Is anyone else actually feeling better instead of worse?

I was absolutely miserable 2 weeks ago -- my tailbone pain was excruciating, I was crying over everything, moping around the house, being cranky all the time, etc., and figured that's the way it was going to stay until I delivered, but I actually feel better as time goes on! I have more energy, my mood has improved, I'm not so emotional, my back feels waaaay better, etc. -- anyone else experiencing this? Maybe it's just that the end is in sight now, and I know that this isn't a permanent condition. But it's great to have this burst of energy, enthusiasm, and pain improvement!

Ditto everything you said. I was just holding it all together for the last 6 weeks--after the car accident it took three weeks to recover where I could walk without some sort of pain, and then I got sick with head/chest cold for two weeks and was basically bitchy most of the time. Now that we are done getting ready for baby, the birth tub is here and all the important events are out of the way, I feel like I can finally relax and it's showing in my physical state. Sleeping sucks, but otherwise I feel good. No specific, annoying pains anywhere. Except for a few uncomfortable contractions, I am content.

Now, if I go over my due date, I reserve the right to get cranky again. LOL

I felt miserable through nearly my entire pregnancy until just recently. Now I'm feeling pretty darn good, I have energy, I feel strong and alive, and I can actually sleep for the first time in months! Almost makes me want to stay pregnant just a while longer... almost.

I wake up every morning feeling great. And as the day goes on, I get more and more tired, achy, crampy, tired, heartbury, tired and crampy. And then I get a good nights sleep and feel great all over again. Maybe I just need to get like a 6 hr nap in the middle of the day? LOL

I am suddenly feeling great too! Is this an impending sign of labor??

Not in your DDC, but thank you for giving me hope!

YUP!
I noticed when the baby dropped, I started having LESS pelvic pain then before, especially at night. Couple that with less heartburn. WHEW! I feel so damn good now.

I started feeling better yesterday. It was crazy Sunday and Monday's moods were night and day. Just this Sunday I was so crabby and Dh and I were at each others throats. I couldn't stand him. I couldn't stand myself. This had been going on for weeks... then Yesterday I woke up and it was like I was a new person. I don't think my sleep is getting any better.

I hope this is a sign that labor will be starting soon. Although I'm starting to feel that all I'll be having for the rest of my life is false labor and rolling over in bed is going to continue to get harder and harder.

Sigh...well, that was nice while it lasted.

A major funk just came over me -- absolutely nothing happened to set it off, but I'm sitting here near tears because I have to go to the bathroom but getting up to do it just feels like too much effort.
