REALLY!?!?!!? Because last I counted I have about ten weeks left out of you know FORTY!!!! UGH both my mom and MIL have said this to me at least 5 times in the last week as various response to things. They continue to talk about how much bigger, more uncomfortable and just all over pregnant I still have to get. I realize I basically just started 3rd tri and yea the worst is yet to come. However I have come pretty darn far and I am a whiny pregnant sap who would like some damn recognition for that. I thought it was bad in 1st tri when that?s all I heard but now with only 10 weeks left it makes me want to throat punch someone.
Whew I feel better.
So, STM?s please tell me is the last 10 weeks REALLY that much worse, as in the last 10 is noting compared to the first 30???

I've been a good sport about not complaining because I wanted this but when I'm asked how I'm feeling I say good, not sleeping well but over all I'm good and I get "Mother nature is just preparing you for all the sleepless nights to come" and "It only gets worse from here" it annoys the crap out of me!
- I've promised myself that the next time I know someone who is pregnant to only give positive comments when I ask THEM how they are doing!

I am a FTM as well and hear things like this constantly. Throughout my entire pregnancy my MIL has been pulling out "Just wait when..." type sayings every time I see her. When I talked to her around week 28 she told me since I had an IMO "easy" pregnancy so far that these next few weeks would be terrible. Thanks!
Not to mention MIL scaring the living sh*t out of DH by explaining how moody / b**chy / terrible I would become the night we announced our pregnancy.
Haha sorry for the rant!

Totally agree with all of this (this is also my third pregnancy). The last few weeks ARE the toughest, in my opinion but NO ONE needs to be such a Debbie Downer about it. It makes me crazy. I hope I remember this 10-15 years down the road when I'm no longer having babies and I come across a pregnant lady in her third trimester. I hope I just tell her, "hang in there, mama, you're almost done!" instead of telling her, "oh girl, it's going to get sooooo much worse." or reminding her how "awful" it is to have a newborn. Gosh. I hate that. Ugh.
