How do you all feel at 31 weeks?

[natasja32]

I feel awful. I have for the last few days,maybe a little longer. Im extremely tired,feel sick every so often,i have a terribly sore bump too(this has only been yesterday and somewhat today) Im ok if I lay down or sit still. As soon as I get up and move or have had a bowel movement my bump goes painfully hard for a while,then if i lay down it goes. Ive got some lower backache and have lost a bit of my plug this morning. How do you feel?

PS: Ive also had dramatically increased bowel movements. Day before I went 10 times in one day....so stopped my iron yesterday to see if it was that but it was still the same...today has only been 6 times so far....any ideas?

im 31 weeks today, feel a bit of what you are feeling to be honest, do u feel like u just want it out now?!

 

[Hellymay83]

I had to phone in sick this morning as I feel exactly the same as you too xx

Oh I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well. I've actually been feeling pretty good. I had a bit of nausea and lots of heartburn that turned into a 24 hour puke fest about 2 weeks ago, but then it went away and I feel fine now. Occasionally the baby's head is hitting my ribs but other than that things are pretty comfortable in there. I've heard that bowel movements can change a lot during pregnancy, especially during the third trimester because baby is growing and pressing on things. Maybe that is what is happening with you? If things are really sore and painful though maybe your midwife has some words of advice to help you? Is it normal to lose your plug this early on?

first trimester fatigue is coming back again. but besides the occasional contraction, i feel alright for now

This past week my bowels have gone strange, it's been more of a struggle (tmi) and I've had some nausea too. Think I had my first BH this week aswell. No sign of plug for me though. I think everyone is so different!

 

[natasja32]

Glad im not the only one feeling rubbish...hope you all feel better soon. As for the plug,as far as im aware it can replenish itself...as long as I dont have any blood in with it,its ok. Im so tired of saying...Ive had alot of presure in my bottom and my lower back too...almost like ive swallowed a bowling ball.

Hot!! and bloated every time I eat (even very small portions and I am ridiculously bloated!) and even though I am trying, I can tell I am being a bitch at work... and the worse part is I dont even think I care any more?!

Telling OH last night that baby could potentially come at 37 weeks when he is full term (which is just under 6 weeks away!) or if he goes 2 weeks overdue, which EVERYONE keeps saying I will he could not be here for another 11 weeks... ELEVEN WEEKS, thats almost another 3 months! Noooooo!!

Av been feeling tired got shingles last monday food poison yesterday toothache and earache today sore heed too but apart from that am on top form lol. X

 

[natasja32]

Oh gosh I cant imagine going another 11 weeks. I quess im trying to look on the bright side...that my baby is doing well even tho I feel like cr*p and that ive only got till 37 weeks to go as I will be induced.....it does still feel like forever.

I've been hot and bloated but generally ok. We spent quite a lot of time in the car over the weekend, so was rather achey last night and this morning but otherwise really not doing too bad. Also getting irritated with people telling me I shouldn't be doing things. Surely if I feel I can't do things and need help, I'll ask. Fortunately my OH is very good at not doing my jobs unless I ask him to!

Feeling tired, swollen and HOT! I think I sweat all day. I've been going to a studio to do prenatal yoga the past two weeks to deal with the lower back pain; only helps for a few hours, then it's game on! Had some sciatica pain yesterday too Thankfully it was gone by night time. Bathroom visits have been frequent, yesterday I had (TMI!!) 2 loose BM and stomach cramps... maybe mild food poisoning? Other than that, not feeling too horribly bad. Some days are better than others though.

 

[sparkle_1979]

33 weeks and hot, tired, grumpy, achy but apart from that not too bad

 

[darkangel1981]

hot, swollen, hormonal... oh and killer heartburn... very very tired in general

i actually could go on but im not going to lol just keep getting on with it..

 

[JacquiKeren]

the past few days iv been feeling very tired. My bump is also quite sore and iv been having braxton hicks at least 4 times a day for the past week. I lost some of my plug at 28 weeks but nothing since which is good.

I just want 37 weeks to hurry up so i can finally say im full term. Im fed up and so ready for our baby to be out! The thought of another 10 weeks is just not bearable! x

Wow that struck home for me, only 6 weeks until we are full term?! How cool is that! Hopefully not another 5 weeks after that until we get to meet our babies though. Coming down the home stretch though, a nice thought, thanks you've made my day

 

[helsbelsx4]

Yay!! Potentially only just over 5 wks left!!

Just want it over! So hot, tired n headachy all the time and nauseous for the last week. Oh and I itch in the evening prob cos so hot. And almost forgot the painful kicks my little
Man likes to deliver while I'm trying to drive. Ouchie!!! Think I could prob go on forever!!

It's nice to know I'm not the only one feeling this way!

I feel very sore in my legs and knees and feeling down I'm finding it very difficult tbh... Also I can't sleep at night due to leg and arm cramps and always needing the loo!!

 

[Vanilla_girl]

I'm so uncomfortable.
I think baby dropped since I've lost the ability to close my legs and everything is just so uncomfortable nowadays. I'm having what I think are braxton-hicks but they feel like period pains and walking brings them on really bad, where I have to stop and let them pass.

Only 9 more weeks till my due date!

1st tri fatigue and pain when I stand after being sitting for a while in the bump as well! Like a mini braxton hicks. Ready to be done and we have ages yet!! X
