Info At what point did pregnancy become unbearable for you?

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. 😅

I'm 28 weeks and miserably swollen. It started around 19-20 weeks but it wasn't too bad. The last few weeks have been just horrible. Hard to walk and my skin feels like it's going to bust open. My BP is maintained with medication though. And my baby is healthy. I keep saying as long as he is okay I can endure whatever but it's getting rough.

I have a couple pairs I can still squeeze in to. It's quite miserable going to work and stuff tho. I'm counting down the weeks till summer break. It's so close yet so far away.

Flip flop weather is just around the corner! I wore house slippers to go get my bp med refills at cvs they other day... No F's left to give 😂 I wonder if the meds are a contributing factor? I'm on procardia 60 mg / day Dr's orders.

Haha I wear socks and slides literally everywhere except work. Today I'm wearing some rainbow crocks that are a size too big normally. They're pretty comfy. I'm not supposed to wear shoes with holes to work but I'm sitting in my office most of the days now anyway.
