So, is anyone still "comfortable" on a daily basis?

The_Jen626 · September 2012

With my DD, I kept expecting for the last month or so to be SO HARD physically, and it honestly, wasn't hard at all. My EDD came and went and I felt just fine, didn't have trouble walking or sleeping, still wore heels and hung out with friends, etc. I carried until 41w3d and didn't ever get to the point where I would say I was "uncomfortable".

This time...yeah I hit a wall around 36 weeks and wouldn't have been unhappy at all if I happened to go into labor early...ha! It's so much harder this time around. I just feel huge and disgusting and it's hard for me to even get out of bed on my own. Getting in the car, driving to the ATM, pulling cash out, then driving home, is enough to completely exhaust me.

Nope, no longer comfortable, and haven't been for at least two weeks...I'm extremely petite (4'6''), and baby ran out of room like three weeks ago, so every movement she makes I can feel in my ribs as well as on my cervix...not comfy, lol!

I keep telling myself just a few more weeks and I'll get to meet my LO.

I am not comfortable, but most days I am manageable. It's either a really emotional day, or a really physically uncomfortable one.

Talk to me in 3 weeks and I may be ready to reach up and pull her out my self.

For the most part I am comfortable during the day, once 7-8 o'clock hits, I am ready for the couch or the bed.

I think it also helps that I have been on maternity leave for the past 2 weeks, so I can't really complain about being uncomfortable since I can take a walk, lay down or pretty much do as I please during the day when everyone else is at work

It depends on the day. If I've mostly taken it easy, then I tend to be ok. If I've had a busy couple of days, I turn into a whiney, uncomfortable mess.

goldengirl84 · September 2012

I'm pretty comfortable most of the day. BH get annoying in the evenings but I feel about the same as I did a couple months ago. I'm so ready to meet him but I won't complain because I know a lot of ladies have it much worse!

rakle99 · September 2012

Overall I'm pretty comfortable. There are days that I'm miserable but those are few and far between. Lying down to sleep, however, is another story...

irish city girl · September 2012

Nope, not comfortable. Haven't been comfortable for a while. I remember getting to the point where I wasn't comfortable when I was PG with DS1, but it wasn't like this. Or maybe it was and I didn't realize how inept I was because I didn't have another child to take care of. I'm really hoping this LO comes as close to 39 weeks as possible and doesn't follow in his older brother's footsteps (DS1 was 6 days late).

SUPER UNCOMFY EVERYDAY!!!

I am so over this pregnancy... it hurts to sit or stand and if i lay on my side i get horrible heartburn... sleep is a thing of the past and I know everyone says that you get less sleep after you have the baby but I think I will get much better sleep after when I can at least get comfortable enought to actually fall asleep!

11 days till my due date and I really don't want to get induced because i'm scared of the painful contractions but I'm doing everything else that I can to get this baby out!!!!!!!

AJKayakMomma · September 2012

For the most part I don't feel too bad. I have more energy than I did in the first tri, but my body is starting to hurt more. I just keep telling myself 21 more days and actually only 14 working day left. I LOVE days off...

Sillygirl85 · September 2012

I am still comfortable. I don't feel like I have much to complain about. My biggest problem is that I have started paying extra attention to every little twinge wondering if it's the beginning of something. I think my biggest danger is that I am going to drive myself insane looking for signs of labor. That's why I am on the bump trying to distract myself. Stick out tongue

elfchique · September 2012

Please don't kill me, but I am.

I am fairly tall and have a very long torso so I really don't get very uncomfortable. I do get tired, and it's hard to get up, and sitting for any length of time (ahem- three hours of church today) was a little wretched. But I really feel pretty good. After a busy day where I don't get much time to lay down, my vagina hurts and my pubic bone can hurt but nothing that can't be fixed by just laying down for a bit. I have a really easy going kid, and a very helpful husband so that is pretty significant as well. I'm sleeping well and only in the last month have I needed to wake to pee. I get up around three, pee, and go back to sleep.

I should DD this. There's no reason for me to be insufferable.

And you're pregnant with twins! That's awesome for you!!

Also, I have a really short torso so I'm thinking that contributes to my uncomfortable-ness...there's just nowehere for her to go!

