Is anyone else still feeling GOOD?

[JeanetteL]

I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm not really due till October or something Everyone seems so uncomfortable and miserable, and I'm feeling pretty darn good all things considered (better than with my first pregnancy, which is funny because the beginning/middle of this pregnancy was SO much harder). Of course I have back aches, uncomfortable BH, pee five million times a day and night....but I just don't feel all that bad...(knock wood - I know that could change on a dime).

Anyone else still feeling okay.....does this have any bearing on how much longer I have to wait?

I felt pretty good around this time with my first pregnancy. I think I was still cycling to work even.

Now I can't imagine working full time like I did then. My second pg has definitely been a lot harder on my body!

[cheeseRjedi]

well, i'm pretty uncomfortable but at least i have been sleeping better!

I feel pretty good and I'm 38 weeks. Besides not being able to bend and some aches and pains, I'm doing great!

[Selissa]

i felt fine until ihit 38 weeks, then i got a little ooky. then about 4 days ago (i'm 40 weeks 2 days) i just got totally yucked out..i feel awful and am sooo done. sigh

but hey that is awsome that youa re feeling great. i'm jealous and happy for you

I'm pretty good. There are times when I don't even feel pregnant, to be honest. For me it's a lot more difficult psychologically then physically at this point.

[ChiknGirl]

I feel great! No aches, no pains, just lots of enjoying feeling my baby grow. I am a wonderfully happy pregnant person.

Pelvic pain and feeling lumbersome, but other than that, I really can't complain (but do!)

I really can't complain (but do!)

Oh - I'm not saying I don't complain

That is all I have to say

While I do have some minor aches and discomforts, overall I feel pretty good. I look back on my first pregnancy when I was young, uninformed and just miserable and this one is 180 degrees from that.

While I am ready to not be pregnant and see/hold my new babe, I get miffed when people assume I must be miserable and ready to have the baby. No, I am ready to have the baby because I want to meet her not because I am dying.

I will admit when it was 90+ I was miserable but in all honesty, anytime its that hot I am miserable.

You and me both - it was 116 here last weekend. I'm just hibernating inside at this point! I hate summer in Arizona.

Where's the "Yeah that" sign?

I love being pg too- I feel wonderful overall!

[leosmama20]

Well, I am due tomorrow. It has really only been the past two days or so that I literally cannot bend anymore. It makes life exciting! Especially with a 4 year old. LOL

[IAmAMamaToLogan]

I'm feeling eerily great. lol At this point with the boys I was counting the days, hours, minutes until I was due. This time I'm so content to be pregnant. My pubic bone was aching like mad but the chiropractor fixed that right up.

Give me a couple more weeks though...I might change my mind about how good I feel. lol

At 36-37 weeks I was still feeling fine. Just in the last week or so though I have really started to struggle with pelvic pain that really makes walking around difficult. That's still my only real complaint..very little heartburn, not really having to get up at night to pee, pretty good energy. It's been an easy pregnancy up until last week. Now, I am ready any any anytime...really!

Get yourself to a chiropractor!! My pubic bone felt like I had been kicked a million times with a pair of steel toed boots until my adjustment on Monday. Now I feel amazing! There's slight tenderness if I sit down for too long or walk too far but the difference is crazy!

[CherryBomb]

I'm due on Sunday and I feel great, for the most part. My back hurts and so do my hips, but nothing major. I'm not tired of being pregnant, either. I'm not phased at all at going past my due date. Of course I'm eager to meet my new baby, though!

Oh man, you just mentioned my biggest pet peeve. I'm so fed up with people assuming that because I'm in the final weeks of pregnancy that I must be so fed up and tired of being pregnant. Sure, I'm as anxious as the next person to meet my baby, but it will come when it comes, and I trust my body to know when that time is.

On a mainstream due date club I'm on the "I'm tired of being pregnant" stuff has started ramping up. Many women there already started going somewhat nuts in June about trying to have their babies "be good" and come early (anytime after 34w seemed to work for many), now that July's hit they're all going ape trying to post eviction notices for their little tummy crawlers. I see a whole spate of inductions happening (and some are already trying to induce a couple of weeks ahead of their due date by eating foods that give them indigestion, and by using castor oil... on recommendation of their doctor no less) with all due consequences.
