Pregnancy week 23-24

[MyUmberSheep]

Hello everyone, how does everyone feel at 23-24 weeks pregnant? I'm 23+4 and I feel like I did from week 18-22 ish. I think I was having a growth spurt then and possibly another now. When do babies have growth spurts is it around now. If so how does everyone feel? I'm absolutely shattered, feel heavy, ache, shortness of breath doing little things. I felt a little better last couple of weeks. Thanks everyone 🙂 x

Hey I'm in the 24week boat with you 😆

I feel absolutely shattered. Stomach heavy with the shortness of breath. My stomach has grown bigger between 20wks and today. Quite fast!

But I'm.so glad to have made it to viability week..over the moon.

Will this be your first?

I'm 24 weeks now and feel the exact same. Breathless and uncomfortable and pretty sure the baby is having a big growth spurt. My bump has got noticeably bigger over the last week and I'm expecting more of the same.

I'm finding the first trimester was mainly just being sick and the second is being exhausted!

Hello 🤗 yes it's my first and I'm 44 so a little older! Is it your first? I'm 24 weeks on Wednesday. Does that mean my pregnancy is viable? Congratulations to you and thanks for replying! It is tough!

Oh so I'm not alone! Congratulations to you and at least we have people on here to lean on. Someone at work said to me today " oh God what are you moaning for this is the easy bit"! 😡

Aw I'm so happy for you. It'll be my first too. (We have been trying for a while though to get to this point).

Yeah so at weeks 24 and weeks 28 your baby is considered viable. 28weeks moreso along than 24 but it's still a great milestone.

Where are you based, are you in the UK?

Hello, yes I'm the uk. How about you?

TMI but the constipation is also absolutely killing me at the moment 🤣 I wonder how much slimmer I might still feel if I was able to go regularly!!

My journey to this point has been pretty hellish (multiple pregnancy losses, IVF etc) so I was very determined to enjoy pregnancy. And whilst I LOVE feeling my daughter kick and the bonding side of it (and I am SO GREATFUL to be pregnant and have made it this far) I can't deny that it really hasn't been easy. My pregnancy has also been very highly medicated and I'm still on daily injections, I do wonder how much those side effects are wiping me out too!

Oh bless you, that sounds hard. It's so tough isn't it. How many weeks are you?

24+3! The best part is definitely feeling the kicks and wriggles. I could sit and feel those all day quite happily 😄

I’m 22 weeks + 2 days. I’ve been exhausted since 19 weeks! Just zero energy. Short of breath (hard to talk whilst reclining). Feet are very sore not swollen but that’s been the case since 15 weeks. It seems like time has slowed down a bit.

Oh it's so difficult! I'm 24 +3 and my feet have started hurting. My legs feel heavy and cramp at night in bed. I keep thinking we are near the 3rd trimester but I'm hard x
