Q: Man I Need to Vent

so I am 24.3 weeks and man am I huge already. I hate complaining because it took me so long to get this baby and I feel really ungrateful moaning about it.... but jeez I am sooo uncomfortable and I dont understand I dont remembering being this bad this early with my other 2!!

Whenever I eat baby decides its time to dance and I end up eating just a few mouthfuls before I feel sick and full! I cant sit on a sofa comfortably anymore because as soon as I do I can feel something pushing up in the right side of my ribs and after a while its so painful!! I know it cant be the baby because its not big enough but somethings doing it!! My friend came round the other day and I had to just sit in the dining room on a hard chair the whole time!

The evenings are the worst for some reason baby moves more at this time and I seem to be getting loads of braxton hicks then too. Belly always seems to be rock hard which again means its impossible to get comfortable!!

I know this is normal pregnancy stuff but is it normal at 24weeks?? All I keep thinking is I still have 16 weeks to go...oh my!!

and to make matters worse I have a neighbour who always seems to be in his garden and whenever I go out to put the washing out or play with the boys he always chants 'fattie fattie fattie' at me... what a tosser!!

Thanks for listening to me moan.. I would say its been a bad week but its only monday lol!!

Oh Jolie girl....I'm sorry your so uncomfortable and that you have a neighbour that seems to be completely rude, and you should throw a stone at him!!!!!!!! (just kidding! Wink )
I'm not sure what to tell you?! I unfortuantly have no advice since I am having baby #1 and I am only at 19 weeks, but I'm sure the other girl's here will gove you some suggestions?!!!!!
Feel better and I hope that the rest of your week goes much better for you!
Hugs!!!! Wink

Ugh! I know that feeling! When I had my 2nd baby I weighed in at 179 pounds (I am 5 feet tall and usually weigh 105). It was June and disgustingly hot out. I tried to plant some stuff in my garden, but I couldn't reach the ground! I still remember laying on my couch with my big fat feet up in the air and bawling my eyes out. One thing that really helped was prenatal yoga. It couldn't cure my size problem, but it sure helped with the digestion and aches and pains. The good news-I lost it all in about 6 months. Thanks to breastfeeding, I guess. And a great pair of rollerskates. I feel for you. Don't worry though. You can't stay preggers forever!

Yeah, wait until when you are walking it feels like you have a big huge stick up your bum. With every step you are convinced that he/she is going to fall out of there.
Pregnancy was lovley
