Hungry!! I've tried the recommended "small" meals and snacks approach to not feel bloated and overfull... and I do feel better, but I feel like I'm eating constantly!
@kjd291 I just put this in last week's thread but I guess I should copy and paste...
I am a bottomless pit. I swear I'm always hungry. It's gotten to the point where I don't even believe my stomach. I don't remember being like this with DS until maybe the end. I'm dreading stepping on the scale in a couple of weeks lol. My aunt reminded me that I am growing a baby after all, but STILL! I feel like I'm growing an entire defensive line!
Nesting totally started...maybe it's because we started clearing out the room that will be nursery, combined with gender reveal this coming weekend, but I feel like the littlest speck of paper on my coffee table will drive me nuts! We're trying to be way more tidy so that when baby is here it's not a huge shock to us. lol
Also - on the hungry all the time bandwagon! I am so excited about the menu for our gender reveal that I HOPE for leftovers!
And - the hair! I feel like I'm growing a beard here. I need to pluck every day.
Definitely getting back aches at end of the day, specifically up by my shoulder blades. Also on the bottomless pit train. I ate two lunches today, and I feel NO shame.
The other thing I'm noticing is that after I eat a full meal, it hurts right underneath my rib cage in the middle. Not sure if it's my stomach being full and pressing against the ribs or what. Not as bad if I eat smaller meals, but you know... hunger... haha. Anyone else experiencing something similar?
@npaulie Yeah, I am noticing some pain underneath my right boob (rib cage area) after a large meal and it's worse when I have a bra on. Pretty sure it's belly pushing on things since I have a non-existent torso and there's already not much room for it to go. I'm only just past the halfway mark, gah. I'm sure aches, pain, and things being awkwardly pushed aside and in and out are just starting!
@AandDM2014 Backaches are a thing now for me too. Mainly middle and upper, sometimes lower but it's in conjunction with higher aching.
I'm hungry constantly, and the hangriness comes out of nowhere. I will be chilling out, happy as a bumblebee, and suddenly I NEED FOOD OR I WILL DIE. On Saturday, I had this plus my very first bout of hot flashes, which made me feel momentarily breathless and fatigued. Really fun. DH was grumpy, because he was gaming and I demanded a PB sandwich RIGHT NOW. Luckily he stopped questioning me and got me my damn sandwich. Little does he know it's why he's still alive today. jk... It was a tense 2 minutes though!
This week I'm still having really bad rib pain.. which will not go away until birth unfortunately.. achy back here too after a long day.
I'm still SO tired. This I'm sure is because of my low iron..not sure how that's doing because they haven't done bloodwork in a long time.
Oh and on a positive note.. baby movements regularly every day! Well mostly at night but it's consistent now! Kicks to the bladder mostly.. which DD never did so that's new.
Tired and hungry! Feeling baby move on a more consistent basis. I saw the baby actually move on my tummy, which was exciting. I've been trying to get DH to feel it, but baby gets shy

Here too! There have been a few times where I can see it send as soon as I call DH over, all movement stops.
Headaches, hunger and hip pain! Averaging a 2 day headache about ever 2 weeks or so.. so hungry all the time but when I eat too much I feel so sick and full like I could pop.. the hip pain is horrible, it makes a popping noise every time I move and hurts. Lovely isn't it?
I bring snacks to work to eat throughout the day, and 99% of the time end up eating all the snacks before lunch. The hunger is real. Also noticed just this week my socks now leave a tiny indent when I take them off, so its seems I swell a little over the course of the day.
Still. Puking. Sooooo over that. Once a week I go a night without my Diclectin to see if just maybe I can stop taking them. Nope.
Heart palpitations at night. Had these with DS as well. Sore back, exhaustion.
But my appetite is finally coming around and lots of strong kicks and movements are happening. So I'm smiling !
Ugh!! I still need the Diclegis too. I also broke one of my PSI bands and I was hoping I wouldn't have to buy new ones, but not the case. I've basically resigned to the fact that I'll have to wear the bands and take the Diclegis for the full 40 weeks to feel somewhat normal.
Sore and winded! and lately I've been having restless legs at night that make it almost impossible to sleep on top of not being able to get comfortable with my big belly.
Add me to the insatiable hunger list and acid reflux list. It's such a catch 22-I get so hungry and then don't even feel like I can truly appreciate the foods I'm eating because I know they are going to cause me pain later with heartburn! I also get a stuffy nose at night. And I feel extra whiney lately, in case yall couldn't tell that part, hahaha

