I ached every day. But at least the memory fades after the baby comes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-motivated-in-the-third-trimester#post-1371555 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:50:32 +0000 ElbieKay 1371555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was doing pretty well until around week 32-33. Then all of my muscles, especially in my back, started to complain a lot. Commuting has started to feel harder.</p> <p>I finally scheduled a prenatal massage this past weekend, at 35w0d. It was HEAVEN. It really helped relieve my back pain for a few days, though today it seems to be back in full swing. I made weekly appointments until my due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-motivated-in-the-third-trimester#post-1371554 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:50:19 +0000 lemondrop 1371554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lack motivation most days, plain and simple. When I have a good day and go into nesting mode, I take full advantage of it... but those days are few and far between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-motivated-in-the-third-trimester#post-1371460 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:12:11 +0000 Dandelion 1371460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, I mopped. Now for a 3 hour break, cause my back didn't like it so much. </p> <p>9 more weeks...9 more weeks... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-motivated-in-the-third-trimester#post-1371459 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:12:02 +0000 fussygal 1371459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice just sympathy! I constantly put off the littlest things knowing they will wipe me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-motivated-in-the-third-trimester#post-1371397 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 17:46:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 1371397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, but I felt your pain! Just think in a few short weeks you will have a sweet baby boy to hold! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-motivated-in-the-third-trimester#post-1371379 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 17:41:34 +0000 Beyond2 1371379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice but I'm 27ish weeks and feeling the same way. I have all I can do to take care of DS let alone keep up with everything I want to :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-motivated-in-the-third-trimester#post-1371362 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 17:36:01 +0000 MapleMoose 1371362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I know exactly what you are going through. I was so sore and simply moving was a chore. My heating pad and I shared a lot of quality time together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-motivated-in-the-third-trimester#post-1371321 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 17:21:39 +0000 MrsRcCar 1371321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no advice to share but I know the feeling. I feel you on the grocery store thing. I am hoping this Saturday will be fun for me , I am going to be doing a lot of walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-motivated-in-the-third-trimester#post-1371295 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 17:09:01 +0000 prettylizy 1371295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, saving grace right now is Chriopractic and massage care. I had a chiro appt yesterday and I slept so well last night and feel great today. My achy level has gone from a 7 to a 4. I have a massage next week, then Chiro again the week after that...... it's survival mode time! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-motivated-in-the-third-trimester#post-1371284 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 17:05:59 +0000 Dandelion 1371284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Ugh, grocery shopping. I usually love it. But, now it's just another hassle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-motivated-in-the-third-trimester#post-1371273 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 16:59:43 +0000 Mae 1371273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No real advice… yesterday I got a stitch in my side just walking through the grocery store bc LO was riding high and squishing my lungs and I was having a hard time breathing deeply. I sort of just had to laugh at my pathetic-ness… unable to even grocery shop like a normal person and I"m not even in my 3rd tri yet! (25.5 weeks). </p> <p>Eyes on the prize, I guess? When I feel crappy I don't do anything. When I'm feeling better I do. This is a short period of our lives and dirty floors or not, we'll get through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/staying-motivated-in-the-third-trimester#post-1371268 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 16:57:39 +0000 Dandelion 1371268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only close to 30 weeks, but I'm already feeling so uncomfortable. Between my hips and my pelvis hurting, lack of sleep, this stupid cough I've been having and the stress of dealing with GD and all the extra doctor appointments and monitoring I'm having to go through, I feel like I have nothing left in me for doing basic house cleaning. I just swept the kitchen floor, and I *want* to mop (and I probably will), but I know I'll have to practically take a nap right after.</p> <p>It doesn't help that I have practically no torso...so LO is all out front and seems really heavy!</p> <p>How did you manage to keep going without feeling like a wreck at the end of the day? </p>
