33 weeks here and so totally exhausted it feels like I'm back in first tri. I also feel like I could eat all day long. However when it comes to eating an actual meal I can barely eat half of it. Sleeping sucks. I toss and turn all night and wake up with my entire back in knots and spasms. On the plus side I don't seem to have any swelling like I did with ds.

36 weeks and sleeping is the worst! Trying to just relax but man alive if I lay on my right side my acid reflex is out of control and my hips hurt!! One more week left for me. I've been in bed rest since 26 weeks and am just ready meet this little man and to be able to make my own meals and do my own laundry!

Muscatmommyof4 · October 2016

My lower back and hips have been on fire the past few days and now swelling in my legs and feet!!! Yay 36 weeks....

kguinn23 · October 2016

Exhausted, especially after teaching all day. My right foot and ankle have been swelling as well. 35 weeks now

PrettyPalomino · October 2016

This is the first week my back can't handle rolling over at night. Feels like every movement is going to dislocate my hips or throw out my back, very painful and semi scary, seeing as I'm only 33 weeks. Also can't eat like 4 hours before bed if I don't want heartburn/acid reflux to force me to sit up and burp it out every few minutes. It sucks to have to scramble to sit up to avoid the acid reflux in the mouth when you don't have the core strength to do it and it hurts the back to move that fast... ugh... already wanting this to be over

so glad we finished the nursery and some freezer meals, I'm going to be couch ridden for the last few weeks for sure.

the bloody nose thing just started for me last week. I've had 2 real ones and one time where I think maybe I had a mild one in my sleep.

Fortunately no migraines, I had them before pregnancy and knock on wood they subsided because of it.

rspalding001 · October 2016

34 weeks and I have a terrible cough and stuffed up nose, does that count? Ha ha... god I just wish I was back to regular pregnancy symptoms now, this constant coughing is driving me nuts and it hurts my stomach :-(

mamahazey · October 2016

The swelling has gotten really bad in the past week. I'm 36+5. I'm a little bit nervous because I've gained 25 lbs as of this morning... but about 7 of that was within the last week. What the heck?

I would assume you're retaining a lot of water and that's why the swelling and the sudden weight gain. But double check with your doctor at your next appointment.

jessicarae614 · October 2016

@kvruns yeah its been a daily thing, I wake up for work at 4:30 and almost instantly after I sit up my nose starts bleeding.. I see my doctor thursday I may just bring it up to him.

LadyBugMe101 · October 2016

I have the rolling over at night feeling that I'm gonna break something. Also it freaks me out to hear/feel a cartilage like sound when my little guy snuggles/moves away from my ribs. I don't know how else to describe it. He's getting stronger and oh man can I feel his movements. I can't sleep unless I'm propped up. I need sleep. My back feels surprisingly better from the second tri but not counting on it to feel this great in the near future. Plus side... I managed to get boots on today. The little things.

I tried on boots last week and the first two pairs I tried wouldn't go on

Fortunately I have a pair of Wide boots that fit but I was sad. Then again it was only cool here for about 2 days and it is now back to 70s and possibly 80 next week

kristah2 · October 2016

I can get my boots on.. however taking them off is another story. New low was needing my husband to come take my hunter boots off because they were stuck and I couldn't bend over or lift my leg enough to get it off myself.

This is me... I love my cowboy boots. I can get them on just fine but I can't get the leverage to pull them off because my belly is in the way. DH also helps me wash my legs and feet in the shower now because it hurts to bend that far. I hate feeling so helpless so I don't wear my boots nearly as much as I'd like to.

The need to pee has increased dramatically in the last couple days as well as what I'm assuming is lightning crotch. I'm fairly certain I'm getting some contractions today too which is both scary and exciting.

jenesiso · October 2016

Whenever I get out of this Hospital bed I feel like I've been kicked in the crotch. Over and over. Not cool.

I teach, too (3rd grade)! It's only by God's grace, I can still cook dinner, chase 2 boys under 5, and get done some of the little things I need to do.

ashleymercado88 · October 2016

I'm now part of the pee-my-pants club because baby girl is really putting the pressure on now!

mrsmoose5 · October 2016

Exhausted. I constantly feel like someone shot me with an elephant tranquilizer. I feel so bad because I want to do fun things with DS, be active with him, take him on walks to the park, etc., but at this point even just walking up our stairs feels like a herculean task. I took him to the park yesterday morning and could barely keep up and was so tired/cranky afterwards. Ugh. Also, lots of swelling and, um, this may be TMI ... but I am going #2 like nonstop all day

jessicarae614 · October 2016

boobs are hurting constantly at this point, like throbbing all the time

Justpeachier13 · October 2016

I'm having migraines every other day. It's horrible

kristah2 · October 2016

Anyone else experience extreme dizziness? I can barely walk straight here this morning. I'm 37+3. Wondering why and best way to cope.

desoky01 · October 2016

I was super dizzy yesterday for part of the day, I think it was a drop in blood sugar. Eating and drinking seemed to help. But I thought I was going to fall over a few times even while sitting!

kristah2 · October 2016

@desoky01 I was just doing some reading and came across a list of signs labour is close and dizziness is one of them! Just something to think about

squish143 · October 2016

@kristah2 I had some extreme dizziness for a few weeks from the end of second tri into the beginning of third tri. I mentioned it to my ob and the only thing we could come up with (since my blood sugar and blood pressure were both great) was that it was allergy related. I started taking my Claritin faithfully every single day and it got better. I haven't had a problem in probably 3 weeks. I hope you feel better cause dizziness is an absolute pain.

desoky01 · October 2016

@kristah2 that's exciting and terrifying at the same time! I have also been a crying mess lately. DH and I had a stressful night, and I'm a mess today. I have uncontrollably cried three times already today!

BmcD2016 · October 2016

@squish143 I agree. I had the same problem and once I started taking a Benadryl every night, my dizziness eased.

LauraJosh11 · October 2016

I've had swollen feet for the past 2 months along with RLS. My newest symptoms at 35 weeks are diarrhea and jitteriness/high pulse rate. Anyone else experiencing these?
