How bad was the 3rd trimester for you?

[dulcemariamar]

:-( Everything was pretty good until two days ago when I started to get horrible inner thigh pain. It sucks so bad because it hurts to walk and get up.

Is this normal? Is there anything I can do, to get rid of it or do I just have to live with it during the last few weeks?

How bad was the 3rd trimester for you?

I had bad days and good days. The worst part was the 100+ degree heat...I was sweaty all the time.

But some days I was totally fine.

Hang in there. I reminded myself that I couldn't be pregnant forever a lot.

I was totally fine other than the constant kicks to my vag. But I had pretty much the easiest pregnancy ever. A lot of friends had issues and constant pain once they hit like 35 weeks.

I don't remember, so it couldn't have been that bad, right ?

The 3rd tri was great for me except for the heartburn. Overall though PG wasn't bad for me at all. Sleeping got a bit more difficult but I moved to the guest room with a softer bed and it was much better.

I am fairly convinced that third tri is designed to make you want to have a baby. Outside being so much more tolerable than inside.

36 weeks is when it started getting really bad for me too. Everything was a chore - from trying to roll off the couch to putting on clothes. Horrible back and hip pain so there was no comfortable position. Eating tums like candy to help the heartburn. Started being sick again a lot of the time because of the hearburn. DS kept kicking me in one spot on my upper left and it hurt so bad. I couldnt' sleep what with the kicking, hiccups, heartburn and back and hip pain. I honestly slept better with a newborn.

Here's hoping for a quick and happy end to third tri for you!

Miserable...cholestasis, sciatica, round ligament pain, heartburn, unable to sleep, etc. I am always ready to deliver!

It felt like someone took a baseball bat to my pelvis.

I was ok until 36 weeks. When she flipped, the pressure in my vag has been horrible. Sitting, laying down, and walking is difficult and I can hardly bend over.

I felt great, physically. I was a mental wreck, so worried something would go wrong. I had a huge freak out the weekend of my due date when I finally cut the tags off a few things. I went four days over, and worked right until labor. I did have pretty bad heartburn, but I was sleeping fine and felt ok otherwise.

I've had good days and bad days. The bad days are so miserable, that I forget about the good days. Luckily the good days are pretty good and have me forgetting about the bad ones (kind of). I still have 10 days to go, so hoping for more good days than bad.

I had a seriously easy pregnancy. I worked until about 36 weeks and then took vacation (use it or lose it) until I had my scheduled c section at 38 weeks. I couldn't eat much because there just wasn't room. The worst part was the pupps rash for the last 5 days. I was in the doctors office crying because it itched so bad I couldn't sleep. But I was seriously lucky. I can't imagine what some people go through.

Mine wasn't too bad, but I did have some bad pelvic and back pain. I went to the chiropractor a few times and that seemed to help. If you do this, you might want to check that they work with pregnant women.
