I have finally reached 33 weeks and I think I am done. I've been pretty energetic most of my pregnancy but now I feel like I am dragging and can't wait for this to be over.



Is anyone else out there who is tired of being pregnant?

I very much doubt that there is a pregnant woman ever to have lived who wasn't tired of being pregnant by the third trimester!

My last post on this topic was 10 weeks ago and I have to say I am getting to the point where I want them out lol. I am 33 weeks with twin girls and I am getting to the stage where I am hurting more than not and my feet and hands are swelling like you wouldn't believe! I still love being pregnant but I can't wait until our new little princesses make their entrance and I can get back to normal : )

Thank God, I'm 36 weeks and some days. I can't sleep in the night so I feel tired and sleepy when I'm in office. Especially I hate this part. Also, the movement of the baby is killing me, it is very very hard to bear. I don't know what to do. I'm praying every day to be the final day.

Oh God pls help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can also see that some women love being pregnant. I don't why...exactly...I mean, I love the child at the end, just like I deal with hard work, because of the reward at the end, but I'm not one to say that I love being pregnant.

When I get pregnant (34 weeks currently), it seems to take my mind, body and emotions like 4 months just to get adjusted to slowing down.. i'm a Type A personality and I am always doing something or planning to do something. Pregnancy just takes me from operating at 100% to operating at 30% and dewindling from there.. which to be honest, makes me depressed at first until I get into a routine of things.. and with being sick, my 30% ends up being more like 5% which is just about the end of the world for me, or as it feels.. because I can't do anything close to what I was doing..

So I love my babies, one in the belly and the one sleeping next to me right now, but to get them here, oh Lord... is quite a journey!

I am... i'm 34 weeks with my second...I can barely move because my hips hurts so much, and the braxton hicks give me headaches and an attitude if i'm distrubed while having them..

Everyone says I will deliver by or on the next full moon, which is new years day I believe... as long as I am at least 37 weeks and the baby is healthy, I am ok with that..

I will say that this pregnancy has been much easier on me than my first, thank God.. but I am just about ready to pop.

I love being pregnant and enjoy every minute (yes even the pains and the nausea) and when I start to feel a bit anxious/down I just think about what it is I am doing (growing a new life inside of me). I am currently carrying twins and it is sooo much harder than a singleton. To add to it I have a 4 and a half yr old and a 2 and a half yr old who just don't seem to stop for a breath, but in a way I am glad for that because it has stopped me putting on as much weight as I did with both my girls. I'm only 23 weeks pregnant and already I'm feeling big and awkward and get super tired/sore quickly, which makes it hard, but then when I stop and have a little break my little Squirts (their nickname for now) give me encouragement by kicking and moving around for me and makes me feel better : ) As hard as it is I say enjoy it while you can : )

I think everyone has had enough by the time they get to half-way through their third trimester! You stop being excited about the thought of the baby you're going to get at the end, and it feels like every five minutes you are complaining to whoever will listen, "I JUST WANT IT OUT!!!" The waiting is the worst bit, not knowing exactly how long it's going to be. You get to about 38 weeks where you think, "only two weeks to go!" But then part of you thinks, "but what if I go early? It could be any day now!" and start to get really excited at the thought. And then you think, "but what if I'm late? It could still be anywhere up to 4 weeks!" It's HORRIBLE. At least with my next one (not pregnant yet, nor even trying at this point but hopefully we can start trying in the next few months) I know that I will be going in for a scheduled c-section (after having had two emergency ones, I don't have much choice) so I'll have a definite date and there won't be any waiting around. Still won't make the last trimester any easier though.

Im 34 weeks and completely miserable. I want this pregnancy to be over with already. This is my second pregnancy and with the first I loved being pregnant, now I just want everything to hurry up. They put me on bedrest cause I started having contractions, they told me it was because I was dehydrated gave me fluids then sent me home. This pregnancy is horrible im constantly in pain, can't sleep, and can barely get in and out of bed. I have pelvic pressure and pain so badly that my DH sometimes has to pull me out of bed. (also bed is very tall). Is anyone else this miserable?

It is so funny to see this post! I wrote this two years ago when I was pregnant with my 3rd child. Now I have baby #4 on the way and remember telling my hubby this is absolutely the last one.

I'm definitely tired of being pregnant...don't get me wrong, it has been the most exciting thing to happen to me in my life but the tiredness, restlessness, anxiety, stress and pain do take it's toll. Furthermore, I'm sick of pregnancy talk. That's all others talk to me about, it's as if I have no identity besides expectant single mother stamped across my forehead. I just want my body back and I want to be treated like a "normal" woman again...



