So now I have some weird skin-colored bump sticking out down there. I have been feeling it in the shower but unable to see it so today I used a mirror to check what it was. I don't know what it could be but it doesn't hurt really or anything.

Awkward TMI question, but do you mean vaginal or rectal? Because it could be the early stages of a hemorrhoid if it's near the anus. They don't tend to hurt at first because it's just a bulging/veracose vein until you get any clotting in it. Baby starting to settle lower can cause them because of the increased pressure. If so, Prep-H and Tucks (witch hazel) wipes are likely to be your best friends for the next couple weeks, unfortunately

It's definitely not a hemorrhoid. It's on the labia.

I have something similar but it's dark-colored like a blood blister. Could it be a skin tag?

I've seen hemorrhoids that are that came color....like a blood blister.

I just looked those up after seeing this. That might be it! It sounds like those don't go away on their own and you have to get them removed. Oh dear...

At least you can't see it!
@fourtsixand2 hemorrhoids are either inside the anus or protruding from the rectum, we're at a different hole entirely.
My classiest symptom yet... This rectal pressure is ridiculous. Not hemorrhoid type pain, but low baby pressure type pain. Sitting down is slowly losing its appeal
My feet, ankles and legs are so swollen! My legs look like tree trunks. It awful! My thighs feel swollen too, I can't even cross my legs anymore. I bet I lose a least 10 pounds or more of just water weight. Just 3 more weeks till my due date, and 4 more weeks at the most (my Dr wont let me go past 41 weeks). I hate wearing pants and shoes now. I just hope my feet go back to normal, none of my shoes fit comfortably right now. They are all too tight.
So I've have bright yellow discharge off and on for a few days now. I didn't think anything of it because we are supposed to have an increase. Well I just googled it and four pregnancy websites said to immediately call your Dr. Oops... Guess I'll be doing that in a minute >.>
Forgive me if this has been asked in this thread already... there are so many pages to read through.
Anyone have trouble with urine leaking right after you pee? After I go and feel like my bladder is empty, I will have urine dribble out after I walk out of the bathroom. Freaks me out every time, because I wonder if it's my water breaking....plus it's gross. Lol

Panty liners are not just for vaginal discharge anymore. Makes me sad because I hate wearing underwear.

So I have had this for about a month now. I actually suggest using pads for leaking bladder over period style liners. I was using the regular liners and ended up getting a bacterial infection regardless of changing them way more often than recommended. My OB said to try the other kind because they are specifically for urine leakage and they hold it differently than a period pad. They also absorb discharge better to me. @runningwild@AmadorRose
I went to sleep last night with bad back pain and figured it was just from a long day, I'd go to sleep and everything would be fine. I was up all night with period like back aches and still in bed because of the discomfort. I have my shower today, so have no choice but to get up and start getting ready. Going to take 2 Tylenol which I've been trying to avoid and hope it helps. I'm secretly cursing my grandma for being a snowbird and not wanting to come up any sooner so my mom could throw me a shower. I'm 35+5 and exactly 30 days from my EDD
I've had stomach cramps immediately after I eat, and then diarrhea too, for the past 3 days and it came out of nowhere.
I don't think it's food poisoning, because DH and I eat the same things and he's fine.
I asked my midwife and all she said was "your internal organs get shifted and smooshed during pregnancy"
Gee. Thanks.
So im guessing (hoping) it's just a 3rd tri symptom
I've had the same thing for the past week or more. Ugh.
This has happened to me as well. I think that it has something to do with the amount and type of food that I eat. I now space out food into smaller meals so I don't eat too much in one sitting. I also avoid overly spicy foods. This has helped me with the dreaded diarrhea.
I read that the excess discharge is our body's way of preventing any infections (so it pushes out everything) and diarreah is out body preparing for labor. Really has nothing to do with what you ate or whether you were tired. The NP said you'll just feel like sth was off after the meal and may have the runs even if you ate the same thing as the person next to you.
Loose, disgusting smelling stool. All of the time.
The compression socks have stopped working. I now get leg cramps on even while wearing them. I may just need to up the compression up.
At night my hands get so painful and swollen. During the day they're fine.
Back contractions on top of BH. They like to mostly concentrate on my right hand side. They've been so bad and constant that I now have a knot in my back.
My eyes hurt. It's been so bad that I had to toss my last pain of contacts. Thankfully I have an eye appointment the 8th to get more and see if pregnancy screwed up my prescription like it did with DS.
Can dropping F-bombs like a cursing queen be a symptom? Seriously, it's become my favorite word and I feel 100% terrible about it because DS hears me swear WAY too much... He's in the "repeat anything" phase, so I'm worried that's his next "bad" word. So far daddy has taught him dick and bitch. My SIL taught him tits, since she only asks my nephew if he wants tits versus asking if he's thirsty/wants milk.
How can you get heartburn from bland food?
Headaches.
Murderous rage.
The sex dreams... They've gotten weird. I usually don't have sex dreams about people I know, but the other night I had a sex dream about someone I kissed when I was 14... We're currently on good terms and occasionally talk, so it made waking up from the dream really awkward.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I have been in a desperate want to help people out.
I can't eat a lot at once. LO beats up my stomach and makes me want to puke it up... So I have to eat meals in shifts.
Lightening crotch likes to happen when I'm looking for parts at work. Thanks.
Major hair growth. When I went in for a hair cut yesterday, the stylist was able to see the difference in my hair since I got pregnant... I guess I've been growing a ton of hair on my head this entire time.
Anyone else experiencing very uncomfortable sex? We have tried various positions and it's really uncomfortable comparable to the feeling of an UTI during and then after I'm fine. I sent a note into my doctor to ask. Didn't know if anyone else is experiencing the same. I've never dealt with this before