Good for you! I hope you stay comfortable up until the very end!

Wally3 · September 2012

Not too bad extremely tired. I do get winded if I do too much. I just got off bad rest so trying not to over do it and I haven't done much for 5 wks.

hilsy85 · September 2012

I"m pretty okay...at night I start feeling somewhat claustrophobic, with the baby pushing up against my lungs, and BHs are definitely uncomfortable. But for the most part, I'm pretty good! Still working out, still going about my day as normal.

LBoogeyBride · September 2012

I notice that I'm okay during the day, but by evening, I'm uncomfortable. The kicking, shortness of breath, lightning crotch, and sweating all seem to start up later in the day, so I've been trying to be most productive in the mornings so that I can relax a bit more at night.

All that being said, I have no right to complain because I'm on maternity leave Stick out tongue

nikinikinine · September 2012

I'm quite comfortable. Anterior placenta = I sleep soundly on my stomach (propped slightly with a pillow). It is heaven, as I sleep like shiitake on my sides/back. And my last pregnancy was twins, so this last few weeks is an absolute joke with a singleton in comparison

It's all about perspective.

milkandhoney77 · September 2012

I'm pretty comfortable. I went on a bachelorette weekend this weekend and had a great time. I was even able to stay up pretty late with the ladies. No braxton hicks or anything and I'm sleeping well.

badkitty2012 · September 2012

OK, so I HATE any of you who are still comfortable on a daily basis (said with a bit of appreciation and a lot of jealousy) I think I am dealing with the double whammy of having a short torso, 5'1", and a 2yo. It used to just be rough on days DH worked, especially if he got extra hours. Now it feels that way even on the days he is off and really takes over a lot of the physical stuff I do during the day around the house. He is so sweet that he has willingly moved to the couch so that I can get a bit better sleep at night. Almost makes up for his being a PITA at other times.

PixelPosy · September 2012

I'm still comfortable. I get a lot of comments along the lines of you poor thing, go home and rest, etc. So I must not look comfortable lol.

Really I can't complain though. Other than swelling in my hands that makes them ache,and my flats not fitting on my swollen feet, I'm feeling pretty good. Hope I can get away with sandals and layering cardigans over my tops as the weather cools down. Really don't want to buy a maternity jacket or wider closed shoes.

Court7803 · September 2012

I'm comfortable for the most part. I have a slipped disc in my back that bothers me, but that was part of my pre prego life to, so I'm used to that. Alteast before I was able to take a pain killer when it bothered me. Tylonel reay doesn't do anything for it, so I don't even bother to try and take it.

Eveanyn · September 2012

I'm on the petite side like mrs norry 5'2" and my LO also ran out of room a few weeks ago. I've been uncomfortable ever since.

mrsmklynch · September 2012

My doctor told me to expect to be less and less comfortable with each pregnancy. I guess by the time you get to the third, you're so stretched out that everything is just sort of hanging with no support and it puts a lot of strain on your back and pressure on your pelvis. I've been uncomfortable since probably 32 weeks.

rhodesign · September 2012

I'm doing pretty okay. After sitting for too long I do get a little 'creaky' in the joints and have to waddle a little (or if I really have to pee) but after moving for a little bit I'm much better. I did my dance class 2 weeks ago and will start a yoga DVD this week. I do get a little tired in the afternoon, but I have hypersomnia and am tired often anyway so that's not really new.

Cynthia1207 · September 2012

I'm pretty comfortable physically speaking but I'm not comfortable in my own skin. My only physical complaint is that my finger joints hurt like hell in the morning to the point that my middle finger pops. I know it's due to the swelling so there's really not much I can do about it.

I can still walk and sleep comfortably but getting in and out of the car or the bed, putting on socks or shoes has become exhausting!

Mentally speaking, I just want my old body back. I want to bend and wear my nice clothes and my 5 inch heels again.

Isn't it horrible?! And I curse every single person who keeps saying I'll "go early" or "go before my due date" because she has no more room...I've not read that or heard that from any doctor and I really don't want to get stuck in that mindset that she'll be here by her due date because I could end up extremely frustrated come 41 weeks if she isn't here!
