Moms who are 28 weeks along- how are you feeling?

Question

I will be 28 weeks along as of Tuesday ! It feels like over the last two weeks I’ve gotten soooo tired, like a bone deep exhaustion that hits around 1 pm everyday and has me crawling to bed. Back and hip pain were my early pregnancy symptoms, but now the pressure is so intense that even rotating in bed feels like I’ve just come out of a split for hours, I now actively request that my husband put counter pressure on my hips when I walk as it feels like I’m in a hamstring stretch just standing up.

My family always comment on how big my bump is, even at six months people guess I’m about nine months pregnant, I’ve gained roughly 25 lbs so far and with a short torso, my bump sticks wayyyy out. The pants I bought a month ago that I naively forecasted would fit through my third trimester are now too tight 😭

Overall I’m so excited to be entering the final months of pregnancy, curious to see how other moms around 28 weeks are faring 😊
