Anyone else suddenly feeling very uncomfortable around 30 weeks? RANT THREAD!!

Me too...I have to sit up straight or lean backwards because I have hardly any room left for breathing especially after eating anything. I sleep on the couch every night, my belly feels really tight and I can't believe I have about ten weeks left. I could keep typing but I'm already exhausted.

Where's this "glow" we're supposed to get?

he other day the only way I could get comfy was to kneel on the floor with my chest on the sofa, not pretty but soooooooo comfy. Xx

I tried this & was sooooo comfy too, but I've got a bit of bone floating sound my left knee so coud only manage 5 minutes before I wanted to amputate my own leg!

Anyone else got a stupidly itchy scalp? I'm going crazy here and I woke up this morning covered in pimples for the first time in about 12 years, ugh!

I remember getting really uncomfy around 30 weeks last time. I lived on a birthing ball whenever possible, bouncing, sitting, kneeling on floor leaning against it.....I just got a cheap fit ball from asda. Added bonus it gets baby in a good position for birth. Already got it blown up this time!

Oh yes I have just hit the 30 weeks mark and it's starting to get really uncomfortable
-can't get comfortable no matter how I sit. Most times I need to bring in the hard dining room chair as it has a high back and sit on it whilst dh gets to lie the whole length of the sofa
-can't get comfortable in bed so constantly turning and tossing. Even though I now prop myself up with 3 pillows!
-when I do get comfortable in bed and about to nod off, baby decides to kick and I have to wee
-constantly feeling this 'heavy' and 'pressure' around my middle sitting or walking
-sore back that nothing seems to relieve
-hot flashes even when it's cold
-it's 6am on a Sunday.....why am I up???
-sometimes my dh really annoys me for no reason! I feel like I want to hit him!

Rant over.

Ha ha ha... this!! There is no glow! Lol, I have never felt or looked worse.. and I have a 'normal' pregnancy... I have had a bit of SPD but generally am in good health but I do not understand how anyone enjoys this.. I feel fat, cumbersome, achy and awkward... my hair is horrible, my face is blotchy and have eczema and sleep is a joke... up all night dreaming odd things and going to the loo... if it was not the fact that I know how hard the next bit is I would be feeling very impatient now

yes I did I was wondering how I could continue til 40 weeks.. but after a while it got better, either I got use to moving around differently or I just carried on.. adept with a nap if I could manage it sometime in the day, but I remember feeling better after a couple of weeks.

Now at 39 weeks, I am def feeling that way again... just having a break after hanging half the washing out!!
