36 weeks pregnant?

Question

i am 36 weeks pregnant and feeling very heavy i still try to do things i did before i where pregnant but i am struggling with the size of the stomach now and i have a horrible job getting up in a morning or moving and i have the baby lieing on a nerve on the right hand side and then the pressure of the babys head as it is engaged ready for birth anyone else have problems with this

Answer 1

yes I have had 4 kids myself and that feeling u r having is the baby moving down into the birthcanal and you just need to rest and get ready for your new bundle of joy so good luck and wish u well

Answer 2

'Yes, I had many of these symptoms.They suck, but all part of the process; try to remember you only have four weeks left. All the answers you've received are great, but no one mentioned that you shouldn't be trying to do everything you did before you were pregnant.Rest more, stress less. Good luck. PS If you're already feeling pressure like the babie's head is engaged, be prepared to deliver very soon, I wouldn't be surprised if you've already started to dialate.

Answer 3

I have gone through that same experiance when I was pregnant with both of my kids. I am pregnant again so I am preparing for that. There's not a whole lot you can do now except wait it out. You only have 4 weeks left. All you can do it try things like asking your doctor, getting back rubs or seeing a chiropractor. it will be over before you know it. Good luck.

Answer 4

If it was me I'd apply to take my maternity leave a bit early. I went on maternity leave at 37 weeks (gave birth at 40) with my first son. It was the best thing I could have done for him and me. I had time to rest and get the energy to deliver him. Giving birth is hard work and if you are tired it takes longer. Trust me I know. With my second I went into labor at work and that kid took forever to get out!!! I was too tired to push. Try to get off that job soon. You may have more money options than you think.

Answer 5

I hated every minute being pregnant, not sure why I did it 4 times.
Everything you mentioned is common but not everyone feels the same thing. You're almost there, just pamper yourself right now because soon you'll be Pampering someone else and have little time for you.

Answer 6

Aw me to but im only 34 weeks pregnant. I hate getting up in the morning its such a hastle. Oh and getting out of my car is really hard to at times lol. Hang in there we only have a few weeks left!! Congrats

Answer 7

Yes I had the same problem on feb 27 of 02 I had my last child about 3 weeks before he started laying funny,i wold take a hot bath not to hot. and that helped a lot i liked to watch him move around. It was cool. I also practiced my breathing. and bought a big pillow and kept my feet proped up it helped a lot. Welcome to motherhood.

Answer 8

Yes, I did too. It's normal and perhaps nature's way of forcing you to rest to prepare for the birth. Just enjoy this time and rest when you can because soon you will be caring for a newborn! Congratulations!

Answer 9

It's normal - expect everything to take longer to do over the next few weeks. Sleeping is going to be uncomfortable too. Someimes sleeping with a pillow between your knees can help.

Listen to your body, when it says to rest - then you rest.

Congrats & good luck!
