25 Weeks - How did you feel?

MissMandyD · June 2013

I have a major work event that requires two back to back 20 hour days on my feet at the beginning of my 25th week. I already got my "rules" from my doctor on what I can and can't do during the event but I really curious how I will be feeling.

How were you feeling at the 25 week mark?

I am curious about this too!

My best friend's wedding is at my 22nd week, I'm curious if I will be able to fly to it. I just met a woman who is 22 weeks and looked amazing with just a reasonable little bump. My cousin sent a pic of herself at 22 weeks (she is due in September) and she looked like she was full term with singleton.

Frankly I can't stand for more than 10 minutes lately, I can't even imagine in a few months :S

I felt okay at 25 weeks. I stopped traveling at 20 weeks -- just because I wanted to be extra cautious. I'm one of those textbook cautionary tales -- I started having non-stop BH contractions at 22w, was put on modified BR at 26 weeks, and pPROMed at 28.5 weeks. No explanation for any of it -- it just happened. I'm glad I stayed put -- and didn't have anything going on while OOT.

One of my closest friends got married just after I hit 20 weeks, and while I was SUPER bummed to miss it, DH went -- and it was the absolute right decision. I literally was in the hospital every single week from 22 weeks on for contractions or one thing or the other.

Other than all the fun complications, I actually physically felt pretty good. A little uncomfortable, and had trouble finding good sleeping positions (by 28 weeks I was sleeping nearly completely upright), but other than that, it wasn't an issue.

At 25w I was measuring 35w and getting very uncomfortable. I was in a wedding at 28w which was horrible I sat every chance I could or the belly got rock hard, Braxton hicks. Put on modified bed rest 29, delivered 36.

I'm 5'6 about 125 lbs.

Wedding at 22 should be fine.

Thanks for the information!

At 25 wks I was still working 3 12hr shifts on my feet a week. I was able to do this until 32 wks. I would suggest getting Ted hoses/compression stockings and sit when you can.

Thanks! I am thankfully not IN the wedding, so that should help tremendously. The issue being the flights, but I will get direct flights and will be sitting the whole time so I can't imagine that would be too stressful. I'm a frequent flier so maybe I will get upgraded

I can't believe you were IN one @ 25 weeks, go momma!

OP, could they give you a padded stool or something to sit on?

I'm nearly 21weeks and I started out at 67kg and have to date put on 13kg so I now weigh 80kg : I find after doing the grocery shopping which took me yesterday an hour an a half I feel buggered and my back is aching.. I'm quite big for 21weeks but I am short too about 5ft2in I hope this helps.. Just as everyone has said relax and sit whenever you can! I'm flying to a family holiday in a few weeks and I'm not too worried as I know I'll be pampered when I get there and it's a flight and a 4hr car trip but it should be fine..

I flew/traveled for work at 24wks and felt fine. It was exhausting though. I was already moving pretty slow by that point so walking around was hard. At the end of each day I basically collapsed in bed, ordered delivery for dinner, and slept.
