This is not fun. I try to walk at night to help ease the pressure and just to get some exercise. Also, need to get new pillows to help I think, mine are too flat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surviving-the-third-tri#post-240540 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 09:13:30 +0000 Mrsbells 240540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to get on my hands and knees a lot when I was home, and arch my back that helped with the achy-ness and took the pressure off my hips because LO was so low i felt pain with every step. taking long walks also helped funnily enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surviving-the-third-tri#post-240538 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 09:11:56 +0000 MsLipGloss 240538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PasteMoo: Exactly! One day at a time. I am 34.5 weeks, and just take each day as it comes. I am tired, sore, there is pressure in my pelvis, and I am just so, so uncomfortable all the time. I do what I can to try to rest and put my feet up, but even when I am doing that I am not necessarily comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surviving-the-third-tri#post-240427 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 07:16:34 +0000 purrpletulips 240427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am there with you, currently 33w and wish it was over. Don't recall being this way with DD but then I wasn't chasing a 2yo around then either. I've been trying to rest as much as possible and keep hydrated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surviving-the-third-tri#post-240286 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 20:48:00 +0000 pastemoo 240286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>one day at a time. And keep busy. Also keep walking/exercising; your body will thank you later.<br /> Get a hand massage with your mani/pedi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surviving-the-third-tri#post-240255 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 20:24:50 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 240255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly felt great in my third trimester, especially at the very end. One thing that helped was walking often and getting massages. They made me feel like a new woman! I also always sat on my bouncy ball, even at the dinner table! It really took the pressure off of all the sore places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surviving-the-third-tri#post-240220 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:42:29 +0000 lovehoneybee 240220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take it easy....try to relax with your feet up whenever possible. Warm baths are nice, too, especially just before bed. </p> <p>I also try to do something to pamper myself once a week...a pedicure, a new book, a haircut...something just for me. </p> <p>@lydg:/@artbee: I would LOVE to be in a pool right now. I love how weightless even the bathtub makes me feel, I can't imagine how wonderful a nice cool pool would feel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surviving-the-third-tri#post-240213 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:36:32 +0000 matador84 240213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, @artbee and massages...how could i forget! I had one this past week and even though she did deep tissue so I was a little sore the next day, I felt a LOT of tension gone. After my next dr appt next week, I am going to see if I can get another around 37 weeks and one more before I go into labor!! Supposedly they help with labor anyway...um...getting one sure can't hurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surviving-the-third-tri#post-240212 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:34:08 +0000 heffalump 240212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the pool. It made me feel sooooo good! That and massages. Also I think it helped to just think about why I was so uncomfortable. It was for a good reason, and I wanted my lo to stay in till her due date to fully cook so I wanted to stay uncomfortable, knowing in the end I would get a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surviving-the-third-tri#post-240206 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:24:51 +0000 matador84 240206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 35 weeks, and it started getting bad about where you are. I just get in the pool a lot, keep my feet up, and take it easy. No sleep at night, and try and catch a short nap when I can. Hard to see the end in sight, but it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surviving-the-third-tri#post-240204 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:23:12 +0000 Beyond2 240204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did you handle the third trimester? I'm 33weeks and so uncomfortable :-( </p>
