Heat flashes, having to pee every ten mins, hard to fall asleep and when i do i always wake up because im not comfortable or I end up having leg cramps, swollen/sore feet, braxton hick contractions/ ligiment pain/pressure pain from the little one pushing on my cervix *she is head down*, heartburn like no tomorrow, i dont know if this happens to every one but with this pregnancy my daughters punches and kicks are so strong they feel like shes about to just rip open my belly, it really hurts.

Well I definitely eat more! My belly popped way out! I have a harder time moving around and sleeping and I've developed a fear of driving

The beginning of the third can be alright. But the end is horrible. Heartburn, so tired, back pain; cramping; can't sleep, contractions, and just genuinely uncomfortable.

It's very different for everyone. I have friends that had such easy pregnancies, all the way to the birth. They said the third trimester was really just exciting because they were so close. Others, much worse haha. I think the nearly unavoidable thing is dealing with this big belly in front of you.

I was telling my doctor today as much as I am extremely happy to be pregnant and cant wait to be a mommy (5 weeks left). I honestly dont see where women say being pregnant is the greatest feeling in the world. I feel like c r a p, getting up 3,4 times a night to go pee, always hungry but everything backs up, can't poop, waddling like a duck, many, many, many more crazy issues! That's what the third trimester feels like. Lol

My third trimester was nice I had to pee a lot like in the first trimester my ankles swelled a little and the movement was amazing until he found my spine my appetite increased as did the mini meals I ate about 5-7 times a day to keep myself from getting that overfull feeling
