3rd trimester seems a hell of alot like the 1st tri dosent it?

[Dansta]

am i the only one who feels like this?

I'm just tried (or tried-er) than i was in the first tri. im leaking from south, the equater and up north! i feel like a bag of leaky fluids.
i have cravings, my bladder always feels full (even if its not) the only differance is that i can feel blip kick (and it hurts sometimes.) and i'm hungry ALL THE TIME.. Ohh and i got a blood nose!

i know most of this is 'normal' but it just dawned on me that the first and third trimesters seems to have the same kind of 'side affects' but in the third trimester you're PRAYING for that period type cramps. (btw, when you get that feeling is that buxton hicks contractions?) and in first trimester you can still see your feet!

Any one else had frist trimester 'side affects' come back in the third trimester??

i think i'm even more tired now than i was in first trimester!
and v uncomfortable....i'm having lots of trouble walking my dog now too. poor girl! i'm just really struggling.
i guess the only good thing is i'm not nauseous now

Yeah, you get them back and much worse. The first trimester is also not as long as you only normally find out halfway through that you are pregnant. And it's much more difficult carrying this bump around every day. You are almost there!

Yes, I'm so so tired!!!!!
So glad there's no morning sickness tho, that was horrible.
But it's very uncomfy, especially in this hot weather!

I just find I am sooooo TIRED all the time..... ALL the time and working hasn't helped either cos' i can't sleep as much as I need to or would like to.....
Looking forward to my holiday as of Tues........ well deserved!!! LOL
OH! And the swollen ankles and feet are NOT FUN

I think 3rd Tri is better than 1st Tri. Mainly cos' we're so much closer to meeting bubs!

Another one who has recently had the tiredness return. It's not quite as bad as the first tri (so far) but I expect it to get worse as the weeks wear on. I am back to yawning non stop from mid afternoon and being able to totally crash and sleep for a few hours when I get home from work.

Other symptoms are a bit different now though - back pain, swollen feet etc.

I've got the ms back again. I feel sick all the time..............not fair!!! It went for nearly 10 weeks and now it's the same as first trimester. Really strange. xo

Yeah I think Ive noticed a change and I'm note even that far into the 3rd tri.
I think its the fact of the weather and this time of year and me still being at work, thats gettin' me down. PLUS DH has decided to quit smoking for the 4 time in just as many years so he's being a right royal you know what...
Bring on 2009! As far as symptoms go... my lateral and logical thinking has gone bye byes for about a month or more now..my moods are swinging like a pendulum, starting to crave really sweet things again.. Yeah Id say 1st and 3rd are pretty simmilar for me in that respect. Cept I got a LOT more sleep in the 1st tri.
