What week did it become unbearable?

Question

I’m 32+5 and I still don’t feel that I’m at the point where I’m “over” pregnancy and constantly feel huge/in pain/ready to be done. If I’m sitting on the floor or twist a certain way I have back pains or heartburn every now and then but other than that I still feel great and I’m scared any day now I’m gonna wake up and be miserable. At what week did you start feeling completely done with being pregnant??

Answer

Well I think it depends on how many kids you might already have at home, how old you are and if you are in good shape or not. I’m 30, I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old and I’m 33 weeks pregnant. I started feeling pretty wore out around 30 weeks and it’s progressively gotten worse. It’s mainly my sciatica pain and the reduced amount of sleep that has been pretty hard to deal with. I am such an outdoorsy person and so far this summer I have not been able to enjoy my favorite outdoor activities so that has not been fun but I’m thinking in another month I will be to that point of , more than ready for this baby to come. 
With my first I never remember hurting this bad but I also wasn’t working full time and chasing two other kids so I think that makes a huge difference.

35W but not unbearable just harder lol

Answer

With my first I remember in last two months I’d have a rough day where I’d think well this is it, it’s down hill from here and then next day I was back to pregnancy normal. 
I have a two year old, I’m 35 yrs old and I’m 35 wks and still haven’t hit my rough day patch. I def have some slower days and need to take breaks. 
I think it’s just every pregnancy is different. 
But don’t lose hope that one bad day (or a few in a row) means it’s all down hill from there on.

I’m wondering when that feeling will hit, too. I’m feeling alright at 32 wks. Got a lot of growing to do though, I’m sure. I’ve just started getting a little swelling in my feet and hands but nothing miserable yet. 🤞🏻

I’m with you! I’m 31+4 and still feel fine, working 8hrs on my feet in a hospital Monday to Friday and other than being tired I’m fine. People tell me in a few weeks I won’t be and probably won’t be able to work past the end of this month 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

With my first I didn't feel "done" until I was in my final month. This time around though? Ugh, I'm 33 weeks and have been feeling pretty done a good amount of the time already. I'm definitely bigger than I was at this point in my first pregnancy, but I think my issue has more to do with starting out 20 pounds overweight this time. I feel huge and my belly feels overwhelmingly heavy and my heels kill me after only being on my feet for a short time.  Not to mention having to chase around a 2 year old all day. I'm just exhausted and ready to be carrying my baby on the outside and get rid of all this extra weight!

Answer

With my first I felt pretty good while I was working (until 38 wks) , then sometime between 38-40.5 I became over it. Now I am a little older and have a 2 year old, I’m 33 wks and feel like I’ll be over it at like 35 wks

Answer

I’m 34 weeks and I have good days and bad days. Much more challenging this time having an 18 month old who is all of a sudden super clingy to me... I think she senses some big changes coming our way. If I didn’t have her wanting to be picked up all the time I could probably manage better.

Answer

I’m 35 +3 and I’m just starting to get to that point. I think she’s getting ready to start dropping but it’s not so pleasant in the mean time and sleeping is really difficult

Answer

I honestly think it just depends on how your body is handling the pregnancy. I am 38 and 35 weeks with baby #2. I currently feel good overall. I have some aches and pains, and it’s hard to get comfortable to sleep, but I’m not miserable. With my first pregnancy, I only got to 33 weeks, and I was in all kinds of physical pain and then developed preeclampsia and had to deliver early. I honestly think that I am in less discomfort due to all the chiropractor work I did last summer, and I definitely have less stress this time around even if I am chasing a 3 year old. He’s just busy and rather cute most of the time. 😊
