So, for the last 6 months I've barely felt pregnant. Other than a few minor infections that caused me some discomfort I was going about my business, forgetting most of the time that I was even pregnant. All the sudden...WHAM! I'm huge overnight, I can't sleep, my back and both hips are sore all the time and the heartburn is here with a vengence (probably b/c Kate is now living right under my ribs).

With Michael I would've happily stayed pregnant for a loooooong time but I can't wait to get this one out. She's hurting me Crying or Very sad

How is everyone else doing? I hope you are all better than me Very Happy

oh no! Sad I'm sorry you are so uncomfortable. Maybe she'll move positions soon and give you some relief.

Well, that's not very lady-like of her! From what you're describing, it sounds like my pregnancy with my first and he was, well...CRAZY! Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

Good luck with this one, lol!

I just think that pregnancy in general sucks and it is only a means to an end for me. I dont enjoy much of it besides getting bigger boobs and feeling the baby move. My varicose veins are starting to get worse already so I can't wait to see how horrible they are when I am 39 weeks, lol. I am sorry you are feeling so crappy. It's hard to be pregnant and care for other children too, very exhausting.

I will say that I have done something this whole pregnancy that I wish I would have done with the others (I did at the last few appointments for #2 and 3, I think). I don't find out how much I have gained at each appointment, don't even look at the scale! I have no idea how much I have gained! I don't care! I figure if there is a problem, the dr will let me know. Ignorance is bliss in this area for me. Cool

That's the only thing that's going well this time! At 28 weeks I've gained 20 lbs. I gained 55+ last time so I'm on track to stay under 35 which is awesome for me.

I'm sorry for the previous whiny post. I'm feeling much better. I found that by sleeping kind of propped up with pillows behind me but still on my back that my backache and hip pain has really improved. I just can't sleep on my side for long.
