How is your body treating you today ladies?

SO has a cold so I get it of course. Dogsitting for my sister so she decidesI need to be awake at 530 in the morning. I have a sneeze attack and pee myself three times already and it's not even 7 yet...
Also I get an irrational fear that something is wrong when the baby sleeps almost all day when usually shedIs a jumping bean.

Ugh I'm so tired! I had to get up early to schedule some stuff at exactly 6am and now I can't go back to sleep

I'm also starving all the time. I can't quit eating cereal and thinking about pancakes and waffles.

Last night I noticed my legs where wicked swollen. Ugh. This morning I once again have my normal ankles back.

But mostly today I'm feeling grateful to still be pregnant. Woohoo!

I think I'm freaking myself out a little. Went to bed last night not really feeling the baby move (21weeks) and trying to sit perfectly still seeing if he/she is moving now. I think it is...? I just had my 20 week scan and all was well and have my monthly visit on Friday. I'm sure all is well. Other than that happy Tuesday everyone!!

My left shoulder and arm are killing me... slept wrong or something. Just a constant dull ache. Woke up from it at 2:30, never got back to sleep.

@Jessica16393 ... I get irrational fears too. Baby is quiet during the day, more active in evenings and night. But all day I worry lol

Jessica16393

That gif is absolutely horrifying..

I was all ready to complain but seeing that it could be way worse has me very emotional.

I did vomit again this morning and had terrible heartburn all night, but I'll take that over other alternatives

I felt baby KICKS Sunday night for the FIRST TIME!!! Yay! It was so exciting as they bounced across my belly! Felt movement around 16 weeks but this was different. There is definately a ninja nesting in my tummy.

Was excited and hoping to feel kicks again last night or this morning, but just feeling flutters. Still exciting but am looking forward to feeling those bumps again!

I actually slept, woke up once to pre. It was glorious until I got up for work and thought it was first tri all over again... Now to not stress about the shit storm at work...

DS1 had me up from 230-330, so I'm feeling extra sleepy today.

Add dry heaves into the mix and I'm having a stellar day!

Awwww. DS just put on his play doctor coat and is giving me a check up bc I told him I don't feel well.

Soo I was doing fine and now my blood pressure just spiked. I had the blood test to rule out Spina Bifida and I just got a call that my numbers were on the high side. Not super high, but still higher then normal.  Im sitting at work currently freaking out and I cant get in tough with DH to talk to him. Thankfully I have my 20 week ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow as it is, but im still a mess right now. I really wish she would of just said come in today for an ultra sound so that we can rule it out.  Does anyone know if these test can run a false positive like some of the other tests do??

It seems like my stomach hurts every morning I wake up. I do sleep with a snoogle/body pillow, and do my best sleep on my side, but every morning I wake up with gas and stomach pain. I don't know if it's due to everything getting smushed from my growing uterus, or what, but it's really irritating. I make sure I don't eat right before I go to bed either.

Mayo Clinic says "most mothers who have positive blood tests have healthy babies." I hope you get some relief tomorrow at your A/S!

Felt our girl kick from the outside for the first time last night! It was freakin cool!

thelittlestbee

According to my DH, I've started snoring. 

I think he's full of shit.

Thank you. im still freaking out a bit, my DH has tired to calm me down and much as he can over the phone.  Ive been at work for over 2 hours this morning and really have not done much of anything yet today...its going to be a long day!

I'm sick of feeling miserable so I am going for a massage today!!! Yay!!! Aches in my tailbone. Chin rash/acne. Gotta love it! Realllllly wish I could feel him move! Soon ...

briafields94

I'm still having this "problem" where I get full so fast when I do eat. I don't know if it's s actual problem but I will ask my OB when I go back for my 20 week check up.

My knee pain makes it harder to sleep & my boobs are huge and they hurt so bad omg...

Other than that I'm feeling my baby move more & that's exciting!

Edited b/c quote box fail - trying to reply to dkleid!

If you had the AFP or quad, they are both still just screenings - not diagnostic. As someone who had a "false positive" first tri screen, I can totally relate to the panic though. Like above, Mayo says, even with wonky results, most of the bubs are just fine. Sending you some good juju for that scan tomorrow

We finally got a kick yesterday night - and it was ninja style too! DH just happened to be resting his hand on my belly, and he jumped when our little guy made himself known. I'm surprised to be feeling movement already since I'm only 18 1/2 weeks with bub #1...but that was definitely not gas haha!

I've finally entered the realm of can't-get-comfy-in-bed, so I'm contemplating one of those snoogle pillows to see if it helps. Otherwise, I just feel like a stuffed balloon and can't get used to the bump! I keep walking into things...

I hoping for some more smooth moves from bub this evening too So stoked!!

