Congratulations for making it this far. You truly have accomplished a huge feat. And also? Congratulations on listening to your body and agreeing to stop when it wanted to. You will find other ways to keep moving, I have no doubt.

Only 7 weeks to go. Wow.

Virtual high five for making it to 33 weeks!

I think if you were able to run at 33 weeks, you aren't going to be as unweildy as you might think in the coming weeks.

Just listen to your body and trust what it's telling you to do / not do. You'll be fine. I only walked during my pregnancy, and I significantly cut back on distance and elevation towards the end, but I still felt like I was accomplishing something with each excursion. Think about it-- every time you go out there, you have more to carry, so you're working harder and harder, even if

I am thoroughly impressed with how far you've gotten! I hope you have as little discomfort as possible in the home stretch!

You've done awesome! Time to be easy on yourself. Keep up whatever work outs you need/can do, but remember that this is your last chance to rest, my dear. So do what you have to do, but sleep as much as possible, and lounge as much as possible (besides the exercise).... You'll regret it if you don't.

You really are my hero for the amazing fortitude you have shown throughout this pregnancy. You ROCK!

Chicklet -- You've really done a great job keeping your fitness level up throughout the pregnancy and it will pay off (it already has)!

Just keep listening to your body.

You Go Girl!

2009-09-27T19:43:29.047-07:00

I don't remember feeling uncomfortable (aside from 1 week) I actually felt smaller at the end because everything was so compact.

I think you're making the right decision.

And if you do gain don't worry too much - I lost almost 30lbs of baby gain in 5 weeks so it does come off if you're careful!

2009-09-27T19:02:44.556-07:00

I'm short. My daughter was a good size (almost 8 lb). I gained a fair amount of weight (top end of recommended). I was swollen every day even though I pretty much gave up salt entirely. I also walked every day, and the more hormonal or upset I was, the faster I walked. I felt huge, but I was never terribly uncomfortable. I was proud that I never needed assistance getting up from the

Good for you! You've done an amazing job and you know your body well enough to know when enough is enough and if something is too much. As for the end of pregnancy, it's different for everyone. I never swelled with Lemy and I had her at the height of summer. I was uncomfortable, bur I worked right until the end and my job is a fairly physical on your feet all day job. Your doing great and

WOW only 7 weeks to go! You are AWESOME! I can't believe you made it running this long...or maybe I can because it is you but you are just AMAZING. Good for you and I hope the next 7 weeks go very smoothly!

I bet you have an easier time of it than all those old wives.

In fact, I dedicate to you that old Frank Sinatra song:

"For what is a (wo)man, what has (s)he got?
If not herself, then she has naught.
To say the things she truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!"

Go Chicklet, Go!
I'm sure your water workouts will fit in nicely and will feel great as well. I know I am LOVING the pool these days.

2009-09-27T13:21:04.828-07:00

You are simply awesome. Don't buy into the whole "you'll be so uncomfortable" thing. Yeah, you might, but not necessarily. Not everyone feels that way (okay maybe not until like the last week). Especially if you keep up your activity level.

2009-09-27T12:00:55.283-07:00

Good for you for running so long! And people are wrong, not everyone swells or gets backaches. I have hip aches and no swelling at 34 weeks, hopefully it doesn't hit me all now that I've said that!

Good for you! And definitely keep at it. By the ...

2009-09-27T11:01:40.764-07:00

Good for you! And definitely keep at it. By the end I was just walking a ton and I used to say that I was walking her on down. I really think there was some truth to it.
