Misery loves company- vent

In the last week or two, I went from comfortable to extremely uncomfortable. I can't sleep, back aches and when I do wake up my whole body is in pain. And the vivid dreams are getting really strange and almost disturbing. I have carpal tunnel in my wrists so even typing this is painful. I have heartburn so bad now that I throw up. It's miserable. And to think I have a month to go, and I know DS will be worth it, but it's getting harder to keep focused on the prize at the end. The first time around wasn't nearly this bad.
So ladies, let's hear it. What are your complaints? Maybe that will make mine not seem so bad.

Pretty much the same as yours! My shoes don't fit, my CTS (which was always a pain in the a$$) leaves my hand numb most of the time, even when I'm eating or working. The pressure in my hips makes it so hard to walk so I've taken on the full pregnancy waddle.
The worst part is feeling like I can't do anything. I feel like my baby is holding me hostage in my own body!
It feels like a knife goes from stabbing me in the ribs to stabbing me behind my shoulder blade.
And I second the heartburn thing... THANKFULLY it eased up this week, but last week was brutal.
I can totally empathize with this! I actually cried this morning because I couldn't find shoes that fit and since I am still working I have to wear something somewhat decent. I finally found a crappy pair that I wore when I was pregnant with DD but they are really uncomforatble like my feet were differently shaped then or something.
I am crying right now trying to put my boots on! I'm working still too, and I'm on my feet a lot so it's really discouraging when they don't fit at the START of the day. I know what it's going to be like in 8-10 hours... ugh.
Just the past two days have been my breaking point. I love being pregnant. I have never met anyone that enjoys it more than I do. My first pregnancy was a breeze. no issues, no aches and pains, it was wonderful.
But the past two days, ohh man. I think I have finally reached the point where I am "over" being pregnant. My back hurts. My hips creak and grind when I walk, and my legs feel like they are coming out of their sockets. ((Which they probably are since I have bad hips to begin with.) Last night I could not sleep AT ALL and the night before was really crappy sleep. My heartburn normally is OK to deal with, but whenever I'm in the car it's unbearable, I have pulled over to vomit a few times in the past 2 weeks. I don't know if it's the position I sit in when I'm driving or just the movement but I can't deal with it anymore. ((I started getting car-sick after DD was born, so I'm thinking it's a motion thing))
I still love feeling LO move, and am still in awe with the thought of creating my little baby from my own body... it's just amazing. But I'm over it.
I have a chiropractor appt tomorrow that I am counting down the hours for and I'm really hoping it helps with my back and hips so I can get some sleep and feel happy again!
We went to the gym yesterday and I was walking on the treadmill and my stomach kept bumping into the front of the treadmill - wtf? FIL pointed out last week that I wasn't doing the pregnant waddle yet when they came over for dinner. So nice of him. But it's getting tougher to lean over into the washing machine to get stuff and pick up stuff off the floor.
My hip pain when sleeping has gotten worse. I will get one really good night of sleep about every 3-4 nights now. I get irritable/cranky when I don't get my sleep so poor DH when LO arrives.
I find when I lay down to sleep - I start burping and it lasts all night long. And even tho I brush my teeth and use mouth wash it still tastes like dinner/dessert. This happens whether or not I drink something carbonated during the day. It's even worse if I eat too much - I feel like i'm on the border of puking. Not sure where this extra gas is coming from all at once.
If I don't get my water intake - I will get BH contractions. Like when I sat on the couch most of the day yesterday and decided to empty the dishwasher I was getting contractions. Silly body.
This is the perfect day for this thread for me!!!
As of today, I can't wear even my wedding band anymore so that's pretty depressing. I've been really lucky about having regular bowel movements, but out of no where i have the worst hemorrhoids. I know its normal, but its so embarrassing and I have that GBS swab next week
TMI I know, but who else can I vent to about these kinds of things??
Also these BH's are ramping up so that's pretty great.
Hope you ladies are feeling better than I do today!
I'm with you on the heartburn, nothing seems to help it and it makes me feel so sick. Hip pain, preterm contractions that never seem to go away, oh and a giant fibroid sitting right on top of my uterus that hurts like someone stabbing me with a burning knife whenever I'm up too much. And I cry. Like all the time.
It's just so magical.
Always Sunny's back b-tches!
We can't wait to meet our Blake Katherine!!
