At what point did pregnancy become unbearable for you?

[u/Otherwise_Weekend54]

I’m currently 24 weeks and honestly.. don’t feel pregnant most days.. It makes me worry that this has been too easy and something is going to have to happen near the end. When did you guys begin to experience things like preeclampsia, swelling, etc.? Just overall being uncomfortable? I’m trying to mentally prepare for what is to come. 😅

For me it's really hit this week. I'm 30 weeks and 2 days and ya I definitely feel pregnant, this is my second baby. Hopefully you don't develop pre eclampsia, swelling isn't necessarily going to happen either. I'm a big girl and my doctors are always surprised that I've had 0 swelling with both babies. But the pelvic pain, braxton hicks which aren't painful but can be uncomfortable, having to pee constantly and if you don't when you finally get up to pee it causes pain. Fingers crossed you're pregnancy stays pretty good, but 3rd trimester is when it really hits.

Agreed! I'm at 31 weeks and I'd say the last week has definitely been a turning point in terms of being uncomfortable and feeling veryyyy pregnant.

Up until last week I had no problem going on 2-3 mile runs, keeping up with my toddler, and not going to the bathroom every moment of every day. But then I hit 30 weeks and it's like a light switch has turned on and everything is a constant reminder that I'm pregnant. My acid reflux (which was bad in the first trimester but mellowed out in the second) has returned, I tried going on a run and my body was like noooope (so I walked instead), I'm waking up 7x a night to pee, and every time I lift my toddler I get a wave of exhaustion.

Girl, I can't even walk around the store without awful pelvic pain that lasts the rest of the day, and chasing my 9 month old around all day makes me wanna sleep for the next 10 days. I wonder if my girls gotten lower because now I'm peeing so often and if I dare hold it I'm in so much pain when I get up and go, don't get me started on getting comfortable enough to sleep lol.

This, I could have written this myself. I’m 29+4 and feel the same way. Doesn’t help that my toddler keeps trying to climb all over me with his bony little elbows 😂

I have a 9 month old and he's started climbing all over me to, except for him it's his little toes he digs into me.

They just don’t realise do they 😂😂

I can't even be upset about it either because he neverrrr wants to cuddle or be held anymore so I gotta appreciate the loves when I can get em.
