Anyone around 23 weeks pregnant, and how do you feel?

Question

Sometimes I feel good, most days I hate being pregnant because I do not feel like myself. I get dizzy, I get sick, my heart races. Does anyone else have all sorts of things happening like this. Please tell me your experiences, it may help my worries! Thanks:)

Answer 1

Well I'm 26 weeks. My heart races also and i have terrible shortness of breath. My back hurts and I'm hungry all the time and the round ligament pain is no fun. I am so happy I'm pregnant though, i really can not complain. Every time I feel those little kicks it makes it all worth it for me. Plus counting down the weeks until i get to hold him in my arms definitely helps!

Answer 2

I'm 24w today.  I feel good most of the time.  My legs are starting to swell about midday now, so I have put a box of paper under my desk so I can keep my feet up.  

Answer 3

I am 23 weeks 3 days today and I feel great. Most of the time I am really tired because I work all day and then I go home to my 18 month old who drags me everywhere! Most people say that in your second trimester you should feel great, but who knows huh! Hang in there & congrats to you! :)

Answer 4

well the good days and bad days are normal. to be honest everything u say is going on is normal and i have them to

Answer 5

I'm 20 weeks and I feel the same as you. In fact my nausea is at an all time high. I have no energy and I cant get comfortable in any laying down position. I hope it subsides soon... Congrats & Good luck!!

Answer 6

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and I can and will say the I do not enjoy pregnancy, somethings are nice, but as a whole package i don't think I want to do this again. I feel like I have a worst-case scenario pregnancy, or like the world lies about pregnancy (maybe it's something in prenatal pills or the epidural that makes you think pregnancy is great). I have not felt like myself in weeks, vomiting everyday- STILL, dizzy spells, getting kicked in the bladder, fainting, trouble breathing, heartburn...I don't know how I can honestly say this is good. I went through a week where it all seemed cute and worth it, but I'm over that, and I'm ready for pregnancy to be over.

Answer 7

I'm glad you said something about your heart racing!  I was getting worried because sometimes I can just 'feel' it beating out of my chest, and this is when i'm just sitting down? I've also been having this weird breathing thing, I'll breath fine most of the day but every once in a while I'll like gasp for breath or breathe in and shudder.  I'm not sure if that makes sense...but I'm assuming it's pregnancy related!

By the way...I'm 25 wks 4 days.  :)

Answer 8
