| OK, so I'm almost 35 weeks... and I can't believe I still have more than 5 weeks to go (and it could be even more). I have had a great pregnancy - no morning sickness, no bad symptoms or anything. I'm just SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss sleeping on my stomach, not getting up to pee every 30 minutes, being able to paint my toenails, eating tuna, running... and I really want this baby to come out so I can see him. I really loved being pregnant through my 1st and 2nd trimesters, but I feel like I've been pregnant for 10 years at this point. Every day feels like a week, and every week feels like a month. When did everyone else reach this point of being SOOOO over it? |

Oh, OP. The end is bad, but i have to say, if you did not have morning sickness....well, I would encourage you to continue to complain anonymously on these boards. B/c if you take it publicly, many many pregnant women will not sympathize with not being able to paint toenails.
Don't get me wrong. It isn't your fault you weren't sick, and it is great you could enjoy 6 MONTHS OF LOVING BEING PREGNANT, but I suggest you thank your lucky stars on many many many levels. Don't even get the women started who have toddlers at home... Don't worry, five weeks will pass, and then you will not even remember you have toes, let alone toenails. |

| Yeah OP, you should not complain. I have been having every possible abdominal ailment since week 4 (I am now 13 weeks), can barely kiss my husband much less have sex because I am either too tired or too sick, everything that I eat ends up tasting like soap ... should I continue? You have it relatively easy. |

OH SHUT UP OP 
I'm one of the sick moms here and I'm only 21 weeks. I'm the OP for the PREGNANCY SUCKS thread of a few weeks ago... |

I think the op has every right to complain! Sure, I do envy her no-ms/6 months of loving it, but I can still sympathize with the rest of her pain--it isn't negated just because she had it easy at first!
I'm now 28 wks and have had my moments. Was really hating it last week when I was sick, could NOT get comfy sleeping, and had just started to feel large and cumbersome. Thankfully it was mostly emotional and I'm feeling somewhat better now, but I'll sure want all the support I can get when I'm 35 wks, enormous, and ready for it to be OVER! Hang in there op, ignore the jealousies, and just keep your eyes on the prize--meeting your baby! You will get there eventually! |

I'll bite since you asked...I have to counter 1552 
I love being pregnant. I'm healthy, little weight gain, no GD or Strep B, still exercise, already dilated 3 cm and am sad that it will come to an end soon. I have a 23 month old at home which makes me more tired than usual, but overall I love my pregnancy glow, my little basketball tummy, and parking in the Expectant Mom parking spots at shopping centers. |

Lucky you, but I have to take offense to just one little part of that. Don't you kinda feel like the expectant mom spots are for the preggo ladies that are really uncomfortable and having trouble getting around??? I'm 34 weeks, getting pretty uncomfortable, and have given up exercising and still don't feel right taking those spots. I'm hoping they are available to me in a couple more weeks when it really gets bad. If you can still exercise, I'm thinking you can park in a regular spot, no? OP, to answer your question, right about now (34 wks) is when I have really kinda gotten sick of all of this but at the same time, I don't feel the time dragging and to me it feels like it will be over in no time! |

I started feeling really uncomfortable around 34 weeks. Major lung and stomach compression, just couldn't get comfortable anywhere and all clothes felt uncomfortable. I feel your pain.
I didn't have true morning sickness either, but have felt pretty bad for other reasons (anemia, heartburn, reflux, insomnia, queasiness) for large portions of this pregnancy. I do feel for those with m/s, but not having it does not mean that a pregnancy is a breeze. |

20:24 I wouldn't say that my pregnancy has been a joy prior to 34 weeks, but it's definitely been downhill from there. I'm 38 now and every week feels like a year. I'm literally taking it day by day, hour by hour, and just hoping this baby comes on its own, soon.
I can't breathe, I can't lie down (not even on my left side) because it makes my heart race and I can't catch my breath, my feet inexplicably started swelling three days ago, and I'm really in the worst kind of misery. Baby can't come fast enough! |

11 weeks. I was sick EVERY single night from week 5 to week 15. By 11 I was just DONE. No one ever told me the "hurling hump" could go past 12 weeks. I got really excited. I started counting down to 12 weeks. And then it stuck around.
12 weeks 1 day, 12 weeks 2 days, 12 weeks 3 days... |

| 20:24 here. 00:39, what you describe is exactly what I am afraid I have facing me! I keep trying to focus on this being short term, but the short term is starting to seem longer the more uncomfortable I get. Sigh. |

| OP, I reached the point of feeling like the pregnancy was never going to end around the 8-month point. But then in the last few weeks, it became exciting again. The baby was moving a lot, there was a lot of stuff left to do to get ready (thanks to my procrastinating), and at some point you hit the "it could be any day now!" stage, which is very exciting. In another couple of weeks, you'll start packing your bag for the hospital, putting together the phone or email list of people to notify when the baby arrives, and so on. So, you may be feeling like it's never going to end, but it will end soon! |

| I had a very easy pregnancy, like the OP, until being put on bedrest due to preeclampsia concerns at 37wks. I was fine for the first few days, but by 38wks was officially over this. I'm now at almost 41wks and still waking up every morning saying "maybe today is the day". |

OP--
If you are 35 weeks, how can you have another 5 weeks or more, as you state? Also, you can eat tuna, just in moderation. My doctor told me maybe once a week or so is fine! As for the toenails, get a pedicure! That's another thing my doctor said is fine, as long as they don't massage too hard. As for going to the bathroom all the time--I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!! I know how you feel, and I'm only 23 weeks!! Good luck the rest of your pregnancy. I think you have every right to complain b/c we all have those moments. Thank goodness you and your baby are doing well though. |
