Thank you all! I've been feeling all of the emotions. I spent the last half hour bawling about my son not being an only child anymore, but I'm so excited to meet her, too. Gah, hormones.
Acid reflux, weird numb/tingly/painful spot under my boob, joint pain, stretch marks, back ache, peeing every 20 minutes, headbutts to the cervix, swelling.
@jkh89 I've been getting a foot under my left rib (below my boob) since I started feeling kicks. It often goes pins and needly/ numb and when I asked my dr about it he said it's normal because of the pressure/ pushing on the nerves. He said if it's constant to let him know but if it comes and goes it's just the baby pushing on the area and not to worry. Hope that helps!
@WVUPetunia Best wishes for a smooth and safe delivery!

@jkh89I have a numb/painful spot under my right boob. It hurts when I wear ANY type of bra now. Unfortunately I'm working until I go into labor so I pretty much have to wear a bra. FML!!
Yesterday evening I had 2 hours of excruciating waves of back pain with mild cramping that tapered off after awhile. Woke up at 3am and it was even worse. Tried walking around, drinking some water, going pee and still ended up doubled over in my bathroom in tears. At 7 I called L&D and the nurse said it *could* be early labour and to come in if I wanted to, but to try some Tylenol and a hot shower first. So I called out of work and did what she suggested. I ended up sleeping from 8 until 10:30ish and now have no back pain with just mild cramping. Wtf body. At 37+3 I'd be happy enough to go into real labour and now I'm just frustrated and feel stupid that I took the day off and got my hopes up. Blahhhh.

That's what's been going on with me. They said I could come in, but at this point I've had three days like this! I'm 35 and 1/2 weeks but my doctor thinks that I'm actually two or three weeks ahead of that and really said any day now. This is REALLY uncomfortable though.
@rlopezlavalle it's so frustrating! I can't imagine 3 days of this, you must be wonder woman. I almost want the pain to come back so I feel more justified/ get this thing moving.
@lucy2113 I think my Ovia app just said to expect a decrease in amniotic fluid and that's the reason you can see so many more baby movements right now.

I saw that too but when I went in today for my US they told me it has increase from 14 to 23 over the weekend. I can't find a whole about it being normal or not.
@lucy2113 I don't know what an increase in fluid means but the ultrasound tech I had on Thursday said that between 5 and 25 is normal levels. So it sounds as though you're still within normal range.

Yeah, I go back and forth between laying in bed like a lump and getting up and doing things around the house because I feel so stuck. Hopefully things progress one way or the other for both of us because this is not pleasant! Good luck!
I am an emotional wreck today. I can't handle this shit anymore. I'm ready to feel like me again instead of an exhausted blob that cries or rages at nothing
@lucy2113- do you have GD? I know that it can happen because of that, but not otherwise. If they didn't seem concerned then I would trust that all is ok. If you're still worried, can you call the nurses line (maybe tomorrow when the office is open) and ask them about it? I hope it's nbd!
I think I've officially hit the point where my body is just like, "why did you do this to me again so soon?!" I never felt this way with DD... This pregnancy is throwing me for a whole new loop.
@lucy2113- my dr explained to me that extra fluid was the main reason they did another ultrasound besides growth. She said that the extra fluid can push the baby up and if it were to break, they worry about the cord pro lapsing. I don't know what's considered normal versus extra, so definitely ask your dr. But like I said before, if they didn't seem worried, I wouldn't stress over it!
