Three days straight of serious heartburn. Normally it starts at night but I'm already battling the blaze at 1:20pm. Didn't sleep last night because of it or the night before so as you can imagine I'm a complete delight today. And, to top it all off the Tums that I've been popping so I can survive are reeking havoc on my digestive system (you don't want to know). I'm probably going to call my doctor and get the okay for some more serious meds, I can't keep doing this every day.

Got a sunburn at a staff picnic Friday on my back/shoulders and discovered that because sunburn is not only painful, but also dehydrating, my night-time leg cramps have been ridiculous. Woke up the other night to a double charlie horse in my calves - my swearing woke DH up...

Sciatica...didn't have it with my first two (boys). This one is a girl and she is creating all sorts of drama in the form of symptoms for me.

My neck has broken out in a horrible rash that just keeps growing. So.Not.Cute!

Sciatica is the new one. This weekend my husband and I were walking around in a store and it was a tad bit embarrassing when my knee decided to give out because of the pain from my butt all the way down my leg.

My hands are swelling this week which of course makes my wedding rings not fit. I'm thinking of putting them on a necklace or getting one of those Qalo rings or maybe just both!

I have a cold, though I was pleasantly surprised by the list of meds the Dr said was OK

Hi everyone. In case you missed it, I am new but thought I'd join in where I could. My newest symptom this week is all-over itching, courtesy of what I am pretty sure is a repeat onset of gestational cholestasis. Super fun! Add me also to the all day long heartburn club.

Am I the only one who has a rapid heart rate after eating anything? I'm sitting here after eating lunch and my heart is just pounding and I'm short of breath. This happens after every meal and takes about 30 minutes to go away. I meant to ask my doc about it on Friday and forgot. Ugh!

I read something recently that if you take some tums before bed, that will help.

Magnesium oil rubbed on the bottoms of feet or calves before bed can help. I've also had success with lavender oil applied on the calves at night

I am having awful insomnia and have been for last two weeks ugh!

Indigestion for the last week for me. It's absolutely terrible. It brings back terrible memories of the nausea from the first trimester. Hoping it goes away soon

Left hip pain. Sciatica. Swollen painful hands.

I started to have lower back pain, it shifts between right and left side. Also, It does not matter what time I go to bed, I wake up at 4 am every morning and cannot go back to sleep.

Morning sickness is back with a vengeance. Alongside the back to back Charlie horses at night. Who needs sleep anyways?

I was not sleeping well the past week or so, but we just got a new bed Tuesday night and the last two nights I have slept great and woke up with no back pain, score! 

Acid reflex has been sneaking up, only after dinner though.
