Third trimester misery vent

[Anonymous]

Laying down causes heartburn. Sitting hurts because of my giant hemorrhoid. Standing hurts my feet and back. I'm exhausted all of the time, but I can't sleep.

I'm 33 weeks pregnant, so I know this kid needs to cook longer, but I'M SO OVER THIS.

walking? I am 22 weeks and I find walking easier than standing or sitting.

I’m 25 weeks with my 3rd and dreading the end. No offense to pregnancy but it’s the worst ?
Get one of those donut cushions now to sit on for your hemmroid, and also bring it to the hospital with you and use it as you spend the first 2 days constantly trying to nurse in that hospital bed!!
Hang in there!

37 weeks and I can’t sit bc the baby is too big and it hurts my ab muscles — I feel your pain!

Oh man. I'm only at 29.5 weeks and am getting really uncomfortable. Hemorrhoids, back pain, and terrible sleep!

33 weeks. I fell down the stairs (thankfully baby is okay and that is what matters) but the bruising on my tailbone and back are killing me especially since the baby is pushing on the bruises.

PP here. Also some friend of my DH (who I'm not even close to and isn't even a best friend) asked DH if he could be in the delivery room when the baby was born. Obviously DH said no, but who asks that stuff?

38 weeks with #3. Saw my OB today and he was all, let's schedule your appts for weeks 39 and 40. I just stared at him and was like, I am not going to still be pregnant in 2 weeks. Have basically stopped eating dinner b/c there's no room by the end of the day, or wearing any shoes other than sneakers. Currently propping up my swollen ankles.

On the plus side, I vividly remember how much better I *immediately* felt after delivering my first two and I am so looking forward to that. Hang in there ladies.

36 weeks, #2. I had heartburn WAKE ME UP last night over 10 hours after I had eaten. Ugh.

Also, kind of a sick joke how pregnancy hormones make me clumsy and forgetful at a time when I'm feeling the sting of every double-backed step to retrieve a forgotten item and item picked up from the floor.

Not even in my third trimester and already hating life. 21 weeks and I am still puking most mornings. This is #2 so I know it’s only getting worse from here even if the nausea goes away. I swear with my first I had at least a few weeks of happy second trimester pregnancy glow but no such luck this time around. Sigh.

I always say the last month is so awful so that you won't care how that baby comes out, or how much it hurts.

Only 28 weeks with #2, so exhausted but can't sleep, and knowing how much worse it's going to get is just utterly demoralizing. Heartburn kicked in much earlier this time, and I already feel huge. I remember being at 35 weeks last time and thinking there was no way I could survive another 5 weeks... and it turned out to be another 6. While in many cases I think the second pregnancy is easier because it's not all new, knowing how fast it's all downhill from here sucks

39 weeks. I lay down and have contractions that keep me awake. I sit up and of course, cannot sleep sitting up. But the contractions go away.
