Feeling very pregnant...TMI

I don't know how else to describe it. I'm 33w now and it's like suddenly the wheels are just falling off. I've had a few bouts of feeling uncomfortable leading up to now but they always subsided and they weren't this bad. Now in the last four days my feet and ankles started swelling. I think even my calves are swollen actually. I've been exercising all throughout the pregnancy and, without really thinking about the consequences, I did a leg routine on Saturday and now today I can barely walk and I think it made the swelling worse. My belly is big and in my way now. People keep telling me I'm soooo small and I want to scream because it definitely doesn't feel that way. I also discovered this weekend that I have a hemorrhoid. Thank God I have off from work today otherwise I don't know what I would have done. WTF.

Oh, and I haven't had my shower yet. It is not until 3/2. I think they are going to have to wheel me into the place on a gurney with the way I feel right now!!!

OK, Vent Over.

ETA: Aaaaaand, as if it couldn't get any worse, my maternity coat fell off the chair and my puppy peed on it!!!!

I know how you feel. I am 36 weeks but at 34 wks everything started to fall apart haha. I am so big now and achy. My legs hurt and the pain won't go away and it seems worse when I lay down at night which is odd. There was a post recently about 2 weeks about people in their 33-34 week feeling like crap. I think our bodies are just in overload and its so close to the end but not quite ready. This is #2 for and I don't remember feeling like this with dd but it as almost 3 yrs ago you tend to forget the bad parts haha

I went through this at exactly 33 weeks too - actually I notice that a lot of people have said similar things about that time. I will tell you for me - that major discomfort subsided and at 35 weeks I am back to feeling like I can handle what I'm feeling.
