Do you feel so pregnant?

[GreenMommy]

All of the sudden I feel so pregnant. My belly is big, back hurts...

Also I am so at peace at where I am in the pregnancy (28 weeks). Usually I want it to hurry along but now (probably beacuse I have so much to do) I feel relaxed.

Yep. My kids laugh at me because every move I make is now accompanied by a sound effect: uh, mmm, ehhhhh, ug, dammit!, etc...

My hips hurt most of all, especially when I "sleep".

God forbid I have to take a poop. Then the baby is all crowded and every move is exagerrated! :LOL

Yes, I feel huge, slow, and I think I am getting that pg waddle now. And I, too, am glad I am right where I am. I am nowhere near ready to have this baby now! I can use that 10 or so more weeks!

For the past couple weeks, I've felt like my belly is leading me around, not the other way around! And I also grunt every time I move, lol. Tonight, I feel especially pregnant, because we went to a buffet, and I ate waaaaay too much. Eating for two? No, eating for three! :eek

Oh yeah, I feel SO PREGNANT. I'm big, I waddle, my belly leads mearound. Sound effects? Yup, got those too :) No doubt about me, I'm definately with child ;)

Maybe I'm an early waddler or something :LOL I've been waddling for at least a few weeks already. I think it was right around when I hit 20 weeks that I definately started to feel pregnant, but now, I'm too doing the moaning and groaning trying to carry my 15 1/2 month old up the stairs (he knows how to go up himself, but many times he'd rather slide back down :shake ), and even with some of the little things too, and I just don't seem to be able to fit through tight spaces like before :p

I can't move anymore. I think this little girl has decided to turn breech and I am 100% UNCOMFORTABLE! I am also huge! I have gained only about 8-10 pounds(but lost 10 lbs early on) and I look enormous! I am measuring 4cm over, so maybe that contributes to it. I swear I look ready to deliver. I was very peaceful about the stage I am at till tonight when I am having insomnia:(

[hottmama]

I still barely feel pregnant, and I'll be 30 weeks on Monday! I've gained 35 lbs. but aside from pelvic and back pain when I stand up for too long I feel great. I was still biking to school until my bike got stolen yesterday (%&^($!)

My son carried really high and at this point with him, I had bruised ribs, heartburn, and could barely breathe. This one is low and MUCH easier.

[MamaTaraX]

30 weeks!? Good gosh...time flies!!

And hey,I waddle too! Did I forget to mention that because I certainly do :) And I have, for a couple of months almost... *quack quack*

I'm right there with you...waddling, grunting and groaning and the other day my husband had to put my socks on for me. I couldn't bring myself to do it. Sometimes I'll wake up in the night and lie in bed for 10 minutes psyching myself up to attempt the roll out of bed and the walk to the toilet.

Can I just not work anymore please?

[dogmama]

I'm with you all- with the addition that when I get up after sitting for a while it takes my joints a while to get going. So I limp slowly until I get loose. Feel like a locomotive starting uphill.
Peace,
Mary

Dogmama, I know what you mean! Dh and I take grandma on errands on the weekends, and we have begun to look alike! She and I both struggle to get up from our recliners, and we both hobble along in the grocery store. (I used to sprint by her finding things she had forgotten, etc.) So, if anyone sees a preggo woman and an 88 year-old woman keeping pace with each other-- that's us!

[beachcomber]

Yeah. I'm feeling really pregnant these days. My S-I joint acts up if I do anything so I'm really struggling with that. Having to ask for things to be handed to me, carried for me and so on. It's a big change from the independence I'm used to. I so totally have the pregnant waddle thanks to the S-I problems. Today as I very slowly ambled from one side of campus to the other, I felt like a land whale. Heh. Lately when people ask me how I'm feeling, I just say, "Pregnant!" and laugh.

Hottmama, sorry to hear about the bike theft! That sucks.

[Persephone]

Oh yeah, people doing things for me too... my husband deserves MAJOR bonus points for helping me clip my toenails. (My feet aren't icky or anything, but that's major love, right there. :))
