well, as u can see by my ticker i'm between 33-34 weeks. the thing is, i honestly don't even feel pregnant :shrug: if it wasn't for my little:baby: kicking me i wouldn't even know i was pregnant. i used to get tons of braxton hicks and they stopped in the past few weeks. sure i get heartburn, but i got heartburn even before i was pregnant. no swelling, water retention, nothing. i am never tired/winded, in fact, quite the opposite (insomnia, which i had before pregnancy). i am always ready to do something and have a good amount of energy. my wrists hurt a bit but i honestly cant attribute that to carpal tunnel syndrome of pregnancy, i sit in front of a computer for a lot of the day.

do i sound like a woman who is 8 months pregnant?! :shrug: maybe God has given me an easy pregnancy since my husband can't be here for the whole pregnancy or the birth.

anyone else like this?
 
Wow you are really lucky. Hope you continue to feel as comfortable as you are.
 
I felt like this from about 20 weeks until about 2 weeks ago when I started to get a bit uncomfortable (felt like baby was running out of room and started getting rib ache at first, then sleepless nights). But all in all I have had a very easy pregnancy and gone on as normal, sometimes almost forgetting I was preg!! Think we are very lucky, make the most of the best bit of being preg :)
 
strangely enough i was thinking i did feel quite normal this past couple of days, less heavy (even though i have grown rapidly) and less hurting when i get out of bed, less heart burn when i bent over, easy to walk etc. just for the past two days... until i walked the hubby with the dog at dinner time today - this heat just proved the end of my 'normal feeling' days!
 
I've felt pretty much like this my whole pregnancy. I feel so healthy and pregnancy has been more or less a breeze. The midwife at my ante-natal class today said an interesting thing. She said pregnancy is the healthiest period of a woman's life. You wouldn't be pregnant at all if you weren't in full health. That makes sense to me. I've never felt better really!
 
i feel like the luckiest pregnant woman alive. When i'm up and about i feel great. Even now i have lots of energy. The only thing i struggle with is feeling uncomfortable when i first lay down. And of course the getting up if i've been sat, laying too long. Other than this, the wee trips, my big wriggly bump and fact my boobs can produce colostrum, are pretty much my only other give aways.
 
Ya I feel pretty good too! Only issues I had was feet swelling and a sore back last week because I was taking a class and sat in a desk hunched over for 5 days and not moving much. Now that it's over and I'm being active again the swelling went away and I'm feeling good again. I remember asking the question at the beginning of the third trimester when people started feeling less comfortable and it seemed to be on average around 35 weeks. Hopefully you'll be one of the lucky ones who breezes through right until the very end though! :thumbup:
 
I've actually had a pretty easy pregnancy (so far)... in comparison to most of my friends. I was tired in the beginning, and felt queasy a few weeks (not sick or anything)- then felt great all the 2nd trimester (just some round ligament pain here and there)... just now (the past couple weeks) have I felt a bit more of things... like needing to pee every 5 minutes! lol. A few aches or pains at times... but otherwise, pretty good. Although I'm guessing it may get a bit harder as the weeks go by...?

Sounds like you've got it super easy right now.. so ENJOY!!!!!
