Does anyone feel great during the end?

I remember being miserable with my last two pregnancies starting at about 28 weeks. I am 21 weeks now and still feel great. I go to Zumba 3x a week and overall feel really good.

I am hoping that it stays this way but don't even know if it's possible to feel good towards the end?

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

34 weeks on my third and I am READY for this to be over. Past the honeymoon phase.

I felt great with Loey until like 36 weeks!

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

I can honestly say I felt great right till the end with both of my pregnancies. I think it's great that you're doing zumba because I think staying active and keeping your energy level up is key to feeling good. I am by no means an exerciser and I never have been. But with both pregnancies, I worked right up until I went into labor (and I was 4 days late with my first and 9 days late with my second!). I'm a music therapist in a special ed preschool, so it requires a LOT of energy during my sessions, plus I traveled to each classroom with a guitar on my back and any number of instruments in my hands, from giant gathering drums to bins of shakers. I basically never allowed myself to slow down at all and I think that's a big part of why I felt so great. So it is possible!

I felt great until 32 weeks this time around - then I fell down the stairs carrying.DS and I havent felt so great ever since.

I'm only 30w, but so far, so good! I'm just a little more tired than usual, but that's about it.

36 weeks with my 3rd. Any sort of great feeling left many weeks ago. I am huge, uncomfortable, tired, peeing all the time, not sleeping, out of breath going up stairs, heartburn like burning acid in my throat, dealing with high blood pressure and medication, GD, etc.

Hey, you asked! I am ready.

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

I felt great up until about 36-37 weeks. Then I started to feel like cr@p

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

I felt great Diana till I hit 30 weeks, then I couldn't wait for her to come out, got VERY uncomfortable!! All 3 of my pregnancies were like this!

I didn't work out when I was pregnant so that might help you to feel better!!

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

Feeling great at 34 1/2 weeks with my second. I have a very physical job and think it totally helps.

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

I felt great with my first PG. I was put on 'modified' bedrest at 34 weeks, but I still felt great. They just didn't want me going into early labor with all the complications I had. They wanted me close tot he hospital at all times. I remember walking through Home Depot in my last month, very slowly, but I did it. We also moved into our house the night before I had DS and everybody kept telling me to sit down. You can do it!

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

I have to admit that aside from being exhausted, I feel pretty good for 34 weeks. If I had the time to nap once in a while I'd probably feel great...but that is impossible when you have kids already to take care of!

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

With this PG I felt great until about 37.5 weeks. I started getting aches and pains in my lower body about that time. I've had a lot of stretching pains. Even with that, I don't feel too bad.

I have been doing yoga throughout this PG- 1 hour/5x's a week when I wake up.

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

With my first pregnancy, I felt great right up to the end...I walked a few miles a day, and did yoga a few times a week, and kept it up until the night before I gave birth. Hoping for the same thing this time around.

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

at 32 weeks today i feel great. I have a very busy job working 50 hours a week so dont really have time to think about anything else.

My DH is great too and helps a lot around the house so i get to relax when i am not working. I hope it keeps up another 8 weeks!!

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

Feeling pretty good once morning queasiness goes away if I exercise during the day,is dry out and I get enough food in at dinner

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

I felt great until about 30 weeks. I'm 34w now and really feeling the extra weight

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

With DS i felt great the entire time.. Now having to chase after a 21 month old i've been done at 30 weeks..

Re: Does anyone feel great during the end?

<I can't respond to this thread bc I will jinx myself.>

Currently 31 weeks.....that's all I'll say.