@JulienneNicole Thanks so much for this tip! I've been feeling like I have a yeast infection coming on and I bet that's the reason why.
What were your symptoms of bacterial infection? Is it like a yeast infection? How did you treat it?

It doesn't seem to matter how wet anything is downstairs--it always just feels really tight and swollen. My nether region is generally just uncomfortable, so that may also be a contributing factor. I also can't handle clitoral stimulation for an extended period of time, which actually upsets DH. This is the complete opposite of how pregnancy sex was with DS... I remember pregnancy sex being incredible because of the extra blood flow.

Yes, it hurts me very badly.
Yeah, sex isn't happening much in our house. I don't know how to get comfortable.
My pelvis has been bothering me since 28 weeks. I had to stop walking since the pain gets worse after exercise. If I sit too much starts hurting. Pain 24/7 and the baby hasn't turned yet, she loves sitting ..

Usually, BV smells a lot worse but the only way to know for sure is to go to the doctor. If you think it's BV and it's actually YI, the wrong treatment will make the problem worse.

I used to get frequent YI and I've had BV quite a few times as well. The symptoms are practically identical. Like, I haven't found a discernible difference between the two until diagnosis.
@fbanke42 yes! Ditto here. DH was getting frustrated because he's trying to be sweet and make things better and everything is just uncomfortable any stimulation is not ok for me right now because it all hurts. With my three prior pregnancies it was 100% opposite. Sex was fantastic couldn't have been better. This situation is frustrating for both of us. One more month to go.
@JulienneNicole good lord why did I not think to just use a dang pad? And one that is specific to leakage. Didn't cross my mind. I've been using liners and changing them periodically which is a pain. Great tips in knowing that it could lead to an infection. Don't want that to happen for sure Glad someone posted on this. It's been helpful
Sorry TMI but omg I'm so over being so gassy. One reason I'm grateful I'm on bedrest alone. No change in diet just all if a sudden for the past week or so.
Has anyone else had an increase in appetite? I haven't had much of one third tri, but these past couple of days I'm waking up during the night starving.
Has anyone else had an increase in appetite? I haven't had much of one third tri, but these past couple of days I'm waking up during the night starving.
Wait... You guys aren't eating around the clock for no reason??? Full bag of Cheetos, almost a pound of sliced cantaloupe, bread w/cream cheese, and a chobani flips yogurt after dinner tonight... I need the baby to come so I can control myself again >.<

LOL my first trimester I was always hungry and needed to keep snacks with me at all times when I was on the go. My second and third tri I haven't had much of an appetite or cravings. I woke up last night craving the left over cake from my shower that's in my fridge
Has anyone else had an increase in appetite? I haven't had much of one third tri, but these past couple of days I'm waking up during the night starving.
I've started to get a tiny one just recently after wanting almost nothing to do with food for most of my pregnancy. Mostly I'm ravenously hungry in the morning.
Yes! I've been the same way, except first tri I was ravenous too. I fill up quickly too which I'm contributing to everything being squished inside. I'm just secretly hoping this lack of appetite continues throughout the remaining pregnancy and after LO arrives
