your baby's birth??? I've been feeling bloated, disgusting, sore, and my back is still effed up... Did you guys have a crap stage right before the big event or were you fine and it just happened?? I sure hope he's on his way out. :pray I've been hobbling around for 3 days now like a total cripple... :(

I felt like crap with both of them when it got close to having them.

I felt that way also!!

I felt terrible also...

Totally terrible!

nope, i actually felt pretty energized and "nested" a ton.

your time will be soon girl :hugs

So now I have a headache and I'm so incredibly nauseas... I'm getting kinda worried... If some of this doesn't let up by tomorrow I'll prob call a nurse and see what she suggests... I haven't even felt this bad this whole pregnancy and Idk what it means, but it needs to go and fast... And I feel bad b/c Noah's just moving away in there and the more he moves the more I wanna :pukey.

i felt like i'd swallowed a beach ball and been run over by a mack truck. :hystericlaugh plus, with oldest DD i had too much amniotic fluid, gestational diabetes the last 6 weeks, AND she was measuring 3 weeks past due a week before i had her :hairout youngest DD wasn't as bad, but i swore she she had broken my tailbone and a few ribs before she even came out

With both of the kids I was tired of being pregnant by the end, cranky, uncomfortable, could not sleep well at night.

With Darian I managed to cause a stress fracture on my foot that I had broken BUT no one would xray it because I was pregnant. I was in MASSIVE pain the last two weeks when I walked anywhere.

With Jacob I had false labor a few times, my Mom would not let me drive anywhere and I felt trapped in my house.

it just depends. Somedays I feel awesome and energized and nesting A LOT!!! Other days...especially at night I feel so bloated because of all the water I retained and exhausted I could just sleep for days(if only I could sleep again :lol) The worst now is the bloating and the sianic nerve pain..other than that it's not bad but I know he's ready to come out. :)

I was on bedrest from 33 weeks until about 37 weeks. That last week was absolutely horrible. I was in the very early stages of labor that entire weekend, and I had a doctor's appointment that Monday, and she checked my cervix.
Well, my contractions really kicked into high gear then, and were off and on until about 10 PM that night. I finally had to get up and go to the hospital around 3 AM the next morning, because I wasn't able to sleep through the contractions anymore.


The last month of my pregnancy, I was really tired (but could never get comfortable enough to get a good sleep...either that, or I had to pee), extremely cranky, and my back and hips hurt like a mother. And I was generally a whole lot hotter than anyone else.