I've become a super light sleeper, so last night my neurotic dogs starts crying and hubby flies up out of bed(he's an active sleeper) and starts mumbling shit. I sat there and rubbed his back trying to calm him down. Of course he's out like a light and I couldn't fall back asleep.

crikit83

Uterus is feeling super front-heavy, I guess the kid likes to hang out there? It feels like I do all my growing and stretching in one week, where stuff constantly feels weird, and then I have a few weeks where I'm back to normal (or maybe have just gotten used to it). Then rinse and repeat.

Also, the swamp crotch, oy. The past two days, it's been a little more mucousy than usual, and maybe a teeny bit yellowish. No itching, or smell, or other weirdness though. I'm also more mucousy in general - finally over the whole flu + bronchitis nightmare, but I still have what my mother refers to as "the creeping crud."

@flogirl82 I don't have a pillow either, but I roll up a smaller blanket (towel would work) and put it against my backside. This stops me from sleeping flat on my back most nights. I'll often wake up and switch sides throughout the night, but it's been pretty successful!

Currently fighting a sinus infection. Ugh! But baby girl is kicking away!

SO tired this week....Ive been in bed early every day but waking up so exhausted and hard to get out of bed. Work has not been fun this week at all. My boss bought me an exercise ball office chair that I am now using when my back hurts and it is amazing, I love it.

Had my doctors appt and the nurse said "WHOA that was quite a jump in your weight since last visit!"....Thanks lady! I've only gained 10lbs total so far at 20 weeks which seems like a healthy amount but 6.6 lbs of that was in the last month....oops. I don't see the gain slowing down at this point though and I don't really care either because I'm hungry dammit! Perhaps less poutine and more veggies....

My ears hurt!! Am I the only one?! I asked my OB about it at my last appointment and she said its normal but I have never heard of anyone else having this problem.. Its a pressure that goes all the way from my inner ear to the back of my throat. Feels like when you're scuba diving and you come up to fast and your ears don't pressurize properly. Anyone else feeling something similar? I think I might go get a second opinion from a GP because it's driving me crazy!

Yup, DH told me the same thing. Also that I have "extra saliva" and my mouth is "weird in the morning now". Thaaaanks buddy.

Had our AS this morning and, apparently, I am actually pregnant. There was a healthy, wiggling, still growing ahead of the curve (EDD June 14 based on conception, but June 9 based on size) baby in there.  And we confirmed the genetic screening was right and that he's definitely a boy.  It still feels completely abstract and not real to me though. 

I know. I look at our u/s pictures every day, and down at my stomach and still think no way... Even when I feel him kick it's like whaaaat? So unreal.

I would love some extra saliva. Especially in the mornings after a night of fantabulous mouth breathing. I can't wait to get back on my good allergy drugs!

Finally feeling good. Got a ton of sewing projects done yesterday, which lead to back aches and that constant hip pain. But I slept like a baby.. then woke up this morning with 2 sick kids and a head cold for myself as well... we had a nice bum day.

Emilyy93

Nothing body related, but my other half has drained my patience & energy today, so feeling so tired now. been trying to list things to get baby, when I bring up dummies he out right refused them & stated his first daughter didn't have one so this daughter won't either, he won't even listen to reason. Arrgggh he can be so stubborn!.

janat1717

My hips have been aching each morning around 4. Fine once I'm up. I assume that it is just from me sleeping on side so much more? Also my calves have been cramping at night once in a while and kind of ache during the day. No amount of foam rolling is fixing this. Drinking plenty of water but seems to be a symptom that just happens

esampson1983

Woke up with a headache this morning. I think I'm just having sinus issues.

Minion is definitely kicking today. I stayed at work 15 minutes late.(usually I stay longer) and he started kicking. I took that as my cue to head home for the night! >:D<

finchfeeder80

I'm pretty fucking nauseous after reading about what these asshat admins have done to our moderators. Eat a bag of dicks, admins.

My OBGYN confirmed that I have symphysis pubic dysfunction at my appt today. Bummer. I was hoping it was magically something else that could be relieved while pregnant

He will likely change his tune when the new one comes -- some babies refuse them, too. And hospitals will usually give you a few to start with...all babies are different


As for symptoms - I am now having an almost constant low mild cramping -- doctor keeps checking and says all is fine - but it is scary and makes me anxious.

I also can't stop eating junk food and that combined with not being able to exercise is going to mean I start looking like I'm growing this baby in my a$$!

I also just got woken up by an alert (for some reason I thought it was smart to put my ob office as a contact that can go through my "sleep mode" - so my test results are back, but I can't get them from bed.

And DS1 just came to our room to ask me when I was going to feed him breakfast because I'm always tired and he has to wait in the morning for me to wake up. I told him 4 was a little early - but thanks for the guilt trip kid :-(
