I am 35 weeks along, I feel like I am burning up. I am in Germany and to be comfortable the room has to be about 60 degrees. I feel sick too. I took my temperature a few times and it is normal. It only fluctuates one degree. I am so irritated with everyone and I can't sleep because of the restless legs and heat that doesn't exsist. Help

Welcome to the third trimester! Lol! Hold on hon, you'll soon have the baby in your arms and forget all about the uncomforts and irritabilities. It's worse for some than others, like everything else. But, something that helped me was a fan on me, with a boppy or pillow under my tummy, laying on my side, with a cold compress on my head and back of neck...darken the room too! If you need any other help, just drop a line... Good Luck! and Congrats!

Welcome to pregnancy. The last 5 weeks are a *****. You feel just irritable and you just want it all to be over with. If you have a pool around you, I suggest going for a few dips....it takes the weight off your back and stomach and it just feels so relaxing and COOL. Try stuffing a pillpw between your legs at night. It takes some weight off too and allows you a little more comfort to sleep. And, if that doesn't work, what always helped me calm my nervous legs was getting up and taking a walk around the house. Hang in there, just a few more weeks and trust me......the 40 weeks of body changing and hormone fluctuation is sooooo worth it. God bless you.

Sounds mostly like hormones and irritability from that, BUT the other possibility at 35 weeks is a spike in your blood pressure. That would also make you feel hot and moody. If you can take your blood pressure at home or at one of the pharmacy clinics or even stop past the doctor's office for a minute, do that just to make sure it's in check. Otherwise, unfortunately I think you may just have to wait it out until after birth when things "kinda" get back to normal.

this is perfectly normal! You have a short amount of time to go anywhere between 2 & 5 weeks, I gave birth at 37, 39, 42 weeks 42 was the worst being overdue ahh made me miserable and ready to hurt someone lol
You are almost done, hang in there.
Is there anything you can do outside? maybe go for short walks to prepare your body and get your hips moving to help ease labor when it starts?
You shouldnt keep yourself in, try to be active and enjoy the time you have left with some family time or going out with a few friends for dinner, (not the annoying ones LOL) you will be in after the baby is born lol.
restless legs are the worst, Ive had them times three, try some banana's before you go to bed, that seemed to work for me for a short while, anything with potassium will help with your legs, lots of water and try to stray away from salts and sodas they seem to make it much worser. You can also lay in the bath tub with warm water and soak your legs it will relieve some of the pain for a short amount of time
I used to eat 2 banana's and hop in the tub and when I got out I would put heating pads on my calfs it would give me a good night sleep with out the painful legs.
Good Luck and I hope you feel better!

This would be nature's way of letting you know that you are about to have a baby. I heard that when women become restless, irritable and get hot/cold flashes close to the end of their pregnancy, this means that delivery is somewhere in the near future. Congrats.

Drink a lot of cold water and stay hydrated. If you continue to feel ill call the doctor. You can have someone check your blood pressure. The last few weeks are miserable. It's almost over hang in there.

Take a nice warm bath, add some bubbles, ...light some candles...drink 1/2 glass of red wine... mommy needs some attention, then tomorrow go down have a pedicure, manicure, and get your hair cut... make it happen... The red wine will not harm the child, My dr. told me to do the same to take the edge of... I have restless leg syndrome, but it is due to my Primary Pulmonary Hypertension...

Your hormones are just haywire. You only have a few weeks left until you have your baby...just stick it out...it will be worth it. I'm a mother of a 2 1/2 year old, and am 17 weeks pregnant...I have bad circulation problems...my right arm goes numb, and my hand feels like a semi truck is laying on it......I deal with it though..it will be worth it I know.

I agree with everyone - you are just getting ready to have a baby - it may be miserable right now but it will all be worth it in the end. Best wishes to you!
