@JamieK1882 I try not too. Just when I'm so over tired and I need a little extra help sleeping and not be congested. my dr said its no harm to me or the baby to take it so it doesn't worry me too much.

TMI but sex is super duper uncomfortable. I feel ridiculously swollen or something and it just seems like there is no such thing as "enough" lubrication...
I have completely no sex drive at all. I've been waiting and waiting for it to return and nothing! I feel so bad for DH but he understands and he said he's good and can wait because he feels awkward LOL. Poor guy.

@sportiegrl1213 I have felt like that my entire pregnancy. My DH also feels awkward about doing it with a baby in there so he doesn't really complain. I feel bad but I also feel like it's not going to be enjoyable to either of us if I have no real interest and he's awkward about it?! Sigh.

@kmolleltz I had that problem for weeks. Now I'm ok during, but my vag hurts for about a day after. So we're still not having sex very often.
@sportiegrl1213 I thought my husband would feel weird about it too, but he seems fine with it. He kind of forgot he can't lay on me the other night and the baby started kicking him. He doesn't like being squished. Lol. I thought for sure it was a wrap and I wouldn't be getting any until after the baby was here, but he just laughed and shifted position.
I'm on the heartburn train, although a couple tums works just fine for me. My back is killing me since I let myself get so heavy pre pregnancy. Still no appetite. But mostly I just feel miserable all the time. Depression is setting in big time. It's getting harder and harder to get out of bed every day...
@ibabyloveb87 it totally sucks, but as long as DH is fine with it, then I am too. I was more worried about him.
@krzyriver LOL that's too funny! Happy you guys still enjoy it!

My butt/tailbone/back hurts from sitting at work. I'm on the computer all day, so I finally ordered an orthopedic memory foam cushion for my chair. Hoping it helps. These 10 hour days are killer.
I keep getting very light headed and dizzy periodically, which used to only happen when I was super overheated. And my left arm keeps falling asleep for no apparent reason. Looks like I'll be bringing this up on Monday at my appointment!
Holy lower back pain batman! If I walk around for more than half hour, my back starts to hurt, if I sit for too long, my back hurts, if I sleep too long, my back hurts. Last night I kept switching chairs (recliner to couch) trying to find relief but nope.
@AllyTheKid My arms too! I'm chalking it up to swelling causing a pinched nerve somewhere; I had a pinched nerve in my elbow a few years ago from leaning on my work desk all the time and this is exactly what that felt like. It's not all the time, but if I hold my arm just right it's almost instant. Then I'll straighten my arm, and it wakes right up again.

@Kaytee1087 That's what I'm thinking too. My legs fall asleep everytime I sit in a chair for any amount of time, so I'm guessing there is just something similar going on with my arm and how I hold it. Mine is really hard to wake back up though because I can't seem to figure out exactly how to hold it to get the blood flowing again or which angle is making it fall asleep?
@TurtleMomma lucky about your sex drive, mine died when I got pregnant and hasn't come back the only time I get off now is if I'm doing it myself just before bed so I can sleep better, and even that I'm not thoroughly enjoying.
My belly is itchy. It's really annoying. I had obstetric cholestasis my first pregnancy so I'm constantly paranoid when I have the slightest of an itch. But I'm 25 weeks so likely it's not that since it doesn't start until late late pregnancy.

It's a mixed blessing, lol. DH has been in a lot of pain lately so he hasn't been up for much so I've had a lot of solo time to get me through. Solo time just isn't satisfying though
I wasn't super hungry for dinner so I ate a little bit and suddenly was really really full and uncomfortable. Now I feel almost crampy, like there's gas that can't get out. Ugh.

Nausea has hit me today for some reason. Not liking this one bit.

Thanks girl @krzyriver. I have no idea. I ate my breakfast and then it hit my like a ton of bricks. Hopefully it passes...SOON. Hope you're feeling better.

@krzyriver and @sportiegrl1213 I'm in on the nausea train. I woke up this morning, went for a short run, drank a glass of water and ate a peach and promptly vomited the peach. Sigh. Now I'm hungry but I don't want to throw up again. Poor toddler doesn't understand why Mama doesn't want to go for a walk.
Acid reflux like crazy today. Usually it doesn't flare up unless I've eaten something to cause it but this morning was just my normal breakfast. I just felt like I had to burp and ended up with a mouth full of stomach acid.

My hormones have taken over my personality and I really don't like it. I have no patience for anyone, especially my husband and daughter. And then I feel guilty about EVERYTHING. So I'm in a constant swing from grumpy and snapping at everyone to sulking and feeling horrible about snapping at the people I love. I'm hoping this is just a temporary thing!
I've had pain in my right hip for several days now. It sucks. I also think this little girl is having a growth spurt because my RLP is flaring up.
On a positive note, all of my apps are telling me my hands and feet should be swelling, but they're not at all. I feel so lucky! I know it will come eventually, but I hate feeling bloated, so the longer it takes, the better.

The bolded actually makes me feel better. The past week or so I've noticed my feet are a little swollen and I've taken to wearing my wedding ring on a chain around my neck because it's tight and uncomfortable. I was worried it might be a symptom of high BP because it feels early for swelling but we are just about to 3rd tri and it is hot as balls out so I guess not.

@MRSCORKER - Yeah, I think swelling is completely normal at this point. Stay super hydrated! I think that helps me keep it at bay. I drink 85 oz of water before I even leave work and probably almost as much during the evening. Yes, it sucks to have to pee all the time, but I'd rather deal with that than swelling.
@MRSCORKER@CopperBoom86 My doctor says some swelling with the summertime heat is to be expected. I think it's the sudden swelling that should be a concern. I had one ankle swell in Charleston, but with an ice pack it went back down and I haven't had any issues since. I haven't worn my wedding rings in a week. I can get them on but they're just not comfortable.

Does anyone know where they're baby is positioned? I am trying to figure it out, but have not the slightest of an idea and don't see a doctor until the 29th. I forgot to ask and they never mentioned it last time.

just had a scan this AM and shes transverse across my belly at my bellybutton with her arms and legs all cuddled together in the middle. essentially punching me in the belly button.

this is the worst... especially when it happens in public

I feel like this might be how my little nugget is positioned. I feel movement everywhere, but more so at my belly button lately.
Anyone else dealing with crippling depression? Ive suffered from depression most of my life, but learned to cope without meds as an adult. Unfortunately the best medicine for me was exercise, which is impossible on semi-bedrest. I need to talk to my doctor at my next appointment, but that's not till the 27th

@piperella I'm with you! I am always trying to walk or change positions cause it's painful
@kmolleltz It is TMI but we are all struggling with the same, it happened to me yesterday and it was not pleasant
On the plus side, my sex drive is through the roof.
