Only 25 weeks, but feel like 100 weeks

[eris]

Some days I just feel awful, fat and uncomfortable with a giant squishy belly carrying around a squirmy alien inside it. Today is my birthday and I feel like this.

One day I would like to sleep the whole night through uninterrupted. I have had two babies already so I remember the whole getting up in the middle of the night, but it's been so long now that I don't even really remember what it was like. And over the years I would jokingly tell pregnant friends get sleep now because you won't be getting any after baby comes! Now I feel like such a dick for saying that. How could I forget that? I did this already!

I also want to be able to paint my toenails without having to have help from my daughter because my belly is in the way.

There is more, but I'm tired and can't remember.

/poor me

happy birthday!!

I know exactly how you feel. I'm only 23 weeks but feel o so uncomfortable already. I think because I'm only 5'1 as well it just feels all so squishy. The worst for me is sitting, it feels like when i sit everything is pushed up and all my organs are fighting for space lol.

I don't remember feeling this way so early with my first (although I'm sure I did and just blocked it out haha) but I know its only going to get worse and it freaks me out!!! argg

I was venting about this to my doc recently and he said its common to feel symptoms/aches/pains earlier every pregnancy...so maybe this really is hitting you sooner!

Having your birthday while pregnant can be a bummer - I'll be in the same situation in May - but we're both 25 weeks along, so at least we're almost 2/3 done...

Hope your day gets better and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I am really struggling this time around, I can't even imagine having another baby I am praying days will move on fast and for a healthy baby.

I'm struggling a well but I'm only 21wks. I think it doesn't help DD doesn't want to sleep through the night any more so its like having a newborn while being pregnant still! X

Also happy birthday xx

Awww. I'm sorry. I understand what you are going through. My birthday is only a week or two before my due date so I'm going to be humongous.

Hang in there and belated happy birthday

Thanks ladies, I'm both glad and sad that you also feel the same way. It's sorta depressing. I would never wish anyone to feel so low as this. I hope everyone feels better very soon.

I know the feeling Hun, some days are better than others for me, today hasn't been too bad, but others are so hard and every movement feels like running a marathon!

After i had my baby I couldn't wait to be pregnant again! It's amazing how quickly we forget how hard this all is, right now I feel like I never want to do this again, I love my dd and can't wait to meet my ds but at this moment I'd happily not be pregnant again!! I know that's not how I will feel in 6 months time of course, but being pregnant (as amazing as it can be) is soooo so hard!!! And when people say things to me like "I understand you are tired" and they aren't pregnant themselves I just think "no you don't you have no idea" lol!!!

Happy Birthday!! I'm on #4, and forgot how uncomfortable pregnancy can be. I slept all the way through one night last week, and woke up in amazement!! I forgot how wonderful that feels! It is only going to get harder, but I'm so thankful for this baby I thought I might never have....even though I look like a big fatty, and feel like a giant slug, lol. That's what is so great about this forum...I think we all can relate, lol.

Ugh tell me about it! My due date cannot come soon enough!

I am so fed up of my aching back, walking slowly everywhere, restless nights.. and knowing I have three more months of it to go! Praying they fly as fast as the second trimester has.
