Hahaha.. what the heck..
I'm about 23.5 weeks.. and today hit me like a ton of bricks.
There has got to be something to this!
The belly is huge, heartburn non-stop, my tailbone clicks when I walk to work now?! Also, the stress of work has left me almost in tears (privately) several times already this week.. some new kind of hormone must hit us right at this point in pregnancy.. :P
WOW! I now know what ya'll were talking about. I woke up today feeling so pregnant. My belly is getting bigger every morning I swear. I use to only actually have a belly after I ate then bam I have a real belly all the time!! I can even suck it in at all to look unoregnant any more. So crazy! I feel so uncomfortable. I guess its time to buy some maternity clothes. Right now I live in sweats when Im at home. & I've never in my life had heart burn until a few weeks ago & now its constant. Everything I eat gives it to me...UGH!!!
I am the same way...and HEARTBURN GALORE!
I feel like I woddle although I have gained 10 lbs so far.
Exhausted and sleep by 7pm...uff
I completely agree with the 23 week thing! I am 23 wk 5 d and this week I have felt like a whale! I feel so bloated and all of a sudden I just feel very blah all the time. After I go to the restroom I feel like I need to carry my stomach around for about an hour! I just hope I agree with bioclock1...I feel almost relieved to read that this all must be normal since there are several other women going through the same things!! lol
Wow...maybe it's a 23 week thing b/c i'm 23w1d and i've been thinking the same thought ALL day which is "wow..i feel like a cow!" ANd my baby boy is sitting low ( i think) b/c there's an interesting sensation in my lower abdomen and I too feel like I need to lift up my stomach! It's interesting to read this from others...makes me feel like i'm not so crazy!
If you believe the old wives tale, craving salty and sour means a boy and craving sweet and sugary means a girl. :)
I feel alright today, but I'm telling you last night, my hips felt like they were on fire. I gained 7 pounds last month, which is all the weight i've gained so far, but i haven't changed anything but now i'm plumping right up. I have heartburn that nothing can take away. My moodswings are getting a little wilder, and I have the strangest cravings ... i didn't really crave anything with the first two babies but I am so hungry for salt and sour it's crazy. Pickles, salsa, olives, vinegar chips ... mmmmmm
I'm glad I'm not the only feeling really pregnant lately. :)
I have been super exhausted this past trimester..I have no idea how the second tri is the "honeymoon" period LOL. I sleep all the time, I woddle, I bend like a freak LOL and my goodness I breathe like I am 90 years old. I would even consider myself someone who is in shape. In the first tri, i biked 10km a few times a week and now I swim 3-4x week and do yoga, and well of course I walk the malls but the preparation it takes to do all this is unreal. We are almost in 3rd tri and then it will be baby time before we know it. Hang in there ladies...once we get past XMas we wont know what hit us!
I know just what you are feeling like. I woke up feeling horrible this morning. I felt like I was about to have the baby at any moment. LOL I went to work anyway and could barely keep my eyes open! Maybe this is the 5 month curse we have!
me too! all of a sudden i feel 9 months pregnant and I am 23 weeks tomorrow. i am achey and so tired. i started getting some swelling in my fingers too, so i am trying to relax as much as possible. its weird how it hit me so fast. i did gain about 5-7 lbs this past month too so that might be part of it. i feel like i have to hold my belly when i walk. i cant believe i still have 4 more months of this! ahhhhh
