I have one of those pregnancy body pillows, and at first I loved it. It kept the pain away 100%. But now I get way too hot when I sleep with it, and then I can't get any sleep! (I need it coooold to sleep)
So, I went back to sleeping with pillows between my knees, and the hip and back pain is just ridiculous. I have to slowly roll out of bed. I feel so old.
I feel like at this point, there's no way to win
H bought me one for Christmas and it was ok at first, sort of too bulky. I use it when he is out of town, but I find it uncomfortable if we are both in the bed.
We decided 34 weeks was a good time to start some big reno projects in our house, so we are without a TV room/sofa, so I watch TV on my laptop in bed instead. It's comfy for that purpose (I kind of make a little throne) but i can't sleep with it anymore.
I'm 35 weeks today and told DH last night that there are absolutely no more new projects until after LO gets here. He just re-did our laundry room (more like a laundry closet) and has to re-do the lights in there because of the shelving we installed (and are still working on technically...). I nearly started crying yesterday while doing laundry because 1) I can't reach the bottom of my top-loader washing machine anymore and 2) it was dark in there, so I couldn't tell if I had gotten all the clothes out or how much soap I was using. It was just a mess...

Yeah, it wasn't our wisest decision, but it honestly hasn't been that terrible. Neither of us do well with disorganization, so that has been the hardest part. That, and the dust. But overall, it could be way worse.
Yes to the heartburn! While I don't get it frequently, when I do get it I swear I can breathe fire. Also wtf to this random hemorrhoid that decided to show up?! Go away! Sorry, tmi but it's really uncomfortable
After having braxton hicks contractions on a regular basis for months now, lack of sleep, leg cramps, and the baby awake all night kicking you in the constantly full bladder Hearing someone gripe anout a hangover and period pains makes ya wanna lose your mind..
Re: There is no misery quite like....
My ankles swell "just because" these days. It doesn't matter if I've been on my feet all day, or taking it easy. This is some kind of bs.
And what's up with the pubic pain?! It feels like I just got a Brazilian wax (I wish), and it comes and goes. I don't know what causes it.
I can't even describe it
