What does being heavily pregnant feel like?

Question

I’ve had 2 miscarriages so I haven’t had the chance to feel what it would feel like if I were to be 8-9 months pregnant. Does it feel like any of your organs are being shifted? How heavy does the front of your body feel? Can you feel any part of you being stretched? Please let me know in the comments below!

Answer

I’m 9 months pregnant today, and boy it’s tough I can’t even lie. It doesn’t feel like my organs are out of place just because I don’t normally feel them anyways, but I can ABSOLUTELY feel every centimeter this baby is taking up. Bending over hurts right under the ribs in the middle because all the weight inside. When I walk I feel too heavy for my own feet to hold, but it’s pretty well distributed since the center of gravity changes, I kinda walk leaning back more so now. But if I stand straight up my belly feels like a bag of bricks. I sometimes pick it up to help take the weight off! My feet look like hunks of meat from extreme swelling, that I can feel all the way into my thighs. -and my hands too! Turning over in bed at night requires a lifting session to throw this sac of baby from one side to the other, and also feels like I did an intense ab workout, which from getting in and out of bed every hour to pee is probably doing that. I don’t feel my skin stretch but it feels hard as a rock. Sometimes it’s itchy from stretching though. It doesn’t feel like I’m pushing my gut out, and it hurts to try to suck in. I can no longer put pants on without sitting down and if it requires me bending past my waistline it’s dead to me. I’ve had such a small bump my entire pregnancy I didn’t expect to feel so rough this last month but I can absolutely tell I’m an incubator to a fatty. Included a pic from today. I’m so sorry for your losses. I’ve had one on my own and gave up TTC and somehow fell pregnant after that. Don’t give up hope. I’m here if you want to talk and I hope things go better for you 🖤

It feels as if you are stuffed in a snowsuit...like when your mom got you dressed to play in the snow as a child...difficult to move, cant bend over, add in peeing a drop every 30mins and feeling like a 10lbs weight is resting comfortably on your pelvis...

At the end it literally felt like a bowling ball was strapped to my stomach, it was so heavy and I couldn’t do anything comfortably

Answer

First I want to say I'm sorry for your losses ❤. Secondly I felt huge it hurt to walk it felt like my pelvic was going to break. It was hard to breath sometimes with his weight pressing on my lungs. Sleeping was a mission because I kept tossing and turning because my thighs kept falling asleep from all the weight. Not to mention how many times I had to wake up whenever I did manage to to get comfy because I had to pee every 5 to 10 minutes. I pray you get your rainbow baby ❤😘.
