I know I have less than 100 days until she's here, but I am SO sick of being pregnant.
I get tired all the time, I'm starting to waddle I'm so huge, I eat like 10 times a day (small meals, but still), everyone thinks they have a right to touch my belly without asking me if it's okay, Lily likes to kick when I'm trying to sleep, and I'm sick of all these damn mood swings.
Anyone else feeling this way?

I think every single woman can relate to that! Hang in there, you won't be pregnant forever and the reward will be well worth it!
As for people touching you, in my last pregnancy I was a LOT more aggressive (I swatted a lady's hand) about people not touching me.

empty_promises everyone thinks they have a right to touch my belly without asking me if it's okay That's one of the (many) parts of pregnancy I'm dreading. I hate being touched by people I'm not extremely close to and I just know that my sister-in-law won't keep her hands off me. I think I may just get in the habit of carrying around a ladle to bash people's knuckles with like my grandma used to do with cookies before dinner. I hear it's extremely common to just want it to be over. Not just to be done with all the bigness and such, but even just to finally be able to see and hold your baby. But it's almost over! And then you won't have as much of an excuse to eat a lot...

I can definitely relate to that. Thankfully I haven't had the problem of random people wanting to touch my belly. They'll usually ask first. The only one that really bothers me with trying to touch my belly all the time is my sister, and that's because she swears pushing on my belly button will make the baby come out. xd
Not being able to breathe or sleep through the night is what's really getting to me though. It's starting to feel like he's trying to come out my side. >.<;; It's usually the reason I wake up through out the night, seeing as it is quite painful. If it's not the pain, my bladder is too dang full and I have to rush to the bathroom.
I'm currently 3 days away from my due date, and it definitely feels like I'm going to be pregnant forever. I know for a fact that I've already started dialating. It just seems like my body wants to take it's sweet time now. -_-'

I'm just in the middle, so I'm loving the experience at this point in time, but there are times I just wish it'd hurry up so I can get on with things again! Thankfully, I can still sleep on my tummy (with something propped against my lower stomach, either my hand or a pillow) and my baby doesn't kick me too much when I'm actually sleeping, just before I fall asleep and when I get up in the mornings. (Probably telling me off for laying on my back. xd )
136 days to go. The time never seems to decrease. rofl

I get really crazy kicks where it looks like a softball coming out of my belly and moving around--they're not really kicks, more like the muchkin's exploring in that direction looking for a way out. I'm definitely very ready to be not pregnant any more. It was fun for a while, but I'm really missing certain things, like sleeping on my stomach, playing DDR, being able to cuddle with my husband w/o the watermelon between us, and stuff like that.

I do like a couple things now, like being able to sit and know that I have no reason to be self-conscious about my tummy bulge! When I'm not pregnant and have folds/bulges when I sit, that's different! And I like that ALL the baby's needs are currently being taken care of without me having to do anything, like feed it, rock it, change it; plus I can't hear any crying, so yay!
But I'm totally uncomfortable and it's hard to walk, and I can't stand getting contractions in the middle of the night which push on my bladder and make me have to get up, because I often can't fall asleep again for hours! At least pregnancy isn't going as slowly now as it was during the nausea/vomiting part! That lasted forever!

Great way to look on the positive side of things, Mystic. I'm trying to do that as well, as best as I can at this point. I won't be pregnant forever, and we may not have anymore after this, so this could be my last chance with this particular experience. I'll be able to do all those other things I want to do for most the rest of my life.

»» I'm only 14 weeks pregnant, and i feel shitty already. The morning sickness is gone, which i am happy about! I can never get comfortable when it's time to sleep though. It takes me up to an hour or two every night to try and fall asleep, it gets so tiring. My back is starting to hurt at times and i still haven't gotten used to bending and squatting properly.

Oh my god, I couldn't stand people touching me.
All these little old ladies in Georgia would come up and touch my stomach, and I'd step backwards away from them. They usually got the hint (and then gave me dirty looks and walked away).
I'm not pregnant, but two of my friends are. One is 39 weeks tomorrow, and the other is 31 weeks pregnant with TWINS. They're both insanely miserable.
Once pregnancy isn't new and fun anymore, it's just tedious!

I can definitely relate! At this point I have this constant pain (sometimes sharp) just below my sternum. At first it felt like there was an invisible bruise there, now it just hurts all the time. It's from the muscles in that area stretching and tearing from the growth. I wish it would quit, but I don't think it will until after the baby's born (end of October). I've been pretty lucky as far as people not really touching my belly very much (except my husband, which is ok because he's welcome to). Only one other person has touched my tummy, but she asked first. Here is a great little article I found a few months ago about the issue! I especially love the last suggestion ^_^ My biggest thing concerning other people is this. There is this guy at our church who is our friend, and a really nice guy. He's helped us out a lot. But every Sunday when we see him, he always comments about the size my belly is getting. I know it's not something I should be ashamed of at all, and I'm not, but it's just that I'm very self-conscious about it. I've always been very tiny (size 0 jeans with room to spare), so I'm not used to people commenting on how big I am. It makes me very uncomfortable when he exclaims about how "outstanding" I'm getting. It's taken a toll on my already low self-esteem, and I don't feel comfortable wearing anything that shows that I have any kind of a belly at all. I have some nice maternity shirts, but I just can't bring myself to wear them because I'm so afraid of people commenting about it. I find myself wearing my husband's pants and baggy t-shirts more than my maternity clothes, not because they fit better, but simply because they hide my belly better. On top of that, I feel like I can't say anything about it, because I know everyone will just say "oh it's natural! You don't need to be self conscious about it! You look fine" and the like. sad
