Feeling heavier...

So...we are almost 28wks.  And I swear,I feel heavier every day.  Today, I am sure that I am gonna fall down from carrying this lil load around. And to think...she will only get bigger.  Right now...I feel her pressing on my bladder and rectum.  Every time I stand up....its a load.  She has been head down for weeks...but dang!  Not so much pressure as just weight.  Anyone else or is it just me?

I feel the same way.  This baby is gaining weight and mommy's uterus feels heavier and heavier every day.  I feel sore and my little girl prefers my bladder and kidneys.  my baby's head down too!

At work they laugh because we call it the 3pm baby...i become a slow crawl by 3pm everyday, not matter what time I started.  I feel like I am working out from the time I start everyday.  I do wear a binder most days, which has help to get me to the late afternoon....but still exhausting.  Sad thing, I am at my desk 75% of the time at work...but just sitting it's like constantly lifting weights. 

My understanding...it only gets worse... 

Yes...I am feeling it too.  Today, I am having some shooting pains very low in my pelvic area, vaginal  and my rectum area.  I have also noticed that after I urinate and stand up...there is like this dropping/pressure feeling.  I think that it is because my bladder was somewhat supporting my uterus, but then when I empty it...my uterus drops again.


Oh...the joys of pregnancy!!!!!

Thats exactly it! I'm a little worried about it, but I figure its normal.  I am just not comfortable at all anymore.

yup...definitely feeling heavier and a lot slower these days. I'm 27 weeks today. I work as a property manager so I am constantly walking on the property, climbing stairs and all that fun stuff. I have had lots of low pressure myself. I do have a fairly large apron of skin hanging too so that doesn't help the heavy feeling at all. I don't know if she is head down or not...I'm pretty sure she flips on a regular basis.

Hi Ann ...Oooh, yeah. I remember when Lydia really dropped, it was like my entire center of gravity shifted to accomidate her! It was crazy, and I felt like I got so much heavier! I hope the rest of your pregnancy is comforable for you!
