Hitting the wall...

kellyfo14 · December 2014

I am about to be 35 weeks and after a day of lugging laundry up and down the stairs and folding it all, taking the kids to and from preschool for a couple hours this morning, grocery shopping, and making dinner/cleaning up after I think I have hit the pregnancy wall. All tuckered out, headache and back ache and I feel like my energy will be shot till I deliver in January. Anyone else hit the wall?

I fell asleep in the waiting room at my last appointment!

Me, me, me! I am just done. So freaking done. I'm having a RCS on 12/31 so at least I know the end is near, but it feels sooo far away.

kellyfo14 · December 2014

@ljordan722‌ You poor thing! I feel ya, fell asleep during my 3 hour glucose test last month after the sugar rush wore off!

@moonfaerie‌ Mine is scheduled for January 14th. A little less than a month. I am going to be a disaster for the holidays.

I did the same thing after my 3hr! It worried me, so I did a little research and the drowsiness is a side effect of the glucose/high blood sugar. I was thinking I had failed it for sure!

This was me on Saturday! I fell asleep at 6pm because I just couldn't anymore. I feel almost like I did during the 1st trimester when I was just so exhausted all the time.

Yes. 38 weeks now, and I don't feel rested ever. I'm SO EXHAUSTED all day, every day. I've been looking forward to sleeping in the hospital, which we all know doesn't even happen. For some reason, I feel that the limited sleep with a newborn will be so much more restful than the pregnancy "sleep" that I get now, haha!

I say this to expecting Mamas all the time. I would much rather take a night's sleep with a 1 month old than a night's sleep at 37 weeks.

After feeling pretty great, I think I'm there now. Yesterday leached all the energy that I had, and now I just want to lay around for the next 3 weeks.

I DID manage to force myself to make meatloaf and homemade marinara sauce for the freezer. Trying to slowly build up a food supply. So far, it's not going great. Lol

Stairs = instant cramps in my butt.

I am so tired, I almost fell asleep in my bath tonight.

kellyfo14 · December 2014

So glad I'm not alone, ladies!

dash419 · December 2014

Me! Some days I do hardly anything, like dishes & a couple loads of laundry & then I've got to take a nap.

Maebb · December 2014

I went Christmas shopping after work and wrapped 2 presents, and that's all I could do. We got delivery for dinner, and now I'm in bed. So tired. My Chinese fortune said, "Soon you will take a long vacation," and I laughed because that is false (unless maternity leave counts as a vacation), but it sure sounds nice.

sanbry · December 2014

I've hit the wall hard this week. I'll be 35 weeks on Friday. Everything hurts, I'm super tired and winded and really emotional. I don't remember this until the very end last time but I also wasn't chasing a toddler then lol

Edvent · December 2014

I'm at the wall too! Up until last week I'd been really uncomfortable in the evenings and things would kind of "re-set" at night and I'd start the day off feeling ok. There is no more re-set, just constant pressure and vag pain and I feel like I'm going to explode. 5 more weeks until my RCS and it makes me want to cry when I think about feeling like this for 5 more weeks...

laceysbryan · December 2014

My bosses and I went to a work thing this afternoon that was 45 minutes away and I almost fell asleep in the backseat. I'm also only averaging about one home cooked meal per week because I just want to do nothing at the end of the day. So. Freaking. Tired.

HStrawberry · December 2014

My energy has definitely been dropping. I had a pretty busy day of errands, visiting friends, and a really long walk so I thought I'd take it easy and make/roll some peanut butter balls. My arms were dying after half an hour... Usually I make a triple batch this time of year but it took all my energy to roll out one batch (150). I keep forgetting that I don't have the same stamina I used to

tslmom87 · December 2014

This whole pregnancy I've been hitting the wall. Zero energy at all, I will be very happy when this is all over on Wednesday or Thursday! I'm hoping my energy will come back in a few weeks like it did after I had my first. If not, its off to the Dr to see what is up.

cmaceachern · December 2014

Ugh, I hear you ladies! I'm so tired all the time and the sleep I get at night is so shitty I wonder how I'll make it through work the next day.

I start mat leave at the end of the week and can't wait! I'm looking froward to morning and afternoon naps :P

SSCmomma · December 2014

Still working all week and by the time I get to the weekend and have to get the whole freaking house cleaned I am in tears from exhaustion. Hoping I'll have a week or two of rest after the holidays and before baby is born. By rest I mean getting the nursery done, getting all baby's stuff moved into our house from MILs and washing it, shampooing the carpets, shopping for all the stuff I haven't had a chance to get, preparing some dinners to freeze and packing my hospital bag. This kid seriously can't come early!

snowbaby1214 · December 2014

The couch is my best friend. I've been so tired! I just want my normal energy level back so badly! I hate not being able to do as much.

FitmomJess · December 2014

I'm sick of my coworkers staring at me like I'm going to give birth at work.

cotyb · December 2014

Yes! I'm going on 34 weeks and I'm seriously in zombie mode lately.. ugh! We're almost there though, ladies!

RobynAshley · December 2014

YES. Holy cow... 36 weeks tomorrow and I can't sleep (partially because of this pregnancy insomnia business and partially because of my newly developed eczema). Even if I could sleep, I don't know that it would help. Hubby has been working crazy hours and managed to sneak in a nap while I was still at work. I got so jealous that I cried.

We're SO close! Hopefully we all get some rest around the holidays too.

Jamie02Lee · December 2014

I just said the same thing to DH yesterday. I said I missed the 2nd trimester when I just could get n wanted to get so much done around my house. Now I'm lucky if I stop eating cereal n wash the bowls I'm using myself lol..

idontevenknow · December 2014

I hit the wall before I knew I was pregnant. I'm still stuck on the wall. Idk how people go to work and school, and take care of a family successfully while pregnant. I'm not doing great at work- I even got a documented verbal warning and a I got a C in the bio class I took..SMH.... so.frickin.tired.

jennkg3 · December 2014

oh MEEEEEEEeeeee!!!! Now that I switched obs and feel completely confident in them and baby is head down, let's get this show on the road. I have an 18 month old and a 3 year old who don't enjoy mommy laying on the couch. My little 18 month old who I love so dearly is driving me insane crawling up and down the stairs (we have 4 floors) please, child, sit and play with your trucks!!!!

BackseatDriver · December 2014

I was there- done done done, but I feel like going to physical therapy has helped me a lot. I'm in so much less pain so I can get around and actually leave the house. Plus I am sleeping a bit better. Still, a month seems so long and so short at the same time. Hopefully the holidays help the time fly by.

llambrose · December 2014

Ugh...me too...I am exhausted! So tired of working, I backed out of a luncheon thing today because I was too tired and sore to walk to the car. I just want to be at home in bed with a heating pad. My pelvis hurts, the joint in the right side hurts so much, I am crampy, lots of discharge which is super annoying, and my legs are feeling super swollen. We are having baked potatoes for dinner because I can stick them in the oven and rest for an hour! I found out today that my maternity leave plan won't work after all so I had to revise it which makes me go back earlier than I wanted to. I also have to work Saturday which SUCKS!!
