I think I've hit the proverbial wall.

For the past few weeks everyone's been asking me how I'm feeling. And up until a few days ago I was honestly feeling great.
The past 2-3 days ... omg. I just feel so done. I don't remember feeling like this with DD until the last week, and I still have three weeks(ish) to go. eek!
I feel like I don't know what to do with myself. Who's with me?

Re: I think I've hit the proverbial wall.
Up until a week ago, I was walking around telling everyone I was feeling like a million bucks. I was running around with DD, cooking, cleaning, going to play groups, etc. etc. I was amazed at myself, I definitely did not feel like I was 7-8 months pregnant.
Then I hit 35 weeks, and it was like a switch flipped. I'm sore, tired, and achy. Worst of all, my energy level is at zero, so I'm like a useless lump on the couch while DD watches a gazillion hours of TV. It sucks!!!!
I feel like I'm there but I still have 6-ish weeks to go! I don't remember feeling like this until I was overdue with DD. I am so sore (hips, vag, you name it), turning over at night is such a chore and hurts like hell. If the placenta isn't an issue, I have a feeling I'll be overdue again. And that's ok with me bc I'd rather that than early, but good lord it's getting hard to just waddle to the bathroom anymore.
I did get this random burst of energy last night while DH was giving M a bath and scrubbed my kitchen, but I paid dearly for it afterwards. Everything just hurts
Yo. With DS, I carried quite high. He was always in my ribs and pressing on my lungs, which sucked, but I felt pretty good, even towards the end. This time...I'm done. I'm carrying lower and I have constant back, hip and pelvic pain. Her head isn't even engaged yet and I feel like she is going to just fall out.
I'm waddling really badly and almost limping from the pressure and pain. I still have almost 4 weeks until my due date, not to mention if I go over
Boo.

IT'S A BOY
I feel the same way. I am tired, I am uncomfortable, my sciatica is acting up like crazy, I am moody, I am hungry but can't eat, and there are weird pains and aches in my stomach and in my lower area.
I am still working full time (I plan to do so as long as I can) which isn't physically hard but mentally exhausting and stressful, trying to get ready for this baby, trying to mentally get ready for this labor, worrying about how my dogs will handle it, and worrying about if the stress of a new baby will make me and my dh fight.
It's only 10am and I am already exhausted.
Sing it sister!
I'm due in 3 weeks too, June 2, and so ready for this to be over. Work has become brutal, people will not stop bugging me about my due date and I want to punch them in the face. Seriously. I am really tired of being the elephant in the room. I feel like I'm about to go through something intensely personal and yet I have no privacy. I just want to be left alone to get through the rest of this!
I second the clothes part. Dresses now look like tents on me too, and I've reached the point that I no longer give a crap.

I am so there and have been since the end of last week. I feel like I will be pregnant forever, the only thing I look forward to is food and sleep and neither one of those things are satisfying anymore because it's too crowded in there for me to eat as much as I want and sleeping is just a battle in general. I can not find a comfortable sitting/sleeping position no matter what I do, and I can't stand or walk for long periods of time. Yesterday, I couldn't even get through a church service without feeling miserable. I don't have energy very often, but when I do, I can only seem to get one 30 minute task completed before I need to sit down again. None of my maternity clothes fit right, I feel fat and gross, my husband and I haven't had sex in like who-knows-when. EVERYTHING is difficult to accomplish. Christ, I can't even read a book or watch T.V. because I can't sit comfortably long enough. I bore the hell out of everyone around me because I all I can talk about is childbirth and pregnancy.
Okay, thanks for giving me the opportunity to whine...
Yep, I was the same, feeling really fantastic and doing yardwork and projects around the house like a champ until last week (34 wks) when it all just ground to a halt. I'm feeling better today, but constantly reminded myself over the weekend to take it easy. Have to say that walking/exercise helps a ton even though it can be a chore when I'm tired and self-conscious about waddling around. I sleep so much better on a day when I've worked out.
I just wanna lay here and watch tv and sleep.
Good advice. I agree that the days I am active, I tend to sleep better at night. It is just getting motivated a little bit each day to walk or do yoga or move in general. Thank you for the reminder today
