I'm almost 32 weeks pregnant and I really feel like this week I started to become more noticeably hindered by my body. I feel easily tired and just can't seem to accomplish much anymore unless I work very slowly with breaks. I feel like this happened later last time but maune thats just because i didn't have a toddler. 'm not complaining just more curious if this is a common time to slow down.
-
Not until about 38 weeks with LO1, but more like 34 with LO2. Chasing after a toddler is draining!
-
I was still walking a lot, up hills etc. until around 37 weeks. Then I just got too tired.
-
37 weeks for me. I was doing the same stuff but suddenly realised it was taking me loads longer! I've also had a bit of high bp and so made an active decision to slow down.
-
With my oldest, because he was breech I didn't have that pressure feeling down there so pretty much was all over the place the day before my section was scheduled. With my second, I'd have to say during the last 1.5 months. It was so painful down there to walk sometimes so I moved quite slowly then... And with a toddler... didn't know how I did it, honestly!
-
Um, already. First it was the discs in my back that would get aggravated from too much walking. Now they aren't bothering me, but I'm 24 weeks and just poop out early. I seemed to have missed out entirely on the magical second trimester this time arou d
-
Haha, I think you need a 20-24! I feel like I'm already starting to slow down a little at 20 weeks!
-
I never slowed down. However I never carried past 37 weeks.
-
Really close to the end - 38, 39 weeks. I have a feeling this one is going to be waaaaaaay earlier.
-
Yes, around 30-32 weeks for me too! This is when lying down even became a struggle for me.
-
Last pregnancy, first tri was the worst because of the insane constant nausea. I felt pretty great up till the end in comparison. I could hardly get out of bed first tri---3rd tri I was working out 3-4 times a week and just getting a lot more done. But my hips did hurt a lot at night in the 3rd tri--I had to buy a plush memory foam mattress topper.
Nausea is awful this time, too...so it will probably be the same.
-
I ran through my 34th week. I had definitely slowed down the pace, but I distinctly remember the last run feeling awesome. And then I completely was "done." I walked with our dogs 2-3 miles a day up until the day before I went into labor, though. That's me, though-I have a hard time sitting still and it helped my nervous energy pre-baby to keep moving!
-
Last time I kind of took things a little easier but I wouldn't say I ever really slowed down. This time I hit a WALL at 30 weeks. Totally different with a toddler!
-
I worked out up until delivery. So, I guess 36 weeks?
-
Can't really say when it'll happen, but at 11 weeks I'm just looking forward to getting some energy back! I've been dragging all the time for weeks, and sleeping 12+ hours at night. I agreed to go to the gym (JUST to walk) with DH later, and I'm really wishing I hadn't!
-
@MrsMccarthy: I've just hit 30 weeks and I'm doing ok aside from the heat! I'm still having a short nap with Miss A in the afternoon which I think is helping! We try to get all our errands and activities done in the morning so we can just chill out after lunch.
-
First time around I never really noticed. This time I feel like I hit a wall this last week, so 33 weeks. Everything is draining.
-
Around 37 or 38 weeks with my first, but I also suspect it'll happen much sooner this time...
-
With my first, I was good until the end, just was so over being pregnant. With #2, probably around 37 weeks. I was in pain, huge and chasing a 14 month old around. By the time I had her at 39 weeks I was saying I was never getting pregnant again and ready to have DH got the ol snipperoo haha but now I wouldn't mind a 3rd
-
@78h2o: Agreed! Maybe it's because I'm sick, but I really hit a wall this last week at 22 weeks. The next 18 weeks could be rough
-
I never did!! Actually, that's not technically true - I had sciatica from 6wks - 25 weeks, getting gradually worse each week - but then something pinged in my hip (!) and I felt great right up until the end!
-
I was great up until the end, was sort of hoping that he would wait until 41 weeks. Ended up with water breaking at 40+1.
-
Only at the very end.
-
@SeptMomma12: yeah, I have a cold and continued "morning" sickness, so maybe that's why I feel like I'm dragging. Hopefully we'll feel better and get some energy back...at least until the third tri!
-
@78h2o: haha totally! I know it can happen sooner but I feel like it comes in waves. Now if lay down I feel like a bug on my back! Getting up and bending down are next to impossible!
-
32 weeks on the dot. I remember the the day before we took a day trip up to the white mountains to see the fall foliage. We did tons of walking and spend the entire day driving in a huge loop around the mountains. The next day I woke up with pubic symphisus dysfunction and from then on it was hard to walk or stand on one foot (like to go up stairs, or shave my legs). By 36/37 weeks I felt like I was trying to walk through water to get anywhere.
