I stopped working at 32 weeks and I had a nanna nap for 2 hours every day for the last month.
I remember in the last month that I couldn't push the trolley through the supermarket for the whole shop because it was too tiring so I used to leave out the last two aisles. lol.
DP did my vacuuming for me and I basically just lazed around and tried to enjoy the last month of being pregnant.
Don't push yourself if you feel over-it. Can you get someone to do the shopping for you? Enjoy that last month of your pregnancy, I loved the final weeks even though it was very draining.
With my first I remember that pushing a trolley would cause terrible braxton hicks so I waited for DH to come home to do groceries. I was working full time but I was in a job where I sat most of the time.
Could you maybe look at asking your boss to get you a high stool so you have something to sit rest on whenever you can? My chiro also suggested tying a scarf under my bump to help support it but you can get special bands from physios too. The scarf helped heaps when I was at home.
Apart from that rest when you can. Most of those things sound normal. Pregnancy can take a huge toll on our bodies, especially if your belly is larger.
Can you buy groceries over the internet? Then they deliver to your door. Groceries are hard work.
I finished work very early so can't comment, but I understand financially you need to work, just don't work too hard when you are there!
I lounged around a lot in the last trimester as I knew I would be busy when the baby came.
I wore the SRC pregnancy shorts which helped with support in the pelvic area.
I was still going to the gym and quite energetic at 32 weeks but hurt my coccyx at 34wks so was basically out of action after that as I also had some pubic bone seperation, everyone is different.
ps I found heaps to do at home before the baby came- cooking and freezing food for after the birth, decluttering our house, baby clothes shopping, catching up with friends, etc,etc :-)
