

    I'm in your boat too hunny! Seems strange that it just hits all of a sudden. I could easily go back to bed right now....

    It seems like 33 is the magic number! I haven't felt "great" this whole pregnancy. I'm just now getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight because I was so sick this whole time. But through all of it I kept a really positive outlook then 33 weeks hit and I was done. I even cried to my DH as I ate a bottle of tums for desert that I was over all of this and I didn't know how my body could do it anymore.

    I suddenly have headaches, tons of BH that are uncomfortable, I'm always tired, I pee every 10 minutes (I truly am afraid of peeing my pants in my sleep at this point), and EVERYTHING gives me heartburn...even water! 

    whew that felt good to get out. Thanks for posting this :)

    Let's just say the highlight of my day is finding a clean shirt that fits.  If I can accomplish that, I can hopefully get to work on time, hopefully get through the day without too much shame (dignity is absolutely gone at this point) and get home to eat dinner on the couch while grunting when reaching for water only to literally fall in to bed by 10.  I'm in survival mode for the next 8.5 weeks.  I feel like I need to get every pregnant woman I see or hear about a 'you can do it' gift, now that I know what this feels like.

    I'm seriously contemplating being a one-and-done mama-just don't know if I want to do this again!!

    OMG! I got on the scale a few days ago (im 33w 5d) and it was 176 which is already a 25 pound weight gain. and since then i've been exactly what you described. i think its just we're done being pregnant and we're getting ready to be mothers.

    I hear all of ya!  I kinda of hit the wall of no motivation and sadness.  At this point, I'm not sad about gaining weight and feeling tired all the time, I feel sad because as I get closer to my due date, I'm starting to miss my grandma more and more :(  She passed away this past January, as did my husbands grandmother within two weeks of my grandma, and it just sucks not having both of them around.  I really think its hitting me more because I know my shower is coming up soon and they won't be there Sad  They were both so excited and happy when we told them we were pregnant, it just sucks that a few weeks later, both passed away. 

    So I think all of us are starting to feel our emotions more regardless of the circumstances, but I guess we can blame that on our crazy hormones!
