32 weeks pregnant here and getting really uncomfortable, not to mention I feel totally unprepared. I dread going to work mostly because I hate waking in the am and getting dressed is a nightmare, any words or wisdom of how to get by the next 8 weeks? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

You are not going to like this. Enjoy this time. Seriously. For the next few years showering will become optional (some days teeth brushing will be an achievement) and waking in the am (as opposed to 3x during the pm) will be a delight. [ Reply | More

don't let her scare you - I got MUCH more sleep when the baby came than before. Trust your natural parenting instincts will kick in, read What to Expect, take a Prep for Childbirth class (the one that tells you about all the options, not just natural), and talk to other moms - you will be fine!

I remember going out to dinner with my DH for the first time when db was 3 mos old. My breasts were leaking, hair unwashed, belly flabby and awful clothes since nothing fit...sorry, I looked great fat 'n pregnant in comparison. [ Reply | More

I slept better once db was born. After 35 weeks, I was up every hour to pee. After db was born, dh and I traded feedings so I got to sleep for a few hours a time, [ Reply | More

ITTA. I remember feeling like this and wish someone had given me this advice. I have 3 kids and wouldn't mind at all 'trading places' for a day to be 39 weeks pregnant with #1. I thought waking in the middle of the night to pee was disruptive to my sleep....that is nothing compared to having to clean up dc's vomit at 2 am [ Reply | More

I had the same problems last year. just get through it any way you can. I wore pretty much the same thing every day: tank top, skirt, cardigan and flip flops (in a conservative office). watch a good birthing dvd (we got one from amazon that was not scary: maybe the "live love laugh" series?). pregnancy was hard for me, but motherhood is very, very different (also hard, but awesome). you'll get through it fine.
