Ugh DD is killing me. If she leans on my stomach it feels like my uterus is trying to exit my vagina and it is so painful. It's more of when I get and elbow or knee from her, not if she just lays with me, but it freaking hurts.
@SarahFoley725 Ugh yes, toddlers are not nice to pregnant mommas! DS crawls all over me and I get elbowed and kneed everywhere it hurts the most.
Speaking of, the boob pain is back with a vengeance. I think I got a small break because I quit breastfeeding early in this pregnancy so they were already big and crazy, but now they’re gearing up for round two and it is super uncomfortable. This morning the pain almost felt like a plugged duct and I started to get pre-breastfeeding anxiety, the first few months were killer for me last time. Ahhhhg

nightnurse92 - My BH feel like waves of tightening. I've started noticing them recently, which is unusual because I didn't notice them much until 7+ months with my others. I seem to get them when moving positions and in the evening. I've had contractions that manifest like BH, so it can be a challenge trying to distinguish the difference later in pregnancy.
alemarie1 - My eyes felt extremely tired (couldn't keep them open and they felt irritated) last night and had bouts of lightheadedness. I'm also congested and sneezing a ton. Not sure if it's related to a cold or pregnancy rhinitis. I woke up feeling fine. I drink nearly a gallon of water a day, so it definitely wasn't dehydration, and my glucose levels were great and I'm not spilling protein. I have to watch for pre-e signs as I'm high risk. I was definitely keeping an eye on developing a gnarly headache.

@olitwinturbosnprincess FWIW after sex I get a gush of fluid that is clear and wet, not like discharge. Anywhere from a few minutes to an hour later. ETA it happens whether pregnant or not!
Me too.
Also - I think I've been having BH contractions. I can't be sure because I have no idea what I'm doing, but it seems similar to what you all have described. Strange feeling.
Those who have experienced/are experiencing SPD, how would you describe what it feels like? I'm having a lot of tenderness in my pelvic area (feels like I've either been kicked in the crotch, or done a ton of hip adductor exercises, which I decidedly have not done), and wondering if it's the beginning of SPD or just normal pregnancy aches. None of the pulling/popping sensations that I've read about, but wondering if anyone's started with just tenderness/soreness?
Gah! I saw my doctor today and mentioned that I've been having these odd coughing fits, mostly when I lay down at night. They're inconsistent, but when they do come on, I gag or choke and can't catch my breath. Plus, coupled with shortness of breath, the combo has her sending me for an EKG and echo of my heart as I have heart issues to begin with (have a pacemaker and on meds to prevent racing heart).

With my son I had it. It felt like my pelvis was grinding on itself. I would feel a popping sensation in my hips when getting in bed, stand, sitting which was associated with incredible pain. I also had pain in my pelvis/hips (def not muscular) when walking by the end of pregnancy.
i am also having some adductor pain now, it feels like Post exercise muscle soreness. It does not feel at all like the SPD.
Thanks @GoogleMD, super helpful. What I'm feeling is more like post exercise muscle soreness, and none of the grinding or popping. I'll chalk this up to normal pregnancy discomfort.

I wasn't too worried about it before, but now...
@ldawngirl781, I've been having bad coughing fits as well, but it's weird because they aren't all the time. It's like a bronchitis cough and it sounds awful. I hope your cough gets better soon, I'm sorry to hear that it's causing breathing issues.
+1 for coughing fits. Mine are mostly in the morning, as soon as I get up, or related to heartburn. DH is really concerned about them, not because I sound like I’m dying, but because they wake him up
