33 weeks and really starting to feel it now.... anyone else?

[NewMama2Be]

I've been sick daily since about 6 weeks but aside from that, I've had a fairly straightforward pregnancy - FTM!
Never did get the 'burst of energy' or 'glow' that people speak of but for the last week or so I've really started to struggle a bit. The last couple of days in particular have been rough, real lack of energy, not sleeping all that well, nauseous and a bit cramps until I go to the bathroom. Just generally not feeling too great now but assuming it's normal. Anyone else in the same boat?

I’ve been really struggling with the position of the babies (am expecting twins and am at 32+5 today) as they are right up under my ribs. The bottom of my bump hurts and is really tight most of the time, unless I’m lying down; if I sit upright to eat then I obviously squash them a bit and they are wriggling and making it known they want me to stretch out a bit. Then I’m uncomfortable from sitting in a semi reclined position so end up lying down!!

I’m up at the hospital every week from growth scans and Doppler studies as one twin isn’t growing as well as the other (weight difference is currently estimated at around 1 1/2lbs) and they’re giving me a very low threshold for delivery because of other factors around my pregnancy so I could end up in at any time, but have also been told for a while now that they won’t let me go beyond 36 weeks anyway, so not got that long left in the scheme of things!!

I’m just at the point where I’m ready to meet my babies and want them here now so I can get on with recovering from the section and being a mummy!!

I've had a really easy pregnancy, but at 35 weeks I suddenly felt all kinds of crap - sore back, exhausted, generally grumpy, and feared how I would cope over the rest of my pregnancy.

Luckily, a week later at 36 weeks I felt MUCH better. Not as spritely as my 2nd trimester where I did have that 'glow' and burst of energy, but a hell of a lot better than the week before.

So hopefully for you its just a tough week, and wont last the duration of your remaining weeks.

My bump popped out during that week and I was so tired, I think maybe baby had a growth spurt or something.

I'm sure this last part is the hardest, but we're both almost over the hump now!
