Everything is Suddenly an Effort!

[EllieBelle]

Over the last couple of days I have noticed my new shaped body is starting to struggle.......walking the dog is becoming exhausting, although I still walk her every day - I need to sit down when I get home, and getting over the stiles in the fields is much harder than it used to be.

Then yesterday we went to look for a new car for DH and I sat in one and could hardly get out as it was fairly low (I'm used to 4x4's)......I felt like a baby elephant!!

All of a sudden Im definitely starting to feel very large and very pregnant!

Anyone else starting to struggle more?

I know what you mean! My OH has a car with the sports bucket seats and I need a push from behind to get out the car!
Getting off the sofa and out of bed is a big heave and even walking up the stairs to work i'm out of breath when I get to my desk!! I feel so unfit!
kinda worries me when i'm only 21 weeks and have another 10+ to go

Your not alone. Our sofa is fairly low and trying to get up off it, it is quite a struggle, I have to manoeuvre my body in order to get up comfortably. And just getting out of bed or turning over is quite a trial!

I remember when I was carrying my DD I really struggled to walk anywhere, and I can see the same is happening again, this time it's more difficult though as normally I'll be pushing a buggy with a very heavy toddler sat in it!!

I sometimes think if I didn't have the pram to hold onto I'd never make it home!
Wish it could push itself uphill though

Yeah I know how you feel.. I was just thinking that today.. have some of these

I'm with you too.... I feel like i can hardly do anything.
I have to walk up and down one flight of stairs at work, a few times a day, and I am exhausted when I get to the top!!
Hauling myself out of bed also a problem....

 

[mum2be?]

yep i am the same, find it takes me bit longer to move now from chair/bed

I am exactly the same! I get so out of breath going up the stairs it's embarassing! I get really really stiff too like if I have been around tescos or something I come in totally knackered needing to sit down and then slowly seaze up! lol I feel like an elephant, I am quite short anyway (not quite 5'1") so i'm all out front and people keep asking me if i am sure there is only 1 in there which really p*sses me off! And I get really angry too - all in all I'd say I'm not that good a advertisement for pregnancy lol xx

ive only just started to notice how much more of an effort things are! getting up is getting increasingly difficult. and i keep forgetting i have a small bump and keep bumping into door frames and the kitchen sides they say you get clumsy in pregnancy but add that on top of an already clumsy person and you have disaster
