I don't know about anyone else but third trimester has greeted me with extreme fatigue, moodiness, headaches, and NAUSEA! I knew it wouldn't be a cake walk but wow. Hope these symptoms dull a little! Anyone else? The nausea has me puzzled....no appetite. I think he is pretty high in there...may have something to do with it..

    I'm definitely more tired now and do have waves of nausea again.  I'm glad I got all of my nesting done already....I have a few minor things to do but it's mostly just waiting at this point.  I can't sleep either anymore...up all night with heartburn and tossing and turning.  Hang in there ladies!  Third tri is going to fly by and our babies will be here before we know it.

    I start 3rd tri March 1st, but was perplexed by my nausea this morning.  Normally I am a (not so) lean mean eating machine.  Finishing breakfast was a tough challenge.  Fatigue - yep.  Headaches that make me want to cut my own head off started last weekend.

    I am miserable right now. DH got sick and now I'm sick and can't do shit about it. This on top of 3rd tri kicking my ass. Exhausted all the time, but can't sleep at night.. WTF?!

    The tiredness hit me like a ton of bricks, but what annoys me most is the constant pressure of LO pushing up on my right side.  I feel like his feet or his head wants to bust out of my right side and yell "Surprise"!

    Also I feel like an uncomfortable cow, I imagine my uterus is expanding rapidly and pushing out and up.

    The nausea is probably because your stomach is getting smashed and your whole digestive system has slowed down. Try eating smaller, more frequent meals, and avoid foods that are greasy, heavy, sugary, or slow to digest. Salad was a major no-no for me the last half of my first pregnancy. It just sat there like a lump in my gut for hours. So gross.

    Maintaining a healthy diet will most likely help with the other symptoms too. Focus on fiber, protein, and fluids (especially water and milk).

    Regular exercise and fresh air also help. Try to take at least 30 minutes' worth of walks per day. You can even break it up -- take a 10-minute walk for every 3 hrs you sit in one place.

    Ugh, I hate this 3rd tri business. Tums are my best friend and I have to sleep practically sitting up to be comfortable/able to breath. I can't walk up the stairs anymore without having to stop and catch my breath. Not cool!

    I can't sleep. And celery made me sick the other day. Also I think baby is trying to escape by any means necessary. right side,left side, the front of my stomach.......And I have no appetite which is bad because I have gained only 13 pounds and my dr informed me I need to gain at least a pound a week from here on out for her to be happy. So I have been drinking ensure to make sure the baby is getting what it needs....

    Third tri is not being so kind over here either :( 29 weeks hit me like a wall. The exhaustion is back, which I can begrudgingly deal with. The nausea on the other hand I have zero patience for. I hate feeling sick!

    Yeah...third tri nausea and no appetite here and I know for a fact she is smashing my stomach so not surprised but it sucks. Im back to not feeling like eating anything and have little desire for food- I got a rotisserie chicken from work and basically picked at it with baby carrots for dinner just to eat something :/

    Seriously the tiredness hit me like a bus on Monday. I didn't have any ms or exhaustion during first tri but now I feel tired all the time, to the point where my eye is twitchy.

    I am right there with you! And I thought the 1st trimester was bad. 1st tri all I did was sleep, but now I can't sleep and I'm even more exhausted. And the 3rd tri discomfort is kicking in. It's going to be a long 10ish weeks!

    Having the same sleep problems here! I am constantly tossing and turning, my back hurts so I can't get comfortable. After being on my side for awhile my hip hurts, I flip over and it happens to the other one! My eye is constantly twitching all day from being tired.
