I'm only 31 weeks and I feel already so sick of being pregannt. I'm happy to be having a baby, it just feels like ive been pregnant for years!!! Anyone else ever felt like this? Or have any ideas how to pass the time without going insane? I'm getting so big and I feel so uncomfortable in my body. Those of you who have already had babies, do the last few months go by fast?

They went fast for me; and try to relax, you're very far along and just think that soon you will have your beautiful child in your arms! Try to occupy your time fixing up the baby room or having lunch or dinner with friends and family members. Congratulations!

Usually the last month or so goes by so slow because you think you are ready to give birth, but you are not at all. There really is nothing you can do to pass the time. Just get more rest, do the nursery up, go shopping for baby. Keep in mind the, the more time it takes to have this baby, the more healthier the baby will be when born.
After you have this baby, you will miss being pregnant and want to do it all over again. That is the only thing that went through my mind after I had both of my kids. I know it is hard, especially the last month or so, but the wait is worth it.

I felt the exact same way, and I honestly can't say if the last few weeks went by fast. I think at the time it didn't feel like it. But what I recommend for passing the time is trying to do as many things you love to do as you can before the baby comes. Go out to dinner as much as possible; get together with your friends; take lots of hot baths; rent a bunch of movies and watch them (or go to the movie theater); read books; even just lay around in bed all day; just do anything at all you love to do now, because once the baby comes, it will be a l-o-n-g time before you even have a little bit of time to do them. Especially if you're planning on breast feeding. My son is six months old, and I still don't have much time to do anything I want to, like read a book or take long, hot showers. Even watching a TV show is hard! (That's why I love my DVR!)
So, I know you're tired of being pregnant, but enjoy this time now!

Im 16 weeks with my 2nd child. With my first things went by pretty fast up until the last 2 weeks until my due date. A day seemed to last forever. I started a homemade baby book and made her a quilt, cleaned the house, and make sure I had all of her things ready to pass the time. I assure you when you're baby gets here you'll be so happy. Although when I first had my first I got depressed because I wasn't pregnant anymore. Just relax and enjoy the pregnancy. You'll need the rest in a couple of months. Good Luck.

Hello there - yep, bet you feel like a beached whale! The last month or two can be tough especially if it is hot too! Hope you are not working because those are really long days. What you need to do is really make the most of this time. Make it a time to rest and sleep and get stuff ready for the baby to come. Try to enjoy your pregnancy and take time out to rest and relax. I took myself to the movies heaps of times and sat in Gold Class with a glass of champagne (a little one) and a bowl of wedges and just enjoyed myself for those last weeks. Get a manicure, get a pedicure, go for swims and sleep. I can assure you that after that person arrives you will be exhausted and won't get any time to yourself for a while. Best of luck.

No. Slowest time of your life. Sorry! But the baby will drop and give you more room to breathe! I loved being pregnant the whole time, and was sad to have it come to an end. Try to think of the positives of being pregnant: Your baby is more healthy the longer he/she is in there, other women look at you with envy, your baby's movement, the pregnant excuse to get your honey to do things for you, pregnant women are adorable, did I mention the baby's movement?
Once the baby is here, you'll have to work around the 'boss's' schedule, and your stuff gets put on hold. Be glad you have the time to shower, cook, clean, love your husband, and watch TV without much stress or working about baby's schedule. Diapers, constant feedings, trying to stop the crying, dealing with family and friends when you are tired and hormonal.... You don't want to rush THAT STUFF, right?
Hang in there!

I totally felt that way with my second pregnancy - and we both know that there isn't much to do about it. And, I'm so sorry, but they don't go by fast :( I'd love to tell you what you want to hear, but I can't. Maybe if you think baby, you'll be happy to be pregnant again - decorate the room, shop for baby or join a mommy to be class - just keep busy thinking baby. Also - it gets easier to be pregnant on some levels as you progress - think happy thoughts!!

no girl, they feel like forever, but when your done. you wish you could still have the baby in you. but thank god it isnt because it is so uncomfortable! alot of it is your hormones. you need to think positive and even though you feel like ****, think about how right now its quite and you can get a little peace, in a couple months you're entire life is going to change and revolve around another life. because that life will depend on you an "NO ONE" else. mothers are exceptional for a reason. you must understand that many deep breaths are very nessesary! start reading. get informed. the worst part is the teenage years. giving birth is the easiest!

I know exactly how you feel.
I am 12 weeks but I have other kids and it seems like your last few months can't come quick enough. You are uncomfortable, don't sleep well, tired of running to the bathroom, etc, etc, etc,.
Don't worry you don't have much longer so just try to take it easy and enjoy the time you have prebaby LOL. I on the other hand have a long way to go.
Congrats by the way!!!
