Feeling 99% antisocial. Craving sour cream and chocolate soft serve. Growing a little bit of embarrassingly long belly hair. Still insomnia, so much so that I crash by mid afternoon.
Random bruises and bedtime hunger. Baby wakes up when I lay down for bed. At least tonight was 8:30, so hopefully it's sleeping for the night now.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
I have had a persistent after-taste in my mouth for weeks. Like, it's dry, but there is a bitter taste that will not go away. If I drink or eat something, I get a temporary relief...but otherwise, it's always there.
Sharp stabbing pain on right side of my back near the bottom of what i would call my shoulder blade when lying on my back. Sharp pain on rifht side above ny butt cheek when i carry toddler on that hip. Related? Yeah right? Normal?
@dragonfly87-2 I have had this a ton this pregnancy!! Still don't know what causes it. It thankfully has lessened, but I had it so bad for a few weeks. Bread and sugary stuff makes the weird aftertaste worse. I have mints I like for times I can't brush after eating now.
@dragonfly87-2 I had a weird sour taste in my mouth for about a month in first tri. Like @bannaners, mine got worse after eating anything sugary. I've heard it's related to hormones (standard thing to blame in pregnancy).
@bcashaw not sure if it's normal, but several mornings I have had sharp, stabbing pains in my right shoulder blade. It's not when I am lying down, but just moving about. Sorry I am not help, but I feel your pain (literally)!

This. I just have no patience for people and therefore no desire to socialize. I literally ignore my phone when it rings.
+1 on antisocial and belly hair (which is so upsetting because I already have excess due to hirsutism) I just have this general sense of blah, no energy, no motivation. Everything aches and no matter what I can't seem to avoid puking. Where is the golden trimester filled with that glow and happy happy joy joy.
@kissthesky32 SAME. I currently have the memory of a goldfish. Do you know how many bottles of dishwasher detergent I've purchased in 2 weeks? Four. Everytime I pass it at the store I think, "oh, I think we're out of this." I have FOUR BOTTLES NOW.

Anyone else have the veins in their legs getting more obvious? Mine aren't varicose, I had doc check yesterday but they are much more pronounced. Of course, I'm super pale so that doesn't help. I was concerned because I get a lot of cramping and discomfort in my right leg since I had surgery three years ago and the last two month it's been awful, particularly when laying down (it wakes me up at night). In general I've always had issues with my legs cramping, my Mom tells stories of me waking up during the middle of the night as a child and teen in tears from the pain. I got worried though when I noticed my veins getting darker and more pronounced. So I asked at my appt yesterday and he said it was normal, it may or may not get worse. Anyone else experiencing this?
@jess0211 I'm pale and more veiny everywhere. Now I do have some vericose veins. I also have some back / leg problems that stem from college soccer too, though. That no doubt has made it worse. I also have read that the vericose stuff is genetic / hereditary and there isn't much you can do except balance your sitting and standing or getting laser leg vein therapy, which I'll consider after birth or after I'm done having kids.

Omg the migraines. My dr gave me a Tylenol this morning so I'm having that with a cup of coffee and baby is going CRAZY. I only drink coffee now when I have a migraine so he doesn't get much.
The only positive to migraines is that I get coffee and I usually splurge on something good. Today it's a chocolate/hazlenut caffeine concoction. But for real, pain please go away.
This week I have a tonsil stone ( it is this white thing on my tonsil, got it checked out, it is due to lovely extra mucus), and I have been pretty tired, taking a nap most days. I was doing better energy wise, I am going to try and make sure I am getting enough iron. Allergies are still terrible, heartburn a little worse, but not terrible.
It seems LO is only active when I want to sleep. I should have a pregnancy pillow arriving tonight which should help with my sleeplessness. I've also gotten hairier on my belly and even found a chin hair. AND my veins are also more pronounced and I think I have some that look like varicose veins on my legs (not sure if they actually are).
I've been starving but it's kind of random. I won't be hungry at all and then I feel like I need to eat the whole kitchen. And I cried during a Zillow commercial.
@slaven same here with the starving thing. One minute I won't be hungry, like at all, won't even want to look at food the next...gimme all the food! NOW! I told my doctor this and that's when he said I should snack every 3 hours or so. Also, LO tends to be most active in the morning and night for me. He is almost always moving if I am in the car, not sure why
@ooodalollly I didn't know daily movements lulled our LOs to sleep. That's really cool.
Not sure where to put this, but 20+6 and DH felt movement for the first time today. I ate some fireworks Oreos with pop rocks in them and LO was all over the place!

@bcashaw we listened to baby's heartbeat on the doppler at my appointment today and he ended up moving away from it. I thought it was so cute! "Ugh leave me alone".
@DuchessOfCambridge the other day i was doppling at home and he kicked the doppler so hard it surprised me and i dropped it. I was like, message heard loud and clear.
@DuchessOfCambridge My MIL got them at a grocery store. Price Chopper or Market Basket but I'm sure any larger grocery chain would have them. I think it's a special 4th of July flavor.
With DS I had an issue where when I'd eat the first few bites of something it felt like it got stuck in my throat for a minute, sometimes I'd have to throw up and could resume eating again after. They said it might have been a hiatal hernia and it resolved itself within a month or so of him being born. Aaaaaand....now it's back. Yay!!
I know people hate this topic but I promise not to post pictures or go into too much detail. I just lost a big piece of mucus plug. Is 22w too early for that? Like have any of you starting losing yours that early? I know it can grow back so no worries, I'm just wondering!

No experience other than my early MC, but I'd call your doc.

Anyone else experiencing something similar?
And +1 for a funky taste in my mouth sometimes. I attributed it to.m being dehydrated but nice to know I'm not alone.

I just think it's hilarious/cruel that they start this pattern so early in life.
