Can anyone cry with me this morning that we can't have a margarita today?! Aggggggh........cinco de mayo I will get you next year!!!! . :P
Also does anyone else like to wake their husbands up at 4 am just so they can participate in the experience of pregnancy joys...... This cat is me.
My gurgle stomach/bowels are so weird and out of control. Hemorrhoid (just one I think) lol. Reflux.

Worst symptom ever. My stretch marks on the underside of my thighs... Sometimes I stare at them for long periods of time because I refuse to believe that they are there. I'm secretly hoping this whole experience is some sort of Harry potter weird magic shit and that things will be back to normal soon. Ha!

Woke up with heartburn... thankfully DH had to leave early for an audit so he brought me some zantec and water. Now trying to get comfortable before actually getting out of bed - easier said than done! I might just get up and deal with being up early (for me - I know 6:30 is normal for a lot of people!).

I woke up at 3:00 with serious cramping so I had to just walk around for a bit. Tinkle breaks were more frequent as well. DH said oh you were only up three times. Excuse me.... No it was more like 5 but who's counting... Good news is that yesterday I was checked and I am officially 1cm dilated... Yes I realize I could walk around like that for weeks but due date is the 1st so that was at least encouraging to see some progress in the right direction. Tonight should be interesting. Every day symptoms change
Edited for spelling

@klkonwi I will cry about no margarita with you! My DH tried to tell me if I drank a virgin one I might trick myself into feeling buzzed...lol. Don't think it works that way. I fell asleep with a head ache and it's still here. The good news...I slept!!! Happy Cinco de Mayo ladies!!!

Fml.
Non. Stop. Dry. Coughing. All. Day. Every. Day. Today is the day to call my doctor. Such bs. I'm gonna push this baby out 6 weeks early with the amount of abdominal work I'm doing coughing.
Pregnancy stuff - lost in the shuffle of my nonstop coughing. Oh, I can pee and then 10 minutes later be pissing myself while coughing. That's pleasant.

I want my margarita the frozen, slushy kind. Strawberry. And a shot of cuervo to go with

The Cuervo might get rid of that cough... Just sayin' in all seriousness though I really hope you start to feel better soon.

I'm doing pretty good. Just scratching off platform shoes from the comfy shoe list... Back and hips were sore last night!

karaelaine1991

@mellymar I hope you feel better soon! You've had this cold for forever, time for you to get healthy again!

klkonwi

I just begged my husband to go get me donuts before he drives 2 hrs to his job for today....... They are going to fix every ailment I have....... I'm surprised my DH hasn't killed me yet. I'm so annoying!
The best are real Margs with a lot of tequila and just a "little" mix. So a virgin won't taste right !

amabarne

@klkonwi Margaritas!!!! Sangria margaritas....On the rocks.....mmmmm.....

It's flooding here in Lubbock TX. Imagine that! I think my only symptom this morning is annoyance at having to get out and drive to work in a town that isn't designed to handle flash flood waters. Thank God I have an SUV!

I probably slept in 30 minute increments last night. My back feels like it's on fire and I just want to be rubbed. My ears are itchy and I have a sore throat (I'm hoping it goes away and is just allergies). Everyday I worry I'm going to be constipated lol, after my last experience of being constipated a few weeks ago I worry more than I probably need to about it. 5 more weeks, 5 more weeks, 5 more weeks (

karaelaine1991

I usually try to avoid posting my own symptoms more than once a day, but I just got myself out of bed to shower and oh my goodness, my lower back/hip pain is unbelievable this morning. Not only am I sore, I feel super wobbly, like if I shift my weight the wrong way I'm just going to topple over. I think I'm going to have to be very careful walking around today... I guess I can blame this one on the shifting center of gravity?!

aj1327

@mellymar hope you feel better soon! Maybe the doctor can give you something. Keep us posted.

HoosOnFirst

Round ligament pain has returned. Every time I flip from side to side while sleeping... Major discomfort! I'm trying to stretch my torso when possible. I think baby had a growth spurt!

knwilliams01

Hemorrhoids (the bane of my besrest existence considering there's always pressure on them), increase in BH and real contractions - even caught some on the monitor, and just sheer uncomfort. I think my ass is in competition with my belly to see who can get bigger - oh well, DH doesn't seem to mind at all.

T-minus 2 days left of pregnancy. I may be eating everything I want at the moment - as soon as we are settled in the new house DH and I are going on a healthy kick. Gotta eat it while I'm still preggers and don't feel guilty

KonaCoffeeBean

So hard to breathe. Little afraid Im going to die in my sleep.

aj1327

@knwilliams01 are you using anything for your hemroids? I need something that works!

knwilliams01

@amccoy129 just tucks when they are really bugging me. The other things I've found to help is (1) well fitting underwear so they don't bunch up and rub (2) gold bond spray so there's no sweat irritation (tmi I know) (3) colace and tons of water every day.

My hips hurt so bad at night when I'm trying to sleep. It hurts after only a few minutes of sleeping on one side and I have to roll to the other side. How will I make it through seven more weeks?

aliciac2008

My cervix just hurt so bad I literally couldn't move for a minute. And it keeps coming back as I walk around. It feels like I can actually feel the baby sitting on my cervix. Does this sound like Lightening Crotch? 

MrsWiggleWaggle

whoopsie! I guess I missed that this thread got started. I'll close the other.

Waiting on a call back from the drs office regarding meds to take. In the meantime, I'm chilling on the couch - I have some dishes to do, but I'm just so damned tired.

