I just folded 4 loads of washing and by the time I got it all put away I was huffing and panting, my ribs were sore and my legs were cramping...and I'm not even in the third trimester yet!
I just want to say that after a few months of not being pg anymore you will all miss it at some point. I love it. I really miss my belly. I can't believe I said that, but it's true!
You do miss it but at the same time you've got ya lil one so ya dont. lol.
I can officially barely move because of my back, thats what i get for cleaning alyssas room yesterday
You have every right to whinge... Hollye the cramps are horrid. Magnesium or lack of is the main culprit of the dreaded cramp. If you're taking a pg multivitamin check the dosage of magnesium or as suggested by Alyssas_mum ask your doc for advice or a good pharmacist.
Here's my whinge to add to yours....Its the feeling of my stomach stretching right up the top that does me in. It hurts so much at times its like the baby is trying to make a hole in the wrong spot. Then there's the bumps on my girly bits when I'm walking in public... its very hard not to yell out. Fortunately, I haven't been getting the cramps this time around but at night I've been getting awful pin & needles in my hands which really hurts and keeps me awake. And I'm now officially waddling!
I do agree though about missing the sensation of being pregnant when its all over. With DD2 especially I felt a sense of loss because she was no longer rolling around in my belly, I had to keep reminding myself that she was asleep peacefully in her cot.
The rib pain / back pain sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had it at 28 weeks, too. It's related to the hormone relaxin. It can come and go, so since you're 28 weeks it will probably subside, but be warned that it can come back. My hips are hell again. Gonna have to revisit the physio for another realignment.
Now I just feel like I'm constantly going to explode. I can't eat more than a palm-sized serve of food, despite how hungry I feel, because there's no room in my tummy and it's really hard to gauge how much I can eat, so I invariably overeat every single time!!
Oh if only I could get a nice comfortable night of sleep.
