@F47 That makes sense- I think I finally just got into a deep enough sleep not to notice ever little urge. @LGW2015 I have tried to be lazy and ignore it, but I can't. I just get to where I feel like my insides are going to rupture and that makes it 100 times more frustrating when I finally DO get up! @ammetko04 Add me to club #eatallthethings
@AllyTheKid and @chriscasey33 well that makes sense. I didn't know they would leak so much so soon! Hopefully that is at least some sort of an inclination that the milk supply won't be awful!
@serenaxo84 thank you! Last growth scan estimated them at 4lb 5oz and 4lb 4oz - that was a week ago!
@allythekid I pee anywhere from 4 - 7 times a night. But, if I take a Benadryl (I've only done it a few nights because DS wakes up a lot at night wanting me and it's just not worth it) I pee maybe once or twice. I think the reason I'm up so much to pee is that I'm sleeping so lightly. If I have to go just a little bit, I'm suddenly awake and just go get it done because otherwise I'll just lay there thinking about it.
But, that little bit of pee wouldn't wake me from a deep sleep.
@F47 4-7 times per night?! I would die. I must be one of the lucky ones on that front because I only get up once at the most. But I'm also known for being exceptionally lazy and holding it because I just don't want to get up haha
this is exactly what I think when I see girls on here saying they get up this often I'm typically a once a night-er too
I've gotten to the point where I pee about 4-6 times a night but I'm almost sleepwalking and can fall back asleep. except around 3am for about 30-45 min for some reason.
i also eat eat a snack then bc otherwise I wake up famished and hangry
@sjo_thetwins fingers crossed that it's a cyst. It would be so great to not have to immediately take your baby into surgery after birth.
Count me in on the "up 5-7 times a night to pee" club. It makes getting enough sleep really difficult.
Speaking of pee... today I sneezed so hard that I peed. And not just a little. Then I started wondering if you can break your water by sneezing really hard. I'm hoping the answer is no. The answer is no, right?
Add me to the list that can't breathe. It's terrible. I sit cause my feet hurt, but can't breath. So I stand but my feet and pelvis hurts. Can't win over here today.

@sjo_thetwins, so sorry you and your precious have to go through that. Hopefully its just a cyst.
I second the sweating. Especially at work when my hair is wet from.sweat.
I'm surprisingly not a frequent flyer to the bathroom at night (or morning since i work thirds). I empty my bladder before i lay down and usually don't have to pee til i get back up. however, when i do get up i have to basically sprint to the bathroom to keep from wetting myself. There have been more unfortunate events than I'd care to mention.
@LauraPCOS oh NO! I gave up on the wrist wrap too and now use K Tape. It's been helping but the pain is just too much sometimes. I don't want to go get it checked for nothing, but I'm thinking I just might because something has got to give!

I am itching all over my body. It started last night so obviously the first thing I did was google it. I read terrible things and I'm freaking out now. I'm pretty sure I've made it worse and that some of it is just in my head now. I can't decide if I should call my midwife or not. I need to know that you can be itchy all over and it not be something terrible.
@ignoscemihi I was thinking about that a few days ago, because I sneezed and got my undies a bit wet at work... my guess will be no... but who knows pregnancy it's all about going against biological rules hahaha
Every evening this week, around the time I get in the shower I start feeling terrible. Usually cramping like if you're going to <TMI> have diarrhea. It kind of comes and goes, but I'll rush to the toilet and nothing happens. Usually I can get in bed with a bunch of pillows and it eventually subsides. I think I'm constipated, so it could be that. But I've also been reading that some BHs can be like this. I have an appointment today so I'll bring it up, but it's been so weird.
Those with carpal tunnel - I've been dealing with it pretty severely since around week 16. The braces at night really help me, but they can't be too tight. Yours should be adjustable. It took a little while to get used to, but now I don't notice them. My dogs know it's time to get up from the velcro sound when I take them off in the morning.

