Yea, it doesn't help when the first thing DH says in the morning is "Oh hooooney, you've got a beeellllly" Annnnnnd I say thaaaaanks for calling me FAT! lol I love how quickly he starts trying to "fix it"
Married October 2009. Me 29 H 28. After 1 year of infertility, our little miracle was conceived via our 3rd IUI on May 5, 2013. Holland Sophia was born Jan 24, 2014.
I was actually just talking about this with my girlfriends...if it wasn't for the growing belly and the movement of LO that I feel...I would honestly not believe I was pregnant. I've felt this way throughout my whole pregnancy...really no symptoms to speak of. Of course I'm a FTM And something tells me that I may be in for it the next time around!
Last night while walking the dog I thought to myself as I started getting out of breath that I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep doing this. Also my bending ability is pretty much gone, I'm annoyed with having to wear shoes everyday, my rings are really hard to get off now, rolling over in bed is a huge process now so I wake up each time, and I'm feeling weird spasmy pains in my abdomen. Sorry for the pity party but dang this pregnancy thing is getting harder.

Actually, I don't feel as pregnant as my last pregnancy. I gained so much weight last time that I was feeling like a marshmallow man at 28 weeks. This time I feel really good and limber which makes me very happy
January seems very far away some times. I commented last night to DH that "its official - I am huge!" He just laughed and asked if I needed a visual reminder of the last couple weeks pregnant with DS (I am not yet as big as that). I think my problem is that this LO is sitting so high that I just cant breathe anymore. Seriously - I am still in regular pants so she must have taken up residence in my lungs not my uterus.
I feel REALLY pregnant. I also feel like my belly is sooooo much bigger at this point than it was when I was pregnant with my son. Then I looked at pictures from about the same time and realized that it's really about the same. I'm just bitchier and more tired.
I put on one of my really cute maternity shirts this morning for my doctors appointment and lunch with my mom, and immediately took it off! I suddenly went from 26 weeks to 40 in no time flat with it on.....
I'm actually with @CourtRunde on this one. If it weren't for my belly, I don't know that I'd believe I was pregnant. It might have to do with still being in a bit of denial that at the end of this I'm really going to be a mom, but I was really just thinking today that I don't understand how I'm already in the 3rd tri and how I assumed I'd feel way more pregnant at this point.
After feeling huge and old the past couple of weeks, this week I am feeling pretty great and even slightly "cute pregnant." My son's teacher told me I looked tiny yesterday and you couldn't tell I was pregnant until I turned around. I nearly hugged her! It sure beats my 3 year old laughing and telling random strangers that "Mommy's tummy is fat." That said, I can't believe I have 3 months left to go. I am worried about Christmas and that I will be miserable by then.
I'm with @courtrunde and @katags. I don't feel nearly as pregnant as I expected. One more week til 30, and that number is sort of a reality check. But my belly isn't as big as I thought, I had no real symptoms, and most of the time (as of late) LO's kicks just feel like muscle spasms. I'm so excited for this baby, I wish I felt more pregnant!
I've been feeling so much better the last few weeks - not nauseous, not nearly as exhausted, and my newer symptoms like back pain and heartburn feel like such "normal body" things - that I'd say I feel pregnant with a lower case p at this point. Everyone keeps saying, "Just you wait! Still 12 weeks to go!"

When I look at my naked self in the mirror, I feel huge. But then I get around friends who ask me if I've lost weight because I don't look that big, and my brain gets all confused. I don't think I'll feel super huge until my 28-week ultrasound, when I get to see how big baby really is.
Last night, I got undressed and DH laughed "WOW, you're REALLY pregnant now!" he took a picture as he was laughing and everything.
I guess his reaction pretty much sums up how pregnant I feel. My MFM told me yesterday they will induce me at 37w (if it hasn't happened by then, which it most likely will) and I just thought WAAAAHHHHHHH SO FAR AWAY!
This is so sad, but i laughed really hard!! My husband makes comments about how big I'm getting too. Which leads me to this:
I'm feeling really good and boy do I thank God everyday for that! I do have sciatic issues that are very annoying but overall I'm so thankful for how well my body is taking to being pregnant. I feel like pregnancy really suits me, I'm very confident in my own skin. I have no idea if I will be able to have another baby so I want to enjoy every moment.
I am still feeling good, but am just finally starting to feel pregnant. All of a sudden I have lost all of my stomach muscles. I can no longer bring my leg up to tie my shoe and I make a 3-point turn to get from sleeping on my left to switching to my right. It seems like this happened overnight!
I feel different everyday. Earlier this week with constant BH, I felt so, so pregnant. But today at my OB appt, I had only gained 1/2 a lb in 2 weeks and it was like, "Hmmm. Okay. Maybe it's all in my head..." so today I feel smaller. It prbly doesn't hurt that I'm wearing a non-mat shirt and I can't believe it still fits.
DH and I are planning a MAJOR house clean this weekend. I'm sure after that I'll be all:
I take back not feeling all that pregnant this morning. (
DH just got home from work and said that when he walked in, on a different floor from our kitchen, he could smell that gas was coming from SOMETHING. He ran up to our kitchen and a stove knob was just slightly on. I must have bumped into it with my fat pregnant ass this morning and not even realized it! I could have burned down my house today! So I take it all back. I have no control of this body.
Very pregnant all of a sudden. I was doing really well, but now I suddenly have this pain on the right side in my back, sort of in my ribs. I'm fine standing and lying down, but sitting at my desk at work is getting to be really uncomfortable. I'm out of breath after a small climb upstairs or up the street and I really miss have more then two sleep positions to choose from (and it is so hard to change sides in bed now).
SO pregnant. And not in the happy butterfly and unicorns way. Moving is hard, sitting is uncomfortable and laying down sucks. I'm sure the next few months will be a joy. I don't doubt it is worth every discomfort but, yuck.
Feeling pretty good aside from being exhausted and mildly uncomfortable. And feeling absolutely ginormous. I cannot sleep to save my life anymore, and I'm lucky to get 4-5 broken hours a night. Some days are more achy than others, but for now I'll hold on to feeling "ok".
Honestly, I'm loving this moment at 7 months. I think because its at the stage where you got use to being pregnant. We shall see when we get to 8-9 months.
One of my students who hasn't seen me since July when I wasn't showing called me "exceedingly pregnant" the other day. I thought that was cute. So I feel exceedingly pregnant.
I feel extremely pregnant today after getting off work, where we were short handed, and it's an alumni weekend. Needless to say I don't want to move now that I got home and laid down in bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
I feel so pregnant. I don't know if he's sitting high or what but I catch myself taking deep breaths and right under my boobs i feel like i just expanded and literally sometimes catch myself trying to push it down (on my ribs, not the main belly that's sticking out if that makes any sense!), so weird... Of course I want to go full term and have a healthy baby but sometimes I just get overwhelmed thinking how faaaaarrrr away Jan 20th is (
Very pregnant. During the past week I have become increasingly uncomfortable, the only time I seem to be comfortable is when I am sleeping, and even then, I wake up every 45 to pee

Sometimes I feel there is no way I have 10-11 weeks left. Other times I feel alright.
I'm definitely feeling like the awkward tireds are coming - and the thought of cold dark November is not helping.
Can I just crawl back into bed (and picture a beached whale getting back into bed).