Anyone feeling pressure really low in their uterus? All day I've had this pressure... not really cramping or RLP I'd had previously. idk if this is what it is, but it almost feels like he's curled up as low as he could be and is pressing down on everything. It's like a really dull ache. Surely it couldn't be the baby dropping already?
@npaulie maybe he's just sitting weirdly like you say. I'm not feeling pressure necessarily but like my uterus is expanding faster than my poor stomach can handle. I feel so much larger than I did the first time, it's kind of getting me down. People keep asking if I'm due any day
Speaking of getting down, my hormones are out of control. I was never like this with DS but DD is making me a sap. I cried at an Allstate commercial. Allstate for God's sake they usually crack me up! I'm losing it here folks...
@npaulie, I've felt some of that pressure too, but it comes and goes.
My legs suddenly swelled up a ton over the last day or two. No ankles, tight skin. I am on work travel eating out every meal. Hope it's just sodium retention, not something I get to have for the rest of my pregnancy.

Make sure you are drinking enough water. Seriously shoot for a gallon a day (that counts other drinks like coffee and juicy foods like fruit).
My boob leaked yesterday. I really wasn't expecting that until the very end of pregnancy. I had to dig out some of those boob pad samples that I got when I registered at Target and BRU. I'm just thankful it happened at home and not at work or in public! @Happyhiker I hope you're swelling goes away soon, but if not, maybe bring that up to your doctor just to be safe!

Braxton Hicks. Which makes me think I have to pee NOW. My backaches happen in the morning right when I wake up, excited to go back to the chiropractor tomorrow. Also noticed my RLP is better after I go, too. Other than that just the usual. Pretty sure yesterday baby was facing my spine and laying weird because the only place I felt the kicks/punches were... my butt. Feels like twitching from the inside? Did a few yoga moves to try to get him to move cause that is the WORST.

FTM stupid question: Can you tell when your boobs leak, or do you just notice wetness? I feel like the girls are getting primed for something. I've been wearing removable bikini top pads inside my bra to cover my large nipples (don't judge; they work like a charm and I didn't have to spend an extra dime lol) but am curious if I'll have a head's up before noticing fluid. And no worries, once they do start leaking, I'll switch to the appropriate padding.

In my experience you don't just start leaking fluid like you would think. You start with colostrum which is a little thicker. When I started "leaking" first pregnancy I didn't even realize it but started seeing a residue in my bra. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on. It didn't soak through or anything.

Agree with this, the first fluid is thick, so sometimes I would just see the crust from when it dried. I also am feeling the tingling in my boobs every so often like the girls are getting ready to do some feeding.
I feel like I have some brown crusty stuff on my nipples right now- I have had it for awhile actually. I guess it could be colostrum?
Could be. My nipples are starting to dry a little or something and discolor. I forgot this happened before until I saw it again. Pregnancy does weird things in weird place. haha

Ewwwww. brown crusties!? tmi
jk! Happened to me last time and this time too! I never looked it up or asked anyone else. Just assumed it was the colostrum that started to ooze the teeniest bit and then dried. I took a warm wet facecloth and with a little gentle persistence cleaned the crusties away!
@dubcompanion I did not notice any crustiness or thick stuff. I just looked down and saw a little wet spot on my T-shirt. However, I was at home and was not wearing a bra. It wasn't a lot, so it could well have turned into crusties if I had been out of the house and actually wearing one. IDK, maybe everyone's bodies do it differently.

@kjd291 haha is anything TMI on this board? That is what I have been usually doing- taking a wash cloth and cleaning them off. Another beautiful part of pregnancy that no one talks about it seems- add it to the list!!
Re: Symptoms - Week of 11/7
Also, heartburn. It's a vicious cycle! But I can't complain too much, I've had so much energy and have been "nesting" up a storm lately!

I also feel like my stomach is just going to pop. It feels like there is so much pressure pushing outwards, especially after eating. Ugh!

Acid reflux is so bad though. It's up in my throat almost all the time.
