Anyone else in their 3rd trimester suddenly feel really huge?

For awhile, I was all belly and actually felt pretty good. Lately I feel like an oompa loompa (it doesn't help that I'm only 5'1")! Even my maternity clothes are getting tight on me. I've only gained about 14 pounds so far but I feel like I've gained a lot more than that. The shortness of breath thing is getting really bad and I literally have to roll myself out of bed in the morning. When I asked my doctor what I could do to relieve the discomfort, he said, "Give birth!" Oh well - 8 and a half weeks to go!

I am only in my 6th month and I gained 16 pounds!!!!

I already feel like an oompa loompa - I couldnt deal with any more of this weight, but I know its inevitable!!!

I am due on Sunday and I feel like a big fat tick! I also think I won't be having this baby until around Christmas time so I am feeling really huge.

i feel very fat, and not pregnant fat. i've been eating every piece of junk food i can find. breakfast involves 16oz of chocolate milk everyday. i wouldn't mind if i knew it was all in my belly, but my legs are jiggling left and right.
