Thatās why we are considered ādisabledā at 36+ weeks! At least in California we are allowed out of work because itās literally so physically and mentally taxing to be pregnant at this point, i feel like every hour i run a marathon. Today i was cleaning and washing the car seat textiles and reinstalling the car seats and it truly felt like an Olympic sport. My dad even jokingly asked me if i needed an oxygen tank because i was just huffing and puffing around with normal daily tasks. Being pregnant is HARD! Especially the last few weeks. I would recommend getting a BP cuff at home and checking it at home to monitor it closely, but alot of the symptoms you describe can happen with OR without preeclampsia. Hang in there, youāre almost at the finish line! And as always, trust your gut and advocate for yourself ā¤ļøā¤ļø
I was feeling very similar to you a couple weeks ago (Iām also 35 weeks pregnant) and I ended up cutting out sugar and simple carbs, I feel soooo much better now! Like insanely good itās crazy to even compare the amount of energy and pain I was feeling prior and now Iām back to nesting comfortably and going on walks getting good sleep and feeling fairly normal during the day obviously Iām still pregnant lol and feeling the pelvic pressure from her and all the other fun pregnancy things but the things you listed I was having an issue with now Iām not. I would totally recommend you try it if you can!

Iād get a blood pressure monitor from Walmart and check it frequently throughout the day. That is what Iām doing. Iām also 35 weeks, but have been in bed rest since last week due to my blood pressure being all over the place. Good luck!
