I'm 33 weeks and 5 days and I feel awful. When I wake up I am ready to go back to sleep, everything I eat makes me nauseous, my body aches. I just wanted to see if anyone else is having this problem.
Sounds normal, but if your concerned consult your physician, they know more about you then we do and can run test to make sure nothing is wrong, we can't . Never know you could have low iron, talk to the doc
It's normal to feel like crap when you're pregnant. Trust me, we all do. It never hurts to talk to your doctor & rule out illness, or low iron as PP suggested.
Right there with you. It's like, hey, this pregnancy thing... it's been cool, but it's time to end. Game over! Just give me the prize, my baby boy, and leave me the hell alone.
Did you even bother to look for other posts about this? Cause you would have found some.
Not only that, but have you ever heard anything about being pregnant? Like, at all? I came into this knowing I would be tired and achy. Fully expected it.
Well, I have the same feelings so thanks for asking. While I have researched and heard being achy and tired were normal, it's a bit different than I expected. I'm another FTM and didn't realize it would kind of feel like the flu or that 1st tri symptoms would come back or that the swelling in my hands would render them basically useless if I intend to grasp or open something. It's all so new. Next time around I guess I'll be an expert. Hang in there.

My first two pregnancies were phenomenal. I worked til the day of and was never sick or swollen. That was a long long time ago. With this baby I'm sooo exhausted, constantly sick w colds, on iron, prevacid, zyrtec and prenatal vitamins. I'm falling apart and just stressed. But it's almost over. Yes hang in there. You're not alone.
I'm sorry you are feeling like crap. And I am sorry some of the other ladies have rude comments. I guess they don't realize not everyone is knowledgeable about pregnancy until they experience it. Yes it is normal. Pregnancy can be different for everyone, but there are a lot of things that most people feel. If you are worried, talk to your doctor. You may have low iron which could make it worse.

One thing to keep in mind is that no two pregnancies are the same. A first and second pregnancy can be totally different,
symptom-wise, for the same person. My sister had loads of morning
sickness with her first, and pretty much none with her second. In fact,
a heightened sense of smell was the only thing she said was the same
between the two. And for me, personally, I don't feel at all like I have a flu and my swelling doesn't prohibit me from tightly grasping objects when needed. I can definitely say I've come across some things I didn't know before, but feeling tired, achey, and sometimes ill were all things I fully anticipated going into this. And that was with no research of my own, just my experience with friends and family who have been pregnant. Getting out of breath so easily, swamp crotch, RLP... Now those are things I wish I'd been prepared for.

Nobody was being rude to her they were pointing out that a lot of women feel this way during pregnancy.. If she would have done a quick search she would have seen that this isn't the first post about "does anybody else feel like this"...I'm a FTM and most of the time when I have questions like this I don't clog up the board with the millionth "is this normal" post.. I just call my doctor first or do a quick google search.. Nobody was being rude.. Just pointing out that pregnancy is not kittens and rainbows.. I actually rather like the fact that the regular ladies don't sugar coat stuff when I ask a dumb question.. I would rather people give me a straight up answers instead of some sugar coated unicorn shitting rainbows answer..

I don't think anyone was being rude. To be honest, no one really knows what pregnancy is like the first time around but if some women would actually pick up a book and read it , it may answer some of their questions! Or better yet, talk to your Dr !