ETA and all this coughing sometimes makes me dizzy.
(All of the above is actually true. But yes, I kid the random thread-sters)

katyertl

I'd kill for some margaritas. One day of binge drinking won't hurt will it?! Ha I kid I kid.

Back pain as always. Braxton hicks happen more and more. And I've been feeling bigger kicks and turns. Yesterday I felt what I think are hiccups for the first time and it was cute and funny at first then it got annoying lol I'm a horrible mom to be

LolaMarley23

LO was very quiet this morning which of course made me paranoid. So I started poking around to wake him up and must have bothered him because now he is punching and kicking like crazy! I guess I am an annoying mom already... But it makes me happy to feel his crazy movements! haha

klkonwi

@katyertl your not a horrible mom. Yesterday I joked to my friend..... "Isn't it amazing that after all pregnancy/these kids do to us, when they come out we love them more than anything and forget all that hate?" That is the TRUE miracle of birth. All that other bullshit about miracle of birth. Please.

amabarne

So I think a sangria virgin margarita is in my near future.....I think I've got this figured out!

klkonwi

Will you share the recipe @amabarne ?

I've always shed an incredible amount of hair and got a nice hiatus for the first two trimesters but now it's begun again hair everywhere...I know sometimes the postpartum shed happens in the third trimester and continues on so I'm not worried but...I'm missing not having tumble weeds of hair rolling around.

ElRuby

Soooo hot and sweaty... Continued pelvic pressure (painful pelvic floor muscles).....

The temp finally went down & it's 54 today. All my windows are open & I'm still burning up even though I'm rocking a tank & undies. Apparently I ate too much yogurt because after finishing it I felt like a turtle & just rolled over on the couch & couldn't breathe. So it was the perfect time to take a nap. I'm so thirsty but can't drink anything because I'm still stuffed from yogurt I ate 4 hrs ago.
Baby had a growth spurt because I'm feeling huge.
Cinco de mayo is my fav holiday because I love Mexican food, tequila, Margaritas, piña coladas, piñatas, yep just everything! But I have no motivation at all to get pretty & go out to eat. I don't even feel like going to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for virgin piña coladas. Starbucks could cure my laziness today but I've been staying away from caffeine. I just can't with today.

My tail bone and hips hurts. Not sure what this kid is doing, but I can barely walk.

katyertl

So had another ultrasound today for size and at 32 weeks she's roughly 3 lbs and she's not growing how they want her too. So waiting on doctor ugh nurse says possible bed rest. Which wouldn't bother me except I have two more weeks of nursing school left this semester and this is my last week of clinical I can not miss it!

amabarne

@klkonwi
Oh I just plan on asking for a virgin margarita with normal sangria (make sure it's wine only and no liquer!) at my fav Mexican restaurant. I've had a glass of wine a few times so far.

klkonwi

Oh! I'm so jealous! Such small town problems that I bet I couldn't order that here. Lol @amabarne

Also.... Am I the only one to not feel BH all the time? I think I've only felt it once.
I'm craving coffee so bad today but it would trigger reflux so no go.

@katyertl praying you don't have to do bedrest! Nursing schools are not very accommodating and it's important that you finish!!!

I'm hoping they will at least be ok with me going to class and clinical. I don't do any heavy lifting in clinical or run around a lot. Plus my instructor for it is pregnant and 2 weeks ahead of me so she's been super understanding about placing me with easier patients. But work I could understand not going to anymore since I have two jobs one bar tending and another serving and I have been having most of my contractions there. Ugh I was not expecting this. Been having such an easy pregnancy so far. Guess I should have been more appreciative of that earlier on

queequeg09256

I'm so freaking tired of having a stuffy nose all the time! I hate it, every 4 seconds I need to blow nose or pee. I'm so annoyed I can't even eat one dang thing without having to stop and blow my nose and there is always blood which just freaks me out. So over it. Also I'm tired of waking up all night long and not sleeping,

finchfeeder80

@klkonwi If I've had any BH, I certainly haven't felt them. None of my NST's have picked any up, either. So nope, definitely not alone on that one. 

knwilliams01

Breech baby --> breathing is not easy especially if I am talking. But only 24 more hours - an OR slot opened up for tomorrow at 3pm. My OB wanted to do it tomorrow originally so LO will be born on 5/6 at 36 weeks.

@katyertl best of luck to you, I pretty much finished my season bartending and serving last week, I'm so glad, I couldn't imagine going farther than this week with all of the scurrying and bending for bottles of beer, etc. I was also mostly having issues when working (weird pains, mad swelling, poor balance, lightheadedness). Hope they let you still go to class and stuff tho!

@klkonwi I haven't felt BH much either. I think I have only recently begun to feel them mildly after drinking the raspberry leaf tea. Which could be me totally playing mind games with myself, for all I know

Finally a call back from the Drs office. Thankfully had one of those nurses who prepare ahead of time, cause she started in with "he says that rest and hydration are the best" blah blah blah "but if its really bad he did give me a prescription to call in to the pharmacy if you feel you need it". And right then, as if on cue - dry hacking cough jag erupts from my throat. And she says "sounds like you need it. Which pharmacy do you use?" I don't know what they are prescribing but hopefully my abs will be able to rest. Bless nurse Kathy, and all nurses, everywhere @klkonwi @dancegurl1118 @katyertl @MrsCaliRN and any other nurses here I have forgotten in my just woke up from a nap fog

teather5

@klkonwi no BH here either...

Thinking of all you ladies!!!
