how much bigger did you get from the start of 3rd trimester till the end?

so far this pregnancy has been easy and pleasant, but yesterday was the first night i started complaining (and i dont like to complain )

my belly feels so big and tight. there is just no room to get bigger! i know its how it works, and things will stretch, but i am just curious....how much bigger did you get?

i feel like pulling on my muscles near the rib cage outward. ugh. there is a bowling ball in my belly.

in the morning, im okay, but my mid-day by mid-back is killing me and by night time i am just soooo uncomfortable.

any advice?

any feedback on what to expect the next few months?

thank you!!!

pretty significantly bigger, i think. look at my weekly pics in album and see for yourself. it's been awhile so the memories of daily aches and pains have somewhat faded, lol.

Yeah the last 10 weeks of pregnancy can be hard on your body. I found with both pregnancies after 35 weeks I'm just uncomfortable 80% of the time. You back hurts, pressure from baby, lots of BH. Yes your belly will grow a lot.
I know this is not true for everyone since I have a friend that pretty much felt fine the whole pregnancy.

Just rest a lot when you can. Put your feet up, try to excersize a little if you can like yoga or a walk.
These weeks are going to go by so fast.

I feel like from 33 weeks on I got gigantic. The last 6 weeks of my pregnancy I was so uncomfortable, I barely got off the couch.

I got big very early so I leveled off the 3rd tri...but I was in severe pain for most of the 3rd tri.

Everyone is different. Some people don't grow much at the end, and some grow a lot then! Every body is different. For me, I barely showed until my 3rd tri, so I got much bigger then, but never really got "huge".

SO MUCH BIGGER. Sorry mama, but it's true. I just kept getting bigger and more uncomfortable. But the end is in sight! Hang in there! Epsom salt baths really helped alleviate some of the soreness and discomfort.
