Need to vent!!

im almost 33 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I'm SO UNCOMFORTABLE. I feel like a whiner. Almost every pregnancy symptom I swear I have it. It's hard for me to walk kuz my stomach just feels so big and heavy. My feet are so swollen. And my stomach and back are sore. Not to mention I'm just so tired. Getting up from a chair takes sooo much energy. What can I do???

I'm in this same boat! I hit 34wks yest and I hate this... I'm a ftm and I know I should be "enjoying" this experience but there's nothing enjoyable about it! Some nurse practitioner I've never met spoke to me at my apt this morning and said we Need to keep an eye out for "preeclampsia land" like it's some sort of cute village we may wind up in as we're nearing the end... ugh, not cute woman, I guess she doesn't realize how freaking scary that is to me!

I'm 34 weeks and have been uncomfortable for about 2 weeks. This is my second pregnancy.  All my pregnancy symptoms came back with a vengeance (if they ever went away to begin with). Sleep is a joke, my back hurts all the time especially when I'm on my feet too long (grocery shopping is a killer). My ribs feel like they are going to snap.

I'm so 33 weeks and feel the same way. I would cry all day if someone would listen and feel bad lol.  This is my 3rd pregnancy and I've never felt this bad even sleep is horrible! I have been using a heating pad and that has been working a little. I've been taking baths and drinking tons of water too. My MW just keeps saying the same thing. I think if anyone tells me to drink more water or take a bath again I will lose it!! Tylenol doesn't help either so I'd rather not take pain meds. One midwife told me they would give me muscle relaxers and the other one told me she didn't want me to feel loopy. Honestly I would rather feel loopy in the evening and get a good night rest then this. I know it will soon be over and worth it but it's so hard and it makes me so anxious and emotional

I know the feeling, seemed like the first 30 weeks were a breeze, except for some morning sickness at the beginning, then after every symptom imaginable hit. I'm currently 5 days overdue wuth number 3. Just remember it will be worth it when ur holding that little bundle. It's amazing how quickly u will
forget everything. Good luck
