Why do I feel this way??!!

Today I've been just... What's the word? Miserable. You know that feeling when you're getting sick and your whole body aches and head hurts and you feel feverish. That's how I feel plus my back and pelvic bones are KILLING me. But the weird thing is I don't think I'm getting sick? I don't know why my body feels this way and I really just want it to go away. I just want some sleep!!!! Also this morning around 5-540 AM I had two super strong contractions. Not the BH contractions I've been feeling. These were intense!! Then no more after those two, only some small BH contractions throughout the day. Only. Four. Weeks. Left.

Thanks for listening to my vent.

    I feel the same way! The exhaustion just hit me yesterday. I think baby turned slightly so he's head down now. I am feeling more pressure more toward my pelvis, where I used to be able to feel his head on the bottom left and feet at top right. This also means he's kicking more in my digestive organs now, which is making me feel nauseous, and I can only eat a little at a time. 

    But as of yesterday, I'm also feeling short of breath, achy muscles, light-headed at times, and I don't think I can attribute all that to the baby's position. I still have 6 weeks left. I hope it doesn't last the whole time.

    I'm a STM but I'm having a hard time remeber things from my last pregnancy since it was 7 yrs ago a friend of mine told me that her grandma always said when you start to feel like your getting the flu it means your getting so close to starting labor!! Idk if it's true lol I don't remeber feeling like that she says she did tho.

    My guess is you feel that way because you're in your 3rd trimester. It is its own unique form of hell at times, isn't it?

    First thing I thought when I read this is, maybe you're going to go into labor soon. Hope you can get some rest and feel better, if it's not in fact the start of labor...

    I think Mother Nature makes us miserable so we will want this thing OUT and push! I feel like I'm on death's door... I'm having a RCS in 17 days and have thought about cutting him out myself! I'm so miserable!!

    Thanks for the replies ladies :) labor & delivery asked me to go in to be evaluated today because of the on & off fever. They collected a urine sample and blood sample, told me the labs came back fine & said it's probably just my body getting ready to deliver. Then sent me home. I'm 36 weeks today, head is down & I'm dialated to 1 & a half. I just wish I knew when he's coming out, not knowing is driving me nuts.

    That's why you have an EDD.

    Yes, clearly.

    My point is..stop stressing yourself about when LO will or won't be here...
    You have 4 weeks left- and you're in the home stretch. At SOME point during the next 28 days (hopefully)- It'll be alllllllll over!

    Sounds like exhaustion to me.  Just today, I've felt like I just did some intense 2 hour workout - my whole body is just tired and feels weak.  The effort it took to do anything today was embarrassing!  Try to stay hydrated and hang in there!
