Wow you ladies seem like y'all are suffering lol makes me feel bad cause I'm 33 weeks and feel fine. Just back pain from time to time, my pregnancy overall has been easy going which is great for me since this is my first pregnancy. I just hope my labor is just as easy or quick which I have a feeling it will be.

I am 33w4d with 45 days left. No major complaints. My upper inner thighs get super sore and hurt mostly when I wakeup or after resting for a period of time and also my tummy feels sore I think my baby girl has been in one spot for so long and she's getting bigger so its stretching me out lol and heartburn once in awhile I don't want to jinx it but my whole pregnancy went so smoothly that I would get pregnant again and again but I got super lucky I hope labor goes this well

I'm 31+3 and been having weird gas at night. Like my chest kills me to the point where I whine like a baby to my husband lol. Also, sleep is getting harder..my hips get tired so I have to be constantly flipping. And my lower back is starting to hurt faster..I can't really stand in one place a while without it hurting. Not to mention his hard movements that make me get painful Braxton hicks!

37 weeks and five days and I have the worst leg cramps like they are stiff and sore for the next week... My little man broke one of my ribs so that hurts. But hey that means my booger is very healthy. I crave lots of sweet dairy stuff or just chocolate. Pregnancy is tough but only 16 more days :)

Thanks ladies! Please keep sharing! It helps to know none of us are going through it alone!

Me, I'm 32 weeks having a boy, ftm
This pregnancy has been horrible! Like a few of you I'm ready for it to be over! Like arnitia I'm having a very sore tummy. It feels like my whole tummy is bruised. Can't hardly sleep at all, cramping a lot, and tmi but having to use the bathroom a lot as well. But baby boy is moving like crazy and also sleeping more. I a great picture of his face the other day! If I had a computer I'd post it :-(
