3rd trimester - best and worst things...

[library-laksa]

well, i am getting a little bored now i'm at home during the week (not bored enough to clean much tho hehe!!) so i thought i'd start a new thread - what are the best and worst things about third trimester?

BEST:
1. knowing its only a few short weeks til we meet our little man
2. having the perfect excuse to get lots of massages from DH
3. being proud of my belly instead of self-conscious

WORST:
1. reflux/heartburn
2. sore back, sore arms, sore ribs...
3. getting nervous and a little bit stressed/worried (esp about the breech situation!)

Best:
*All the kicks!
*Special treatment from most people!
*Thinking about how new bub will look.
Worst
*Tiredness and having to lift Jazz now when my tummy is so big.
*Fear of labour and bringing new bub home (how will do it??)
*Swollen feet...eeww!
*Having nothing to wear that is both comfy and nice looking.
*Being so damn hot all the time! And i mean because its summer , not because im sooo sexy!:laughing:

BEST - Knowing that our little girl will be here very soon (fingers crossed even sooner than due date!); Imagining what she'll look like; finally being able to see past labour & seeing her in my arms instead of that being blocked by the labour stresses; Oh and being able to look at the nursery all the time! Even the BH's, and any little pains or anything which means it is close! WISH I HAD THE MASSAGES!!! WORST: STILL WORKING!!! Killing back from work, heavy tummy, sore leg & cramping, stomach pains & the heat

Best:
Afternoon Naps
an excuse to sit down in the shop
an excuse to go to the handicap toilet

Worst:
My ass hurts
my back hurts
I feel punching in my pubis AHHH

Best things
-Starting around 30 weeks is when I felt my best during whole pregnancy, NOT the second trimester like everyone else I spoke to!
-Really like my figure, I fortunately trimmed down quite alot with this pregnancy (and no, I haven't been dieting!). I think it was because I really started eating alot healthier when I found out I was preggers. Lets just hope it continues after the birth!!
-Yes, definately afternoon naps!! They are the best sleeps I get!
-Shopping for baby stuff. I am a junky.

Worst
-Can't get comfortable at night in bed
-Hips are killing me!
-Can't walk much because pelvic area hurts as well as hips. Sometimes pain is excrutiating.
-Heartburn/reflux
-emotional ups and downs - those hormones are wreaking havock!
