Feeling huge

I'm 27 weeks, 28 on Sat and I already feel like I'm 9 months. My stomach is huge and hard. My back is killing me, I'm short of breath from the smallest amount if exertion, my ankles are sweeling and I'm never comfortable. My first pregnancy was not like this. Anyone else feeling like August is sooooo far away?

I'm 26 weeks today and although I was overweight prior to being pregnant, i have a small bump.  In fact some of my normal clothes still fit and I have a little bump envy when I see lots of ladies with perfect bumps.... Enjoy the lovely bump, some people don't even realise I'm pregnant :( even the sonographer yesterday looked towards my bump then me and the look on her face - where is she/ the bump!! We r having a baby girl :)

Well I'm a little jealous that you don't have a big bump. I too was overweight prior and now I'm just a ginormous. I've only gained like 10 pounds and I'm all bump but just miserable

I feel the exact same way. This too is my 2nd and I feel bad to say I don't enjoy it likey first. I too have a large belly, swollen feet, I'm tired, I have to pee a lot, my hips hurt, an on and on. I sweat in places unthinkable. I hate to complain. I was told I would never have a child and my 1st will be 7 this year, but I've been told I look miserable twice. I skipped glowing & went to miserable.

I'm significantly larger than most of my friends who are pregnant, and due, around the same time as me.  I'm short, so I'm carrying so strange.  But yeah, I feel as big as a house, and find myself bumping things (and people) with the belly all the time.  Swollen feet, exhaustion, trouble getting up from sitting and from laying down.... Yup... And I'll be 28 weeks on Sunday, so I'm right there with you.  :-)

I will be 28 wks Sat.too, and I couldn't agree more.  With my first I felt like a super model, but yeah I'm short too and this time around things got uncomfortable waaay sooner.  In fact, I was never really uncomfortable at all with my first,  except for maybe the last week, and I was a week overdue!   This time I'm pretty much done now :(

Thanks ladies. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I also feel bad that I'm not enjoying my pregnancy but I'm done. I told my husband that I'm glad we're having our girl now because I'm never getting pregnant again. I'm miserable and done. We'll get through it ladies but it is going to be a long summer
