Thank you everyone. I'm terrified to go to the hospital. I don't want to stay there, but it might be best. So much to get done at home, but that can always wait until I get back. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again for the love ❤
@ottergirl81 Take it easy, my goodness. Stuff to do at home can wait, or someone can help you with it. Take care of yourself and LO right now. Let us know how it goes.
I know a lot of people have had leg cramps, but muscle spasms are my new one. I have been having back pain and sciatic pain, but now a muscle in my thigh has been spasming. I assume it is because of the sciatic pain, but who knows. I don't remember this from last time.
My calf muscles are tight. I think it's just from not being as active as i used to be. They don't hurt much at all, unless i stretch my legs, and then OW! lol...
I started using magnesium spray at bedtime and it has helped the leg cramps so much!
Lots of craving for sweets. I've been really having trouble with that so I'm trying to combat it with fruit and homemade pumpkin bread (at least it's homemade...)
Food is STILL HARD. I thought it would get better in the 2nd tri but nope. It's not a specific aversion but nothing sounds good at all!
Is anyone having nighttime cramps in their feet not their legs? The band of muscle around the front of my foot arch and the top of my ankle keeps seizing up and it is fantastically painful. I have a history of ankle injuries, so I'm assuming that's why it's popping up there and not in my calves like a normal person?
@ryannenikole - luckily most of my aversions are FINALLY going away...but what i've realized since starting to eat "real" meals again...i have no appetite! example, i used to be able to eat an entire burrito bowl and some chips and salsa at chipotle. recently DH and i went, and i got a veggie bowl, and i could barely get through a 1/3-1/2 of it before i felt completely stuffed! So, DH has gone from being worried that i'm not getting the right nutrients to being worried that i'm not eating enough at all...
@caseyw8784 & @ryannenikole eating gets so weird during pregnancy from my experience. Near the end it was so frustrating because I'd be so hungry and eat a little bit and my stomach would feel full because there was no room left, but I'd still feel hungry. At that point food turned into constant snacking.
@auntieraindrop me! I felt a couple of them while I was showering yesterday. I usually get leg ones if I drink alcohol and not enough water and also during pregnancy but I just started getting foot ones.
Completely agree on the smaller meals. Up until a couple weeks ago I was eating everything in site, and getting the side eye from DH, now I'm getting a double take from him at dinner when my plate doesn't come close to getting cleared. I just don't have the room!!
Hello everyone. Update: Admitted to hospital today after having a big bleed this morning at home. I'm on constant monitoring now for bleeding and for baby's heart and movement. Nice to be able to hear my baby all the time, but not fun being in the hospital. They are preparing to deliver early if need be, I am currently 23 weeks +2. They want to keep me pregnant as long as possible, and I'm just fine with that. Soooo thirsty and not allowed to drink anything. So much has been said and done today, I'm still trying to process it all in my head. Thank you for the well wishes, thoughts and prayers☺
Take good care of yourself @ottergirl81. I know how hard it is to be in the hospital, just take it one day at a time. Prayers that you keep that LO baking
