Thought I would start this up...mostly bc I want to bitch

Last week, I had some upsetting news that ended up with me seeing a specialist this Friday and switching OBs. Since then I have developed a rash over my whole body.

Went to my allergist...no clue. Called my new OB...no clue. Went to the Dermatologist...still no clue!!

I'm so itchy and benadryl is doing nothing! Guessing it's either stress or a gluten reaction (I'm Celiac).

Also, fun story at the dermatologist. Ya know, how your nipples so funny things during pregnancy? Well, I developed a mole/discoloration on one. I was going to ask my OB about it next week but I had a feeling she would say "go see a dermatologist". Since I was alrwady there for the rash I mentioned it to the nurse to get double checked. Well, the new PA comes in and he is HOT! Yep! Totally showed off my nipple to the cute new PA! To make it worse, I had to do it twice...he wanted to get a closer look with his microscope!

Oh geez well I hope you stop itching soon @laurendutch‌ !

As for me, today I'm peeing a LOT (which isn't really new at all) and baby is kicking soooo much! She's been super active the last few days. I'm 25w2d and I'm starting to wonder if now is the time to start keeping track of them... I'll have to call OB

ETA: oh, also nipple discharge. I'm hoping all this leakiness means breast feeding will come easily for me!

I am also itchy all over, especially my belly. I have really bad eczema on my hands that won't go away no matter what I do. I'm assuming I'm itchy all over because of the eczema even though I lotion up every day and I drink plenty of water. It's an awful feeling and wakes me up at night. I feel for you!

I am super tired today. Had a hard time sleeping last night cause I felt nauseous and now I'm paying for it. Just have to make it thru class and I can go home and take a nap before work later.

Get tested for strep! I was in the hospital for 11 days. No one could figure out what was going on. I was covered and it itches so bad it hurt. Turns out it was strep and I never had regular symptoms.

I'm having crazy bladder pain and my little guys movements are so painful. It hurts my feelings to think I just want him to stay still for a little while.

@devyns2nd I can relate to feeling guilty about wanting baby to sit still! I adore feeling DD kick when it's just against my skin, but lately she's discovered how to kick my bladder and other uncomfortable places... not fun! I hope she's enjoying herself because I certainly am not!

Just finished cleaning the house so dust = snotty nose and picking a lot of stuff up and carrying = back pain.

That story about the hot PA and the nipple was great :>

Good thinking! I'm at the family Dr now to rule out any viruses! I've had scarlet fever twice in my life, so it will be good to rule that out!

I worked overnight last night....... Had a labor patient who all she could care about was how everything was taking her spray tan off............. So annoying. I don't give a shit about your spray tan.... There's about to be a baby coming out of you...... And ok back to me.... Fell at work really hard on my back when a Dr. Accidentally pulled a chair out from under me. Been worried about my nugget. Other than that crappy day I'm good!

@devyns2nd‌ I feel the same way!! Getting out of bed was such a struggle because of the pain. I love to feel the
Movement but oh my gosh can he just take a nap!

I have been having what I guess is heartburn, and a very sharp, but kind of constant and dull pain on my upper left rib cage, just below my breast. I've found the most helpful advice has been to stop drinking anything when I eat... But since I need a snack every 2 hours, I have not been drinking as much water as before... So now I am getting leg cramps in place of heart burn! Trying to find the right balance of eating and drinking at intervals, staying both hydrated and satiated. Am 25 weeks tomorrow.

Have also been having lots of dreams about having a girl (we are Team Green). So the OWT say I should expect a hairy boy, I guess... ;-)

Same here ladies!! I love the movement, and would like to get a good night's sleep, but I find that's when she's really active, kicking on the bladder and it keeps me awake! Guess I should get used to it....

A friend whose girl is due any day now said all her baby dreams are gender neutral! Pregnancy dreams are sooo weird, who knows...

I keep having dreams the tech was wrong and my little boy comes out a little girl. I can't wait until my next US just to check again.

I've been having a lot of really sore and hurting nipples...especially in the cold. And the backaches and sore hips have been especially bad this past week. I dread going to sleep cause I wake up so sore

Not a symptom. Just a random that I needed to put somewhere. My Girl Scout cookies came today. Dear god I've already had so many. This is bad guys, real bad.