Add to me to the list of peeing 5-7 times a night! Which is awful because before I was pregnant, I literally NEVER woke up to pee at night even though I've always been a light sleeper. However, last night I only woke up 3 times to pee and it was magical.
@MorganL925 I need to get me some properly fitted braces - right now I'm just using wrist guards since usually my problem is that I bend my wrists and tuck them under me, causing loss of blood flow, but ya that's not what's happening this time. It seems my swelling is mainly in my fingers and joints so I'm not sure how well a brace would work anyways.
@sportiegrl1213 I'll try the KT Tape, hubby bought some for his shoulder so we have it in house, just need to find a video.
@Nichole06 actually my friend just went through this. She was due Sept 6th, but had a c-section scheduled for the 2nd because baby was breech. She started getting super itchy, especially her feet. She called her dr who had her come in to monitor the baby for 20 minutes and do bloodwork to make sure it wasn't a sign of liver issues. Long story short, apparently the series of bloodwork wasn't going to be back quickly enough so they just pushed up her c-section a few days to be safe. I would call and let your MW know just to be safe. It could totally just be the heat and stretching making you itchy, but better to be safe! Even if it is a liver issue, I believe it's one of those things that resolves itself with birth, like GD, so nothing too serious to worry about as long as you get checked out!
@LauraPCOS - do your braces have a hard splint on the underside? If not, that's what you need. I can link to what I bought on Amazon, but I think you're in Canada, right? So it might not work.

@LGW2015 Thank you. I did go ahead and call my midwife. I have a lot of allergies and I was in a really hot place for a few hours yesterday so we are going to try some Benadryl and a shower first. If I'm still itching by lunch time then I am going to go in for labs to rule out a liver issue. I have been really fortunate with a smooth pregnancy so far but for some reason I'm really nervous about this.
Kind of a gross, TMI question, but here goes. I remember being very constipated with my first - to the point of getting hemorrhoids. Yesterday and today have been pretty much the exact opposite. Not to the diarrhea level, but pretty close. I've read that can be a sign of early labor (though it's not clear how early - could be weeks or could be a day), but my husband thinks it's because I have a cold. Can anyone relate? I've got an NST and BPP this afternoon, so I'll ask if it's still going on, but thought I'd throw it out there on the board first.
I just feel like ass these past 2 days... I hardly left my bed yesterday and today, sitting at my desk I can literally just close my eyes. Work is gonna suck for the next 6-7 weeks!! I don't know how I'm gonna do it.

@ignoscemihi... I've actually had the same issue the past couple of days. No clue why, but I'm not having any other labor symptoms so I'm not worried. Are you having any other concerning symptoms
@ignoscemihi I did hear that as well but I've had the same thing as you pretty much since the start of third tri. Not diarrhea but much softer than usual. I consider myself lucky that it's that way and not constipation/straining! Hoping it stays like that through post-labor so it makes the first poop not so painful!
@bnsmith85, @LGW2015 and @kmolleltz thanks for the reassurance. I have been having contractions, but I've had them for weeks now and I had them with my first. They were a little worse most of the night last night (slightly painful), but never steady. I'll ask this afternoon when I go in. Can't hurt, right?
@MorganL925 yea it has the hard splint that goes from just above my wrist (so my palm) to just under my wrist. When I have them on, I can't bend my wrist at all - I can wiggle but not bend. Literally these were what I bought when I decided to take up rollerblading again a few years ago, but because I need my hands to work, I bought wrist guards just in case (safe to say I tried rollerblading twice and was so freaked out I never did it again).
My tailbone is flaring up bad today. I keep taking my laptop to my bookshelf to stand and work, but my feet get too tired after 15 minutes. So, I'm just up and down.
Thanks ladies! Blood work is done and could be back tomorrow or Monday. We discussed some very minor things that could also be causing this so I feel better. We just have to rule the big stuff out.
As for the poo cramps- I had those with LO, and although it wasn't a signal for labor for me, they did correspond with an increase in frequency and intensity with BH.
