  I'm only a few days ahead of you and feel the same way.  I cried to dh about it yesterday too, lol.  I'm so tired and worried about how much bigger I'm going to get.  I feel like I was when I was full term with my ds, but dr said I'm only measuring 34 weeks.

  I am right there with you. My girls ate me alive yesterday, I can't keep up!

  I can't wait to get my body back. I can't do anything anymore. I always judged pregnant moms who would say things about wanting their babies to come early... Didn't they know that's a risk?!?! Well here I am eating my words because I had an eviction notice conversation with my belly last night, lol. I begged them not to go all the way to the end, 37 weeks sounds like a good compromise.

  Glad I'm not alone, but sorry you're all feeling similarly. I don't ever remember feeling this way with DD. Granted at 40 weeks I was doing what I could to get her to come, because I didn't want to be induced, but that was at 40 weeks I'm only 30+. 

  At my last appointment I wasn't even feeling as bad and my OB said that maybe they'd come at 37 weeks on their own and that'd be fine. 

  
  

  I actually slept pretty swell yesterday which helped a bit and I feel like yesterday I was retaining a lot of fluid so everything ached/hurt. 

  
  

  Hang in there ladies, we're in the home stretch.

  If it makes you feel better, I was 56" around (I'm only 4'11") the day before having mine. I looked and felt like Violet Beauregard in a blueberry suit.

  
  

  It was very uncomfortable, but very funny to look back on now that I'm almost 8 months PP.

  Do you ladies wear any belly support belts? It honestly saved me after 30 weeks. I had the upsie baby band by belly bandit and it was a god send.
  It's just the hardest thing you can do, but I made it to 37 weeks and the minute the girls were born I felt better. Just try to eat as much as you can too. It really helps. I know I had a ton of trouble getting food in. I had no appetite. But when I got those calories, that made for a better day for me too.
  Big, huge hugs! It's so hard but sooo worth it.

  Thanks @ceechie  I was just going to ask about a support belt - I emailed my doctor yesterday after feeling so well and she suggested one.

  I hit my wall at 31w. It just got hard to function after that. I made it to 34w.

  It's soooooo hard, but SO temporary! Like the girls said, immediate relief when they're born and it just keeps getting better from there! Hang in there, you and your body are stronger than you ever imagined! You're doing great!

  I'm 33w,3days and felt like this past week was really hard and I'm about done. Of course I want to make it 38 weeks, but it's getting harder and harder to imagine that actually happening! I'm in major need of a pep talk telling me that I can do this and the next few weeks will fly by! I was skeptical of a pregnancy support belt helping, but it actually has been really great the past couple of weeks. I got one at BRU and I'd highly recommend trying it. It has helped my back and SPD big time.

  Hang in there ladies! 

  I appreciate all the pep talks. 

  I'm both glad and sorry that I'm not alone in feeling like this. It's hard to feel so over pregnancy. I worked hard, had losses, paid a lot of money for both of my pregnancies and I know I"m truly lucky, but I'm so so done. this weekend was a bit better so I'm hoping once leave starts it'll not be as hard on me. But I have 3-4 more weeks and that's a very frightening thought.

  I'm right at 30 weeks and will randomly get little panic attacks about my discomfort.  I'll be sitting in my recliner when suddenly I notice my swollen feet, then my rib cage aches, then my back hurts, then I can't breath very well, and it sort of goes down hill from there.  Distraction seems to be the best way to get me out of my little freak outs.  Eating something, watching TV, or talking to someone about non-baby subjects helps.
