When in 3rd trimester does it start feeling like it's taking forever?

Everyone says it feels like the first few weeks crawl by, then next thing you know you're 20 weeks, then it crawls, then you're at 30, then it feels like forever until your due date.

When in your third trimester did it start feeling like the weeks were moving by slowly? 34 weeks? 36 weeks?

I got to 5 days before due date without it dragging and then she was born :-) Honestly it all went by pretty quickly. Probably helped that we moved house at 30 weeks so there was plenty to do.

It started dragging about 5 days after I finished work. Stoped work at 37 weeks, DS arrived at 42 weeks! I was so so bored by the end of it. I'm staying at work as long as I can this time.

All of it for me. 37w today

Every single day has dragged for me and still only 31 weeks. Hoping he makes an appearance before my due date!

It didn't with my first, I was happy all along. Planned x section at 38+6 so no waiting. With my second, I started getting twitchy about 38 weeks. Had him at 40+10......

I think it depends on which number baby it was. Dc1 felt like I was pregnant for about 50 years dc2 felt a little bit quicker dc3 felt like 9 months and dc4 felt like I was pregnant for about 5 minutes.

35 weeks tomorrow, I'd say it's really dragged (more than before) from about 2 weeks ago, I just hit that uncomfortable phase and want her out

ColourfulOrangex · 13/06/2017 19:23

Also I don't think this heat helps, DC1 was a winter baby it didn't seem to drag at all

I'm feeling pretty fed up and bored of waiting already tbh, I'm only 28 weeks today so only just into the 3rd trimester. It's going to be a looooong 12 weeks

For me 30-36 weeks dragged - struggling with the commute to work, ached everywhere & completely knackered.

Finished work at 37wks & baby has since dropped so feeling less uncomfortable - afternoon naps & finally been given iron tablets! Happy to have another few weeks to potter & relax before little one arrives.

I found the first trimester dragged because of waiting for first scan and the second trimester dragged because you're in that weird inbetween stage where you don't feel or look pregnant but everyone knows you're pregnant.

Now the third trimester I'm finding is going quite quick - currently only 33+5 so I might take that back lol! I think it's going quick though because I'm so disorganised and I feel like my due date is suddenly approaching!!
