32 Weeks and Curious

I am 32 weeks and I feel like I have bumped into a brick wall. My pregnancy has been pretty much uneventful (in a good way). Once I hit 32 weeks I just ache all over, I have so much pressure, spend half the day and the whole night in the bathroom, don't sleep for longer then 45 minutes at a time, I cant eat, my hormones switch from crying to laughing in a matter of minutes and I am so tired. I dont mean to complain but is this the norm? 32 weeks and it goes downhill or is it just a growth spurt. Thanks for listening.

 

:hug99: I'm sorry you feel so miserable. I hit "the wall" much sooner than you! It was around 28 weeks. You are doing great momma. :hug99:

 

Hi Sara,
I am 32 weeks too and I can relate to your feelings! I have been in the hospital on bedrest for 6.5 weeks so I keep telling myself that the emotions and pains probably have a lot to do with the bedrest so it is good to hear that someone who is not on bedrest feels similarly. I have gotten quite large in the past 3 weeks (I have gained 13lbs since May 21st!) and I am not really sure whether that is normal either!! I find it really hard to be comfortable in any one position for any length of time, sleeping or otherwise. Anyway, you are not alone, I feel your pain! Hang in there, hopefully this will all be over before we know it.

Hang in there. It is almost over. I know I am going to be right where you are at when I am 30t weeks. I know with my last two pregnancies I had a hard time the last month or so. And right now I am already huge. My belly just keeps growing and growing. Some days are better than others. Just rest when you can and you will be holding your little ones b/f you know it. Take care.

 

Hi Sara!

i could have written the same post - i have a ton of pressure and rlp - the only position that feels good is lying down and i cant sleep - i keep getting up to pee, but then i dont have to go...i am getting irritated and angry at everyone (some of them deserve it of course ) i too feel like i've totally hit the wall - i keep the goal in mind - i want to bake them as long as possible, so i'll deal with feeling like crap for the next couple of weeks!

 

I have hit that wall myself! Glad to know there are others out there too. Getting huge, can't sleep, feet and hands are sooooo swollen, no feeling in my right hand, peeing all the time, getting "stuck" on the couch and not able to get out of bed that well. It has been pretty uneventful up until now so I think I can stick this part out.

Hang in there! I feel your pain

 

Hi from another 32-weeker! Looks like a bunch of us are right around the same time. Anyway, I totally understand what you're feeling. I felt like I hit the wall last week Tuesday. It was like I suddenly was totally aware of all the things that are making me uncomfortable. I cried and told my dh I didn't know how I was going to be able to make it much longer. I'm just trying to remember that every day the babies can stay and grow inside of me is like gold to them...and we are so close now! Hang in there.

 

Yes to everything

 

I've got the 32 week blues too! I had to laugh when I read your e-mail because I could have written it myself, it was just how I have been feeling for the past week. I am still working and trying to get some baby related things done in my spare time, but I am just so tired! I have a three year old also and I feel terrible because lately all I want to do in the evenings or on weekends is lay down and rest. My son can't figure out why I am so boring lately.

The constant need to pee and uncomfortable sleeping definately wear on you too. Part of me is so happy to go to sleep at night, but the other half of me knows I will be tossing and turning and up 10 times to pee! Also, my stomach is so hard sometimes in the evenings it is almost impossible to get comfortable. My OB suggested getting a maternity band which I did and have been wearing for about a week. Not the most comfortable thing (especially when you are sitting), but I do feel like it takes some of the pressure off of your stomach muscles and back if you are doing some walking, standing, bending, etc.

I feel for you sister! Just keep in mind that you are doing great and you are already at 32 weeks! Every day is another day that your babies are getting bigger and stronger. You are doing a great job. I keep trying to tell myself the same thing, but the aches and pains, stretch marks, bloating, peeing, and comments about how I must be "having that baby tomorrow" fifteen times a day don't always make it easy.

You are in the home stretch and doing great, take care! That goes for the rest of you 32 weekers!

I was about 36 weeks when I hit my wall!! WTG for lasting this long! You don't have too much longer to go!! IT's not that much longer! Your body is trying to tell you to take it easy!! Listen to it! You want to go as long as you can!

 

For me it was 30, then bedrest at 34 and delivery at 37. This phase sure is tough that's for sure. Complain all you want - you are going through a lot!! :hug99:
