35-40 weeks?

Do all expectant mothers get more and more tired the farther along they get? I read a lot about how some mommies to be are so "tired" and "can't wait to stop being pregnant" and you know. Just the typical can't stand being pregnant any longer and wanna be induced, etc.

I don't want this to be me!
I'm 36 weeks and I get the occasional heartburn but that's about it. I still work. I still play with my dogs. I run around with the kids. I still ride my motorcycle a few times. I still do typical things. Nothing has really changed for me except the fact that I am tired of heartburn but nothing tums can't fix.

Do they mean physically, emotionally or...? I barely turned 36 so maybe that's why I feel normal.

I kinda gasp for air when it comes to stairs but for the most part I can do everything. I've only had swollen feet 3 times but that's cause I wear my sperrys super tight! I'm just tired of struggling with what to wear. -.-

I'm 33 weeks and I find I'm getting.more tired in the third trimester then the 2nd. But also my iron is low and I haven't taken anything for it. I feel good I still work but I have the odd day where I'm very uncomfortable. I honestly can't wait for baby to come I don't like being pregnant I want to be skinny again I've worked so hard at it and I find it depressing to be fat again! :( and I've known about my pregnancy since i was 2 weeks pregnant so it feels like forever.....

Not everybody gets tired at the end. I have had days when I do need a nap, but other than that it has been good. Same with when I was pregnant with my daughter. I have been sick though so I haven't been running around, but most days I'm up doing things whether it be cleaning or playing with my daughter, or helping my mom. Although I do get miserable at times and I can't wait to meet my son I'm not tired of the pregnancy. With my daughter I was 6 days over due and I wasn't trying to induce my own labor or anything. I'm not going to try with him either although my doctor will induce me after a few days since I have been losing so much weight, and I'm measuring 36 weeks at 39 weeks 3 days.
