36 weeks... Normal symptoms ?

[dannahmarie]

I'm going to guess this is normal for 36 weeks.. This is my first so I have no idea what's okay.. What's normal. . And I tend to exaggerate pain or think something means something else.. so advice would be good.  My OB kinda ***** at it. Sadly. .

ok so. . I'm pretty sure baby has dropped since my belly is sitting in my lap now.  His movement is painful. . The kicking or whatever he has room to even do any more isn't every where like it once was. Mostly real low i can feel him or on my sides. Pressure or pain down there has gotten worse. . Feels like something is blocking my urethra when i try to pee.. It takes forever for me to get any thing out.  And it almost feels swollen when i try to pee.. i can't sleep more then 1 hour with out going.  OK and now the past few days I've had some cramping or back pain. I was super nauseated today. . Almost threw up but forced myself not to. No appetite either. .I'm super thirsty too. I don't know if some of this is maybe me just being sick with a stomach thing?  I'm achy all over too. Oh and i still have problems breathing.  When i sit back.. then i get anxiety which does not help.  Heart races.. Can't catch my breath.  It probably doesn't help that i sleep on an air mattress ( waiting on my actual mattress ...i get on tuesday.. Long story ) but my whole belly area. . All around it .. hurts so much.  All the pressure of the mattress pushing against every thing hurts so much. ..I can't breath sometimes and it can cause the cramping pains ..I just noticed last night.  I haven't been able to lay down at all today. I have to sit up to be at all comfortable. . Then my back hurts. . And it starts all over again.  So do I have Braxton hicks ? Oh and I should mention I have not lost the mucus plug yet.. and yes I have tried a body pillow and Ididn't like anything under my belly .. It hurts.  I have a pillow between my legs and one under one so that helps a bit. Sorry I tend to ramble. I just wanted to make sure I mentioned every thing.  Thanks so so so much

Ya sounds normal but some of your symptoms may be due to anemia I'm anemic and have same stuff but this far in pregnancy can just be due to being very pregnant. I would have your doctor check if your anemic but don't worry end of pregnancy just ***** almost over and Braxton hicks like labor is different for everyone that's diffently a possibility.

Sounds pretty normal. Welcome to the last glorious weeks of pregnancy! Just a few weeks left...

Take your temp if you think you could be. But really that sounds 100% normal of end of the pregnancy.  Most women are miserable at the end.  I am, I don't sleep and feel like I can't breath even though I know I am. I can't even sit at the dinner table anymore. Sigh baby bigger so yes movements can hurt etc. I would be more worried if there were no movements.  Air mattress or real matteress might not matter. We have a great one and normally it like heaven to crawl into and lay down but.3.trimester nope I hurt and also have pillows everywhere even sleeping proped up as I feel I can't breath. Can't sit well as the pain in my left groin from the baby's head and weight is there. And yes baby head can block your pee. Did it with my second child during Labour. Baby head blocked my bladder I couldn't empty it and bladder blocked babies head, as soon as they realized I haven't peed after being in the hospital for 8 hours they put in a catheter to drain my bladder nd my son pretty much came out with the removal of th catheter. Dr ran in the room and caught him with help of the nurse. So in labour Now I always make sure I peeing as they said he would have been born like 5 hours earlier. All my other boys even the first on was 4-5 hours and that one was 10 hours.
