I'm 29 weeks, mmmkay? People all the time come up and oogle my belly and say stuff like "Bet you can't WAIT to have that baby! Ready to pop, eh?"</p> <p>If I feel like being nice, I say something like "Haha nope, he still needs to cook awhile longer." If I'm in a bad mood, I say "Actually he would be severely premature and wouldn't be able to breathe on his own, so no, I am not 'SO READY' to have this baby." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1460740 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 20:45:36 +0000 Bao 1460740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so right there with you! I am just over the fact that I get so snappy lately, especially with A and I feel like the worst mom ever. I'm so sore, so tired, and ready to be done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1460697 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 20:22:01 +0000 skipra 1460697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am lucky that so far I'm feeling great. Just a little back pain from carrying DS and those kicks and stretches are getting strong and painful. Nothing major but I am SOOOOOO tired. DS has been sleeping like crap at night and I am just exhausted. What I would do for a solid uninterrupted 6 hours of sleep right now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1460665 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 20:05:00 +0000 LovelyPlum 1460665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in! My two biggest issues right now are carpal tunnel, which means I can't feel my right hand without a brace, and my hip. Having a dislocated hip while pregnant is less than charming. And of course, I fell again on Monday, this time on the other side, so now that hurts, too. All I want to do is sleep, but laying and sitting hurt. Sigh.</p> <p>I'm grateful, I really am. I'm not sure I'm ready to be done, but I'm tired. I'm ready for some relief! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1460006 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 09:31:54 +0000 ElbieKay 1460006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wellllllll today I am six days overdue! (Sort of. I think I'm four days overdue based on when I ovulated. Six days is based on my LMP.)</p> <p>I am really worried about needing an induction. Plus there is a forecast for a terrible snowstorm on Sunday night / Monday.</p> <p>And I was planning to go to prenatal yoga today, but the class is cancelled! WTF?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1459119 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:57:03 +0000 Mrsjets 1459119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I feel you! I'm over the whole planking thing - head in he pelvis and feet/knees in my ribs! I'm trying to be grateful too but it's just so hard. I'm trying to not freak out about being over due...but I feel like crying...but I'm trying to be rational. Pregnancy is such a ride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1459073 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:33:11 +0000 lemondrop 1459073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BIG hugs honey, I hear ya! Last night was my last commute in our Jeep Wrangler... I barely fit behind the wheel, had to unhook my bra for the drive and shove a spare tee shirt behind my back for support- RI-donk! :/ </p> <p>An exercise ball has literally been my lifesaver lately, unless I'm propped on two pillows, with a belly pillow, and a head pillow (hello, high maintenance!) on my side on the couch, or sitting on the exercise ball- I am uncomfortable. </p> <p>Last night was the first quality night's sleep I have had in weeks- my husband has been up with a cough/cold and says I am up every 45 minutes to an hour peeing. This sleep-peeing is going to break the bank in toilet paper costs!! I had no idea it was that frequent. I think last night exhaustion hit because I got up ONCE! Probably my last time STTN for a long, long time!</p> <p>Yes, this kiddo has been extremely uncomfortable every time he moves- Cam was cute when he moved, this kiddo is NOT. He has been grinding his head down there so frequently- I figure I'm earning every centimeter of dilation! </p> <p>I'm totally ok with one thing: As for the bonding- I am loving it!!!! This is prime time for Daddy to be THE MAN, so I am letting them bond away! We are going to need to rely on that bond over the next few months, so to me- the stronger, the better! It's not going to be easy with toddler jealousy, I feel so bad that W and C's world's are about to turn upside down, but they are getting the best play toys we can give them soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1459061 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:28:51 +0000 kml636 1459061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aw, I'm so sorry! Try a snoogle. Worth every penny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1459056 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:27:03 +0000 jill_a55 1459056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear ya! I work retail and standing for 8 hrs a day is a pain! I'm sitting on my break right now and that's even more uncomfortable because I have a baby part in my ribs stabbing me while I try to eat. All I want to do is take off my shoes and my bra and lay down!! </p> <p>I had a drs appt. yesterday and was secretly wishing that he'd tell me I couldn't work anymore. </p> <p>Night time is just crap too... I could go on for days, but I'll let some other bees chime in too :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1459055 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:26:46 +0000 Mamasig 1459055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry! I'm just hitting my 3rd trimester and the true discomfort is starting. I still feel this pregnancy has been way easier than my 1st, but I had my 1st little cry fest last night. For me, the tipping point was heartburn and indigestion which has now begun. I'm starting to remember what us coming my way - sleepless nights, pelvic pain, etc. </p> <p>And I do feel like a bad mama because I can't play with DS as much and my patience is thin when I'm tired. </p> <p>Just got to focus on the prize at the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1459042 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:19:15 +0000 Glitter 1459042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm barely into the 3rd trimester, but I could vent too :happy: I'm almost 30 wks and have been on bedrest for 2 weeks because of pelvic pain. Now my doc is suggesting hospitalization to deal with the pain. </p> <p>I too have a long commute to and from work - 1.5 hrs each way, and then 9 hrs on the job, so I've been grateful for the bed rest, despite the pain and immobility. I'm just ready to meet my baby already but I know he needs more time to cook... sigh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1459038 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:16:45 +0000 Dandelion 1459038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: yep. March 31 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1459037 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:16:20 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1459037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: HUGS. The last few weeks are the absolute worst. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1459031 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:14:30 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1459031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Oh I know that pelvic pain all too well. I had it SO bad with DD1 so I honestly feel for you. At least there's a date in sight, right?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1459024 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:12:05 +0000 Dandelion 1459024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like someone has kicked me in the pelvis. :( I also have 3-4 doctor appointments a week. I'm ready for him to come so that I can clear my calendar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-pregnancy-vent-feel-free-to-share-yours#post-1459021 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 17:09:20 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1459021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok - I'm sorry, but I'm going to let out a massive vent. Feel free to skip over it ;-)</p> <p>I'm so over this pregnancy. I know that's awful to say and I should just be grateful that I'm about to have a baby... but I'm so miserable right now - and I still have at least 3-4 weeks to go!</p> <p>If I'm sitting it feels like she's stabbing me down low from the inside or grinding on my back bone. I could handle the kicks all day, but the movement she's making with her head and hands is killer and leaves me feeling bruised from the inside out. I dread the 45 min drive to and from work every day, as well as sitting down the whole 9 hours I'm here :-(</p> <p>I can't sleep either. If I lay on my left side, my right shoulder will hurt so bad in 5 min. But if I lay on my right side, my leg falls asleep after another few min. So I'll switch back to my left side and repeat this process all night.</p> <p>Between the pain, lack of sleep and lack of energy, I've had it! I'm tired of not being able to play with my daughter. It absolutely kills me to see that she's bonding more with DH than me, only because I'm too (fill in the blank) to actually play with her. And when I do spend time with her, I have no patience because of said reasons, and it makes me feel like a horrible mom. I'm honestly thinking of having my doctor induce me at 39 weeks.... </p>
