Ugh, I am SO uncomfortable... venting

I am so miserable. With a little more than 4 weeks to go-- I am starting to get really uncomfortable. I have been lucky pretty much the whole pregnancy, with carrying small, I have avoided a lot of the typical woes of a pregnant woman. But now, I guess it's catching up to me!

Since yesterday morning, I have had a stomach ache and extreme exhaustion. I don't know if I am sick, or if I just ate something bad. Either way, I was hoping today I would feel better and I don't. I also feel a little naus

My back and neck are also KILLING me. I have had back pain since week 10-- but, I am not getting ANY relief with anything I do-- changing positions, heating pads, massages from DH-- nothing is working!! I am so uncomfortable, I can't get in a good position to sleep.

Then, it's the freaking breathing and congestion-- I am feeling like it's hard to breathe again. This is just amplifying all of my other ailments-- and makes it harder to lay down and rest.

I never thought I would be one of those girls who would feel totally DONE with pregnancy-- but if I have to put up with all of this for the next few weeks, I will be!!!

I just want to feel better soon. I need to go out and get stuff done!

You are almost there! Hang in there!!! What about treating yourself to a pre-natal massage??

Re: Ugh, I am SO uncomfortable... venting

Treat yourself to a good mani/pedi and a pre natal massage !! Is it going to magically cure you, of course not - but it will make you feel better for a little while !!

Feel better!!!

Re: Ugh, I am SO uncomfortable... venting

I hear ya sister. I can't do anything to get myself comfortable. I think I'm a couple weeks behind you. Sleeping has been a lost cause since the 2nd Trimester but even sitting at the computer, on the couch watching TV...it's awful.

And the breathing is the worst. I almost can't wait for him to drop so he gets out of my diaphragm. But I know dropping brings a whole nother set of issues. Hang in there!!!

Look at this way...the worse you feel, the closer you are!!!

Re: Ugh, I am SO uncomfortable... venting

I know how you feel. I had a really good pregnancy as well and all of the sudden around 36/37 weeks I had had it... My blood pressure and swelling became extreme issues and the heartburn and acid reflux got even worse.

I was wanting to go back to work after this holiday break and was upset that my Dr told me no... Now I am soooooo glad I dont have to deal with that!!! The thought of "work" a week from now is just absurd to me!

Re: Ugh, I am SO uncomfortable... venting

I remember how uncomfortable the last month can be. You're almost there!

Re: Ugh, I am SO uncomfortable... venting

I'm sorry! I know how you feel! The end will be here before you know it!!!

THe baby seems to be moving ALLLLL the time... Last night she was MOVING MY RIBS It FREAKIN HURT!!!!
