Umm.. Uncomfortable ALREADY! Wha??

braly255 · May 2015

I am 19 weeks, and for the past several days I have become quit uncomfortable.. I feel short of breath at times, my boobs and my belly itch non stop, my abdomen is in constant misery (not painful, just discomfort), I have Braxton Hicks in the evenings, and the nausea is back! It's like I can feel my intestines and internal organs shifting, and I can feel my uterus stretching.. Anyone else feeling this pregnant yet? I don't remember feeling this way this early with my first!

MamaOwl15 · May 2015

I definitely am. I don't remember being this uncomfortable at 19 weeks with my son, either, but maybe it starts earlier with #2 and beyond!

aah1013 · May 2015

Yeah, sadly (not too sadly, though), I feel pretty freakin pregnant. Bending down is already a task. Turning over in bed takes planning. I just feel very, very far a long and I'm only 19 weeks. This is so foreign to me since I never felt that big with my first. I hope this isn't an indication of how big I'll be by the end!

StephN310 · May 2015

I feel the same way!! And it is scaring me for how I'll deal in the end! One day at a time!

J1D · May 2015

I read this and thought, "what do you mean 'already'!?" I guess I'm an overachiever in the uncomfortable department. I've had issues since really early in the pregnancy. I'm 17 weeks now and truly terrified about what happens when I actually get big.

I am too. This baby is high up and his legs are already super strong. I can't sleep, i can't breathe. All i want to do is swim or be massaged and of course my kids are in high maintenence mode anytime I'm exhausted.

I think my kids are constantly in high maintenance mode now!! Or maybe I just dealt with it better before! I feel the end will be rough if the best part of pregnancy is going so poorly!

komorebi · May 2015

I hope not! Maybe this is the peak? Lolol.doubt it.

emilymw14 · May 2015

I'm a day shy of 19 weeks and a FTM but I totally feel all of those things... I want to sleep a full night but that doesn't look like it will happen for a long time lol

bgriest · May 2015

I'm 18 weeks, 3 days and for the past few day I've had so much lower abdominal pain/discomfort. I fibally figured out that it's due to all my ligaments and muscles stretching. It makes walking a challenge sometimes or even just sitting down to pee and getting back up.

I'm exhausted and usually go to bed at 10pm and wake up every hour and a half to pee then by 4am I'm wiiiide awake.

beckles112 · May 2015

I will be 17 weeks tomorrow and I feel so uncomfortable! My lower stomach hurts from the stretching. I feel like I'm in the middle of a sit-up, if that makes sense. It's hard to get comfortable when sitting.

star8627 · May 2015

I feel super uncomfortable too. It just feels like I have never ending bloating and gas! I can't sit at work without squirming!

komorebi · May 2015

Some babies just sit wonky. I know i need tu be moving more and not tucking my pelvis so much, but i have been so tired, and unmotivated this week. I really could use a massage and a chiropractic visit or ten!

laceyjaep · May 2015

Feeling the same at 18 weeks 5 days. It was not like this with my first either. I am not even half way there and I feel done already.

trickyswife · May 2015

I am 17 weeks today and I have been feeling like this for a few days! I groaned as I got up today and my husband asked if I was okay I told him it's just everything stretching. And adjusting. Then I said I will be awful at the end if it is like this! I hope the summer isn't too hot! He just kind of giggled!
The sit up comparison is very accurate! @beckles112

sugarplum513 · May 2015

I was just saying this to hubby today. My hips hurt, my lower back is barking, and I have cankles. How am I 17 weeks and already feel like I'm 37 weeks? Jeez!

anorthro · May 2015

I'm almost 20 weeks and a FTM. I feel all sorts of stretching and discomfort at this point. Rolling over is hard. Putting on my shoes is uncomfortable. And let's not forget the rib spreading pains! I sit long hours at work and I can feely ribs expanding at the base of my sternum.

I am starting to feel kicks though!

Kristyhana · May 2015

Add me to the list. I can't even imagine what it'll be like in 20 more weeks.

melalinga · May 2015

Wow I feel so lucky! ! Since the morning sickness stopped I've been great! ! Working as normal, cleaning my horses paddock and riding as I normally do! !

demeeka · May 2015

I can't breathe already like a fat girl and my hips hurt sometimes ... Yay! Just glad I'm not the only one

Show off!

Lol! Not sure I wish I were cleaning horse poo but the rest sounds lovely

Although I do love some good composted horse manure for the garden and I do wish I felt good enough to garden so I guess even the horse poo part doesn't sound too bad.

rue:D · May 2015

Same at 17w!

brittanispears · May 2015

I've been super uncomfortable since my 12th week. I always have a sore shoulder from sleeping on my sides. And this morning I woke up with the worst sciatic pain. I could barely walk and my husband had to help me to the bathroom.

vamomtobe · May 2015

Ugh my FEET! With my first pregnancy, my feet didn't bother me until the end of the 3rd trimester, but they are already feeling swollen, extra stinky, and painful. WTF. I really am not looking forward to this summer, I think work is going to have to deal with me wearing flip-flops. And I'm trying hard not to waddle, but I feel like it's happening. At least I can still sleep comfortably! Not taking that for granted!

elmann1 · May 2015

I'm totally waddling!! I cant roll over in bed easily or get off our futon without DH pulling me up. I feel super uncomfortable as of the middle of last week!

nsaid4u · May 2015

I feel out of shape and having all sorts of pain. This is my 4th baby, i was 20 when i had my first, i am currently 31. The older i get, the harder the pregnancies are on me.

braly255 · May 2015

Sorry to say that I am glad I'm not alone!! I am an ER nurse, and the last thing I want to do is go take care of other people... (I know that sounds awful). I love my job, but here lately I have just wanted to sit and prop my feet up!! 20 weeks to go!

MeganKGarcia · May 2015

I'm 17wk and I've been pretty uncomfortable for the past 2wks or so. Just the feeling of everything stretching out and shifting is a bizarre feeling for me. Eating full meals has pretty much become impossible because of how uncomfortable I quickly become. So now I just eat every 3hrs.

I was 27 with my first and am 33 now. The difference is astounding!!! My abdominal muscles are weak compared to then! It makes my uterus ache!

sweet+cheeks · May 2015

My back was killing me and I busted out the belly brace from last pregnancy. I'm 17 weeks and I can not believe that I'm using it this early. But seriously I felt so much better. I have a short torso so baby only has room to go out. Not looking forward to getting bigger if I'm already having problems now. Highly recommended the belly brace though for those with back/belly pain!

RainbowMama7 · May 2015

Sorry you ladies are feeling this way, but glad I'm not alone...I keep
thinking I shouldn't feel this way yet!

gerbies · May 2015

I am here, too. I thought it was just me, being overweight AND 40. We went to Vegas last weekend for a long weekend baby moon and all I really wanted to do was rest. I will be 20 weeks in 2 days and I have had cankles (though not every day) and some discomfort. Early in my pregnancy (like 4-5 weeks), I pulled a muscle in my lower abs. Now, when I turn from side-to-side at night in bed a certain way, it pulls it again...sigh. I am lucky that I am able to work from home (our building is being renovated), so I sit in bed with my laptop most days. I already told my husband that I am going nowhere this summer if there is no AC. My in-laws never put on the AC and like to have outside barbecues. I told him that I will see them after the baby is born...lol.

I am having the crazy itchies and my boobs hurt way worse then ever. My baby already weighs a pound and is measuring 13 inches and i am a small framed thick girl. And i look like i am due but i have gained 1.5 pounds and everything is stretching and hurting. This didnt happen with my other daughter 12 years ago
