TGIF!!! Anyone else in that miserable stage?? Let's gripe

I'm 33 weeks and I'm huge! I have some big feet kicking my ribs and my back is soooo sore. I get up to go to the bathroom 10 times a night. I'm still commuting over an hour to and from the city each day and I actually lay down on the LIRR when I get the chance - eeewwww. Is anyone else as miserable as I am????? I love my little one and am so excited but sometimes it feels good to vent - thanks for hearing me out.....Share your gripes! It feels good!

Re: TGIF!!! Anyone else in that miserable stage?? Let's gripe

I feel your pain!!! I am MISERABLE too!! I am at the end of my 35 week.
The baby either kicks really hard or moves arms and legs around, which is becoming extremely painful....
His/Her butt is stuck up in my rib cage, which is very uncomfortable.
I have to go to the bathroom every 10 minutes...
I haven't had a good night sleep in about 4 weeks.
I feel sick (congested) and nauseous all the time.
My heartburn is unbearable..
I just feel like sh-t!
I'm tired 24/7...
Cant concentrate anymore...
I cant function at work..
I feel like I am loosing my mind (lost my wallet the other day so on top of everything else, I have to deal with replacing all of my lost identities so I can be admitted to the hospital)
AHHHHHH!!!

It is all worth it though.. I am sooo excited about the arrival of my baby and I am sure I will forget about the way I am feeling now...
But this is definitely the hardest stage for me!!!!!

ETA - your right! it does feel good to vent!

I am right there with you. I am 32 1/2 weeks, and haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks. My digestive system is still so messed up. My fingers feel like sausages because they're swollen. I practically fall asleep at my desk in the middle of the day. I am in the bathroom all the time. At my last exam, the doctor said the head is already facing down, which explains all the pressure on my bladder and all the stretching the baby does that causes me pain. I get winded climbing the stairs or walking around for a long time. I cannot remember anything and have almost no patience. I am very excited and can't wait for him to arrive but another seven weeks seems like a lifetime!

OK my turn.... I'm 30.5 weeks and I am starting the miserable phase. It's amazing to feel the baby move, but it's starting to get painful and happens whenever I'm trying to relax.

The body pillow is not helping anymore and I wake up feeling like I slept in a gravel pit.

I've been getting terrible headaches and Tylenol doesn't help.

This may be TMI, but it seems as though my a$$ has gotten wider/bigger and gets my panties all in a bunch I'm going to Target this weekend to buy some grandma bloomers!

I am right there with you! The baby is breech so I am getting head butts in the ribs. I have one student is very chatty and there is something about the tone of this childs voice and everytime he talks the baby starts moving his/her head all over and it hurts.

I am swelling so much!

Being between a footling and traverse breech I have a foot on a certain ligament that makes it EXTREMELLY painful to move my legs while in the seat position. Also since the baby's butt is in my pelvis, when I sleep on my side I feel like my pelvis is breaking in 2.

I have officially hit the I AM DONE phase.

's and tummy pats to all
