Third Trimester

So they day the first and third trimesters are horrible and the second is a nice break in between. And I am sure I'm about to agree. I hit the third trimester tomorrow (27 weeks) and am already uncomfortable and over it haha the second trimester wasn't a walk in the park for me but have to admit it did end up getting better than the first. But in the last week I have become increasingly uncomfortable, frequently urinating, lack of sleep and heart burn has been kicking my butt! Anyone else around the same time frame and have noticed things getting harder?! Like shaving your legs! So happy it's just ticking over to winter here! I'm dreading the next 13 weeks :( I work in retail and am on my feet already and really struggling with it, specially due to other medical issues made worse by this pregnancy. Wish I could say I have enjoyed my pregnancy but I really haven't :( almost don't wanna ever do it again, not that this one was even planned. Anyone else feeling this way??

Yeah i agree with the back pain!! Haha have you had the crampy legs?? I've been having them pretty bad during the second trimester.

I'm glad it's been going smoothly for you! Hope it stays that way! Mines been quite rocky and rough but I know it will be worth it once I have him in my arms :D

Yuuuuuup I feel ya as far as things not being a walk in the park. Everything kind of went haywire after I became pregnant (not blaming the pregnancy, just coincidence) I'm a tough girl don't get me wrong but its kicking my butt. Swelling, sensitivity where I don't appreciate it, hormones in general. But, millions of women do this and get through it. I hold onto that. :)

I'm 25 weeks 4 days so I'm definitely getting there and I completley agree with everything getting harder also I'm starting to get sore in some places this week I've noticed myself complaining about myback hurting and my legs I ccan't say I haven't enjoyed my pregnancy because everything has being going smoothly but I can say that its not over and everyday seems to be getting a little harder then the day before but on the bright side of things everything seems to be moving rather quickly and I'm sure 13 weeks will fly by :) good luck to you and hang in there