Besides the complaints, I just want to hold LO in my arms and get the chance to see and smell him!! I can't wait! I'm due this Friday, I hope he comes soon:)

38 weeks pregnant.... And let me tell you right here and right now. I AM DONE!!!! I am tired I wanna sleep but can't... I wanna roll over in my bed without pain but can't... I can't even seem to be able to take naps anymore without just laying there staring up at the ceiling... At night I lay there and watch the hubby sleep and sometimes I just wanna wake him up... But I don't because he has to work... I want to be able to walk again not waddle.. Go to the store I want to cry cause I am just in that much pain in the hips and the inner thighs... You know what else would be nice... To be able to see my feet.... and to be able to scratch em with out having to use something to reach the darn itch! I would like to have my normal appetite back not this eating like a horse and eating everything around me... I would like to not have to pee so damn much... I would like to be able to breath and not have heartburn anymore... I understand I am SUPER close.. but you know what.. He's not showing ANY signs of being ready... I swear sometimes he just wants to come out of my tummy but not in the way that he should.. It's like he's trying to push his way out.... OH and lets not forget he likes to play monkey bars with my ribs... I'm tired.. I'm cranky... I never want to leave my house because it's just to darn hot... I know I'm close.. but not close enough in my opinion... I just want him out of me.. I will get more sleep with him out of me than in me!!! I'm starting to think "mm maybe I should try that nasty stuff called Caster oil." but then I said HA no way and with me being this far along I am 10 times more emotional...... I just want to scream to the top of my lungs... Yep I think I'm pretty much finished with this pregnancy wouldn't you agree?

Big fat yes. I'm 35 weeks, had morning sickness and various kidney infections most the way through, and also now have my 4 year old all day. I'm totally exausted and all I want to do is sleep. Having a c-section so hopefully should only have 3 weeks to go.

I want to be able to eat without feeling like someone has kicked me in the stomach and thats if I don't pewk it back up again. The heartburn is killing me and the reflux gives me a taste like cod liver oil tablets.

I think if you are tired of being pregnant and have not reached term you can look at pictures of premature babies for motivation to make it a few more weeks. I this sounds a little harsh, but sorry. Provided neither of you are in danger please look to anything you can for distraction,motivation, or encouragment to make it to term. Complaining and being honest about stresses and discomfort by all means is helpful I do understand.

Yes. Even more annoying- people don't seem to understand. The more I try to take out of my life, the more people think they can throw at me.

I'm 33 weeks with my third child and I'm so ready to have my 'old' life back...not having to pee constantly, no pain, being able to do the most basic of things on my own, have clothing that fits etc....I've got 6 more weeks until my scheduled c-section. i'm really really trying to stay positive and enjoy these last few weeks but ugh...I'm finding it tough. What is everyone else in this boat doing to enjoy their final few weeks?

I've never been tired of being pregnant. I love it! I'm pregnant with my 3rd now (16 weeks) and feel the same as with my other 2. I love having the big belly and seeing and feeling the kicking and moving. I find it amazing and a gift to be able to carry my baby. This will be my last so will cherish every moment. It's also nice to share with my 2 other kids (who are 4 and 7), they like seeing the belly grow and like talking to baby.

I totally agree. I'm at 31 weeks and I miss my body and being able to touch my toes. I keep dreaming of not being pregnant. I'm tired of not being able to do all that I used to be able to do prepregnancy. If I could just hand the kid off for a day and let my man carry him, I would be sooo happy. But until the day comes, all the squrims, punches and aches and pains reaffirm that the baby is healthy. But I'll be sooo happy when he is born.

35 weeks with my first and i cant belive i have another month left. i loved being pregnant- it treated me so well! i never had morning sickness, i didnt gain a butt load of weight, didnt really have mood swings and was pretty full of energy for the most part- but do love napping ;] but now i think more than anything i am just ready to meet my daughter, i feel so anxious every second it seems! so yes for the most part- i am tired of being pregnant. lol :D

I am 35 weeks and sooo ready to have this baby. I have been sick on and of for 2/3 of this pregnancy and ready to finally have my girl. I have had 3 boys already and didn't have this many issues with any of them. My last son who is now two, was the best pregnancy of all and he is a very good child, does this mean this one will be a terror?

I definitely agree...I'm 38 weeks with my 7th child, haven't been pregnant in 6 years, and this one just has me exhausted now. 2nd trimester was the most energetic time i had, then 3rd trimester hit and slowly I've been feeling more and more drained, naps don't even work. Super happy to be having baby soon though.
Hang in there and Go with the flow...
