Third Trimester Blues....anyone else have it?

Well, I am 31 weeks and 5 days preganant. I am so tired and I'm moving so slow!

It's tough to sleep, bc the baby is on my bladder and my back is killing me, even with the support band. I am a FTM, I'm nervous, anxious, excited...I mean every emotion you can think of i don't know how to handle it.

I'm a teacher and I can barely make it through the day, I'm so tired. I have no energy ( I've been given iron pills also)! The people at my job think I'm about to deliver anyday now...because I've gotten super huge over night and they don't hesitate to tell me! ;)

My DH has no sympathy, he feels like I should just "suck it up" it's just apart of my pregnancy , my mother was super woman during her pregnancy ( she's a teacher also) She worked up until the day I was born and she feels I should do the same.

My attitude is super horrible, my students feel like I'm bipolar, some of my friends are calling me a grouch, I get super irritated easily

I'm just ready to have my baby, see it and kiss it and love it!

Is anyone else having this blues???

I have to admit I'm going through this a little. I'd be a lot better if I didn't have to work, because it's utterly exhausting to get through my days at work. Normally, I'd hate a sit down job, but right now I'd embrace it.  I am a nurse with 12 hour shifts(which are glorious when not pregnant). I'm just so tired.

Part of me just wants to tell myself to stop feeling this way, the only thing that remotely helps(only a little) is that I am pretty darn sure this is my last one so I won't experience this again so I should try to embrace the good parts. Only helps a little though.

I miss being in shape, going for a run, not getting irritated when my 9 year old dd snuggles(right now, it's like "get away! I'm uncomfortable!"), being able to comfortably pick something off the floor, etc...

Granted I'm a few weeks further on than you but this is how I feel too.  I'm a teacher too and my students have learned not to put on their stupid, "who me?" act.  Bad things happen.  Mrs. W's head explodes.  

By the end of the day my ankles, feet and hips hurt!  MH says he wants to help, but then I usually end up doing things myself.  Which makes me cranky.

Haha, I am a teacher as well and I'm super cranky! School is super busy (as always) and I'm always tired and irritable and trying to get 12 weeks of lesson plans ready for my long-term sub.

It's crazy, they haven't told me anything about getting everything ready! Way to go teachers!! I just wanna stay home and sleep! lol

My students know...I am the crazy pregnant teacher--let's just do what she says.

I totally understand about the feet swollen, hands swollen, back and hip hurting!!

It's crazy!

I admire all the working pregnant ladies out there. My work environment sort of went downhill a couple of weeks ago so my DH and I decided I should just quit, since I would have left after maternity leave anyway. The main concern was that my office was an hour away, so it didn't seem like a safe situation in the later months of pregnancy. Now that I'm staying home, I can't imagine making it through a work day. I'm also an author, so I still work, but I don't have to go anywhere. Not making much money doing it yet, but it's good to be able to spend more time on it.

It sucks that your DH isn't being more supportive of how you're feeling. Men just have no idea... Good luck to you, and hopefully you'll days will get a bit easier soon.

I'm also feeling down and everything you've described.  If I weren't working, I would be more physically comfortable.  I work at a desk, but sitting in the same position all day in dress clothes doesn't help.

The working thing has gotten me mentally down, as well.  I carry the benefits for DH and I (he works for himself) and I'm really worrying about coming back full-time to a job I loathe with no flexibility.  I don't want to be here anyway... I can't imagine how hard it will be knowing my son is at daycare and I'm somewhere else.  Blah.

I am 32 weeks and I hit my "pregnancy wall" yesterday after I tried to get out of bed and rolled onto the floor because my LO had some random body part in my ribs that made it impossible for me to actually sit up and catch myself. When I just kind of layed there crying, I knew that I had hit a wall.

I just want control of my body back. I am sick of panting and grunting and sweating every time I want to get out of bed or off the couch to go to the bathroom. I hate that my hips and lady parts just ache so much that I am now waddling. And I swear the next person that asks me if I'm having twins is going to be throat punched.

The worst part is that I absolutely dread going to the doctor...to the point of tears b/c every time I go I get some discouraging news about my shortening cervix. It is absolutely awful waking up every single day and having to think about whether or not today is the day I go into labor b/c I took an extra long shower or got up too many times from my desk. And now I just feel physically exhausted on top of being mentally and emotionally worn out.

Sigh...I obviously needed to vent. But I guess at the end of the day, I'm still pregnant and that is really all that matters. And come10 weeks (at the most) from now I will be a mom and have forgotten this feeling thanks to those lovely post-pregnancy hormones :)

I'm currently in college to become a kindergarten teacher and am job shadowing. just sitting there and helping every once in a while makes me tired! i couldn't imagine standing all the time, even if i'm only at 33 weeks. so bless you!
