Is being pregnant like being overweight/obese?

I don't mean to be offensive with my question at all but I am seriously curious if pregnancy in the 3rd trimester is like being overweight or obese. It's so physically demanding it's hard to do things like shave, put clothes on, move around, exercise, even walk. I'm at the point where I want to only clean and lay in the floor I am so drained and tired and so cranky because I can not perform tasks I used to and I'm just wondering if this IS what it's like to be overweight. If so I can totally understand why it can be so hard for anyone to lose weight or get active...Please do not be offended by this I don't care what size someone is. It just matters that they are happy and think they are beautiful.

    i have never been obese. but i do know its hard to do things in the end. you have no energy, sometimes i could barely put on socks. just think of it this way... once your babys out it will only be a few weeks until you are back to your normal self :)

    I carried 3 children to full term and toward the end I did not have as much energy as I had before the pregnancy but never reached a point where I could not keep up with my housework,

    Its so very unhealthy for obese people and I know they have a difficult time but pregnancy would not compare to this.
