Don't get me wrong, I am so happy that I am having a healthy pregnancy but, at almost 36 weeks, I am getting over it. After very little activity, my hips/pelvis hurt so bad they radiate this cramping pain. Everything exhausts me. I can't sleep at night from the hip pain and all the peeing. I feel like my body is being pulled apart from all the baby stretching... I wish he could burrow in a bit further or something.
Venting aside, when were you OVER it?

I think I was over it around the same time you are. The last month was hard for sure! I was tired, sore, and I swelled up like a balloon in my legs, feet and hands.
-
Right away? Heh.
-
Around the same time. All of our McK nephews came early, and I was secretly hoping E would too, just because I was SO miserable!
-
The last week was the worst. I had fairly easy pregnancies despite the usual aches and pains. By 39 weeks I was ready to call it quits, though with my second I really wanted more time, not time pregnant, just more time before the baby arrived if that makes sense.
-
Right from the start. Pregnancy and I are not friends.
-
The entire first trimester. After that I actually never was "over it". I assumed that I would have her late, since they say first babies always are and my nephew was ten days late. I went into labor two days before my due date and was actually surprised. I had some uncomfortable weeks at the start of the third trimester, with sciatic nerve pain and swelling, but then I actually felt pretty good and not too uncomfortable.
Who knows how I will feel with the second, while chasing a toddler!
-
30 weeks on when I started getting big. This time, the pressure and pelvic pain was enough for me to stop work early.
-
Ugh about 7 weeks which is terrible because we've tried so hard to get here. But this pregnancy has already been harder- I don't know if because I'm 3 years older or because I have a 2 year old that keeps me from napping and laying around wallowing in my nausea. Also last time I was off of work the whole first trimester.
Last pregnancy was also not the best- sick until 20 weeks then terrible acid reflux til the end.
I was DEFINITELY over it by 37 weeks.
-
Was over it by 38+4 with my first pregnancy. Turns out I was feeling kind of awful because I was going into labor though. I am guessing I will deliver at 42 weeks for even having that experience the first time around.
-
About 38 weeks I started wishing for death.
-
I'm 38 weeks today and childbirth is starting to not look so bad compared to more pregnancy. By next week I'm sure I'll be over it. I didn't really get there with LO1 (40w2d).
-
Honestly, I was miserable my entire pregnancy. Miserable. Me and pregnancy don't mix.
-
I was fine until my due date - feared that I'd be induced. But I felt well and kept working up through and including the day I went into labor.
-
Around 37 weeks when she was still spinning all around and hanging out transverse. Owwie.
-
1st pregnancy - 1st trimester
2nd pregnancy - never -
I was never over it for DD1. Felt over it several times in the first trimester for this pregnancy, but now at 18 weeks, I'm doing well again!
-
Probably right around 36 weeks. I'm 39+3 right now and beyond over it!!!
-
Very early. I'm a pretty bad pregnant lady.
-
With DS I was never really over it, I loved being pregnant and I felt really good the whole time.
This time I've been over it pretty much the entire time, from the nausea and everlasting cold, and now like you the pain and poor sleep... I really can't wait to get this kid out!! I feel like I did OK from week 30-34 or so but at this point I've had enough!!
-
@QBbride: Yes! I felt fine and then I hit a wall in the last week or so. Baby boy is currently banging on my cervix somehow (is that even physically possible? )
-
I hate pregnancy, and am very ill when pregnant, so over it from the start, but I was sooooo done when I went overdue with my first. Like, "don't talk to me or I'll bite your head off" done. I felt that way earlier with my second, and hit a wall at 32 weeks. The last few weeks kind of feel like FOREVER, but I promise, it will pass, mama. Hang in there!
-
@simplyfelicity: he's probably knocking on the exit
-
@QBbride: Haha, it freaking hurts! I would like to take it as a sign that he won't be overdue but I can't be that lucky.
@erinpye: Thanks!
-
34 weeks, and I'm so over it. I know I'll be taking care of a newborn 24/7, but I'm counting the days until I don't have to see my coworkers and clients.
-
Um, I'm 37 weeks today and I'm way over it.
-
I'm okay right now...but I can tell that I'm going to hit my breaking point way earlier than last time. I think I was okay until 39 weeks or so last time. This time? I'm past 32 weeks and just cannot wait to have this baby here in my arms!
-
@simplyfelicity: I feel like this pregnancy has been so fast.. except for the last week or so.. and I'm struggling ..feeling pretty useless and ugly
so at least you have friends in your boat
-
I was def over it probably starting 35 weeks!
-
@Mrs. Pickles: I am right there with ya and it's so good to not feel alone.
-
Like you, I am so grateful to be pregnant and having a healthy, somewhat normal pregnancy. But I think I got to that point last night! lol I was up 3 times to pee, and when I was in bed, my hips were aching and I was just so uncomfortable. My belly is at that stage where it's gotten so big I feel like it's a separate part of me. Like, when I turn from one side to the other I just feel like it's this thing I have to pick up and take along with me, you know? And now my knees are starting to ache...so...yeah!
ETA I'm 33 weeks.
-
36 weeks for sure. I was DONE. It wasn't painful, I was just tired of being pregnant.
-
I'm 33 weeks and surprisingly not hating it. I keep waiting for the absolute suck to hit me, and so far I'm ok. Fingers crossed that it goes on like this for a bit more.
-
My first - I wasn't over it until my due date. The day after my due date I was almost in tears but up to that point I was completely fine
My second - around 30 weeks. I think I was over it sooner for a lot of reasons but a big one was definitely having to care for a toddler
-
Around 6 weeks when I started to get sick. The second trimester was never that feel great time for me. It was the best, for sure, but I still felt big and very tired. The third trimester was just a joke. I had gained 40lbs by the end and it was so incredibly uncomfortable!
-
39 weeks. I remember telling DH at dinner that I was over it. I told him I didn't care if he wanted to or not, we were having sex every night till she came and were going to try everything else. Luckily my water broke two hours later.
I was DEFINITELY over it by 37 weeks.
