- uncomfortable at work - I had a step made for my feet to rest on but I still flip flop from sitting back to sitting up straight. neither is comfortable for longer than 10 minutes
- dry nose - but I've had that the whole pregnancy
- bad skin - whole pregnancy
- skin stretching pains over my belly that lasts hours
- taking deeper breaths - I've had that the whole pregnancy but now it's more bothersome. It's strange to suddenly have to take a deep breath. It makes me feel like I've been sitting here not breathing for awhile. By the way for the older folks who read this and are freaking out, I've talked to the dr. about this and she told me my oxygen levels and blood pressure are fine. But it's still not enjoyable. Bump is still not bothering me all that much. I feel him move several times an hour but it's temporary. I'm glad he hasn't begun burrowing into an area and causing me pain. But I know this will come.
- completely unmotivated at work
- the band on my maternity pants is beginning to bug me and I find myself rolling it down when at work. But I can't wear the pants without the band because it hurts to much to have my big ole belly resting on that tight elastic
- I am concerned that I still have 11 weeks to go and I'm this uncomfortable. Did anyone stop working before the baby came? If so, how far before?
- I'm eating less and at later times than I use to.
- I had to order some winter clothes because I'm too big for the hand-me-downs my friends lent me.
- pregnancy brain has been hitting me sporatically
- no matter how tight I make my bra straps they seem to completely loosen throughout the day. It just hit me... I guess I could start using a safety pin to alleviate that problem
- Sleep is generally good, but I wake up throughout the night to any noises. If my mind can stay off, I can fall back asleep. Otherwise I'm up for hours. Turning over is a chore.
- I have a long list of things I want to get done but at the same time I'm slowly letting it all go. It's too hard to think about.
- i wonder if Bump will ever have a real name
- I've got a little bit of restless leg syndrome but only when I'm most comfortable at home on the couch or in bed. my leg will spaz for a moment and then the felling is gone.
- I feel pelvic pressure when I walk sometimes
- I wonder what shoe I'm going to wear once it's too cold to wear sandals. my feet don't like being in shoes that hold them in

I didn't have all of these, but, had some...unmotivated at work...had to wear the pants with the bigger band (couldn't stand the below the belly band)...turning over in bed was IMPOSSIBLE without help - especially near the middle of the 3rd trimester! The pelvic pressure will increase. I could DEFINITELY tell when Jack "dropped"...I started feeling like I was walking with a bowling ball in-between my legs...seriously! Not so much uncomfy as it was just plain awkward! I guess I should have guessed I would go into early labor when I felt him drop...oh, well! :) Best of luck...you will be meeting that sweet baby boy before you can blink! Enjoy every second!
ReplyDeleteI think it hit me last night that I am going to be uncomfortable for the next 3 months and there's NOTHING I can do about it...it kinda freaks me out.
ReplyDeleteIt cracks me up that you think the "uncomfortable list" is long now. Give it another month! Anyway, going up a pant size might help. Eventually towards the end of the pregnancies, all of my friends and I just ended up with maybe a pair or two of pants that still really fitted comfortably (and, yeah, they are normally sweats, so unless you have a really casual Friday....). Oh, and while you are out shopping you should look into new bras to accommodate your new figure, which will take care of the bra strap issue. If you are planning on breastfeeding, those nursing tanks are uber comfortable and you can start wearing them now. As for shoes, comfortable flats or slip on boots will be your friends, even though you don't like anything other than flip flops. And thank your lucky star this is your first pregnancy. I've been wanting to cry with every step I take since I entered the second trimester, not to mention when I have to walk AND carry a 30-lb toddler. It only sucks a little worse everyday, but, what they say is true, the end is totally worth it :).
