anyone else having the same problem

Anyone else having trouble getting through the work day the further along you get. My feet hurt my back hurt my vagina literally aches I have started having isolated contractions. I am already dialated to 1 and baby is head down an ob can feel her head at 32w1d. She tried to take me off work last week but I begged her not to because my husband isn't working yet and I can't afford to not have an income but gosh this is starting to be rough. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, it feels harder this time. I'm 34 weeks and take a rest after work before making dinner every night and more often than not, go to bed with our 3 year old at 8 pm! One thing that's helping though is getting back to being a bit more active - as hard as it has been to motivate myself to do so, my husband, daughter and I have been going to a swimming pool twice a week. I basically try to do shallow water aerobics of sorts since I haven't felt up to doing laps but have felt better the day after the pool each time than other days. I don't have any indicators of preterm labor though so you might want to check with your doctor if s/he recommends it for you.
