I'm waddling, it's hard to get up off the couch and out of bed, can't find a good position at night, bending over is hard to do...

Yeah, I'm really starting to feel it. And I just found out my in-laws need babysitting again this week. I can't refuse them but I am so not looking forward to it. My nephew is almost walking now, but still needs to be lugged around.

I'm the opposite! I found it really hard to get used to the belly and the extra weight in the beginning, but now I think I've gotten used to it It seems to have gotten to where I was so awkward and big feeling I couldn't wait to be done with the pregnancy, and then poof one day I just felt a lot more at ease

I waddle and am uncomfortable, but I feel like an idiot, because I'm really not showing much at all... DH has gotten used to my moans and groans when I turn over in bed, too; it's such an ordeal, now.

I hear you. My belly is getting in the way now. I can't bend over, I have to bend at the knees to get something off the floor. Its driving me nuts.

[New Mama]

I don't really feel ungraceful yet (sure I'll get there eventually) but I am noticing a difference in the way I bend or lay or sit etc. Luckily I'm not all that big...yet.

I am there with ya hon!
I waddle, bump into things..when I reach into the dryer my belly turns the buttons on for the washing machine!
I cant reach things in the top of the cabinet anymore either..and clipping my toenails and shaving has become
an olympic event! lol DH makes fun of me. but oh man...I cant walk long anymore before my belly feels like a bowling
ball, my legs start hurting my lower back starts hurting and I get short of breath. I cant sit very long before my tail
bone starts hurting and I cant lay in any one position for long before my hips hurt or some limb falls asleep

and we still have 3 more months of this!
Oh but its worth it hehe

Yes I waddle, have a hard time getting up and have a really hard time getting comfortable at night. I have always been a stomach sleeper and you girls know that's out now. My back hurts all the time these days. You girls know anything to east that?

Oh I'm right there with all of you! But, I knew it was coming. The bigger I get, the more "graceful" I become. LOL. And SO off balance! The other day I was literally just walking through the doorway to our office. Not doing any tricks, no somersaults or anything, just WALKING and I knocked the side of my head HARD on the doorframe! WTH?! I turned around and went into our bedroom, leaned over the bed and just started crying. DH kept asking what happened, when I told him I could tell he wanted to laugh but I was crying so hard he just hugged me and then told me to lay down for a while. I was SUPER tired and the more tired I am, the more off balance I become. So I layed down for a couple hours and that seemed to help. Of coarse I still have a big goose egg on the side of my head.

I also cant bend at the waist anymore. I am constantly pulling something when trying to pick up DS. Thank goodness he's walking more steady these days! My hips and back always hurt. I cant hardly get up and down off the floor anymore.
The belly gets in the way of a lot of things and its not even CLOSE to being done growing! UGH.....I love being pregnant but goodness gracious.....is it almost over?!!?

Yep! :-) LOL I was just walking 2 weekends ago at Sears...minding my own business, Gabe was in front of me and I had a drink in my left hand and a couple bags in my right and in slow motion I felt myself fall...dropped the drink so I can brace my fall and had lemonade shooting up all over my hair/face and the floor....bruised up my knee and elbow! Not sure if it was just me out of whack or if I tripped on one of those tables they always have in the middle of the isle....??? So that was nice....like 5 employees rush over to me...I was probably like 50 ft to the door so I just wanted to get out of there...with my soaking wet hair and empty drink... :-( I was sooooo enjoying that Auntie Anne's lemonade too!!!

Other than that, I am kinda ok...don't waddle yet...have to bend at the knees though, no more at the waist...but if I was skinnier, I would definitely have a perfect basketball under my shirt....I am all belly in front.....I have to use the handicap bathroom stall at work since whenever I tried using the regular ones, the door scrapes my belly as I close it.....LOL

[Thank you God!]

I waddle and am uncomfortable, but I feel like an idiot, because I'm really not showing much at all... DH has gotten used to my moans and groans when I turn over in bed, too; it's such an ordeal, now.

I have been waddling for a couple of weeks now. Bending over is almost impossible now, and I only attempt to shave my legs when I have a doctors appointment.
