When did you....

REALLY start to feel the effects of being pregnant?

I know that you feel bloating, sore boobs, and the upset tummy in the beginning, but when did you really start to feel like being pregnant was affecting your daily life?

For me, I just hit 7 months and I am really feeling big, slowing down, harder to breathe, baby is in my ribs....

Just wondering if this is around when other ladies felt the effects!

Re: When did you....

For me, I'm almost 7 months and it hasnt hit me yet...I still feel pretty good, although I'm upset I can't shave my privates that well...but I'm slowly getting over it!

Re: When did you....

I would say during this month...my 6th month...this is when I started showing and wearing maternity clothes frequently and the aches and pains and swollen ankles kicked in.

Re: When did you....

Just about a week ago or so. My boobs are really starting to feel really heavy and are achy and burn. I feel huge too! My feet are swollen beyond recognition!

I think the heat has something to do with it!

Re: When did you....

About a week ago - I am 8 months and it's just started to hit, with the humidity and the belly getting bigger...up till now it's been pretty good!

Re: When did you....

I'm 25 1/2 weeks and I am feeling it now. I feel so slow, bloated, swollen, large and my sore BBs have never gone away since I got my BFP

It's all worth it in the end though!

Re: When did you....

I definitely know that this is all well worth it!

Especially as I sit here and my little poppy is rolling around in my tummy, making waves on the surface of my stomach that I can see!

I think that is my favorite part!!!

Re: When did you....

Well, I may change my mind when I hit the 3rd trimester, but I think I started to feel it around week 8. That's when the nausea really hit, I got very bloated, and the exhaustion was very bad. I really couldn't do much most days except go to work (and fall asleep in meetings more often than I'd like).

I guess that's when I would say I felt the pregnancy was affecting my life.

I'm almost 21 weeks and I feel great! Other than my ginormo-boobs and my pooch stomach, I feel pretty normal. I'm still stomach-sleeping, which was my big fear when I got preggo.

I'm 7 months and I feel pretty good generally (anything is better than the ms in the first tri). But I did feel it when I was running to make a connection while flying earlier in the week -- I think the airport was about 3 miles long and I had to run (well . . .. fast walk) from one end to the other -- it took me about 20 minutes and I was sweating and totally out of breath by the end -- but I made the plane. I was so looking for one of those golf carts the whole time!
