@ashleyf911 if only it was that easy lol but I did feel that way towards the end with DS! His head was so low!! He dropped at like 34 weeks and my waddle got even worse lol
@BrittnieMariee - hopefully she cooperates after you get some food! Sorry you’re having to worry! @vflux33 - that’s good to know that we shouldn’t accept help getting up! My worst discomfort is when I get up in the morning - I hadn’t even thought about wanting to keep those muscles working.
We finally got to go home this afternoon, but we have to go back tomorrow morning for another BPP to check up on her again and hopefully she cooperates! Will definitely keep everyone posted
I will never forget the creepy feeling of what feels like baby trying to claw their way out of my hoo ha. Yeah, that started again this go around, yesterday. Soooo weird and I’ve never really figured out what exactly the sensation is, but I’ve had it with all of my pregnancies!
@StephBrim24 last night I tried to stay upright and alternated walking, squats lunges, and the yoga ball for three hours after dinner. As soon as I crawled in bed I was instantly nauseous. But I didn’t get sick, so win?
@fatstagnation I meant to post over here originally. It seems the closer I have gotten to 40 weeks both times, the crazier my hormones seem to drive the furbabies. Hopefully your cat stops driving you crazy soon. You can also ask your vet about calming pheromones? Might be worth a shot?
We had our follow up BPP this morning and Emma passed the test within the first 10 minutes! So we got 20 minutes of just watching her and trying to get a clear 3D shot of her face. We got some decent ones but since I have an anterior placenta it was difficult. She has her head crammed as low as possible lol so glad she did better today! She was practice breathing almost the entire time and moved around so much. I’m sure it helped that I chugged a Sunkist right before we went in
@baybeesunflower I am a SAHM and am losing more patience everyday if that counts. DD is testing me to see if I am going to follow through on threats to get rid of things if she cannot pick up afternoon herself.
@baybeesunflower thanks. It was scary. The grip on my boots is amazing but I was unlucky to fall anyhow. Hip hurts this AM. Going to work from home! Don't want to even attempt my commute to work...off balanced and in pain. Baby was pushing my stomach and moving around as usual thankfully. His jabs made me happy.
@nancysimp I'm glad you're doing better that sounds so scary! That black ice is terrible
And count me in the ladies losing patience club. But I'm more losing patience with my insurance company re: my short term disability stuff. I just want answers and I keep getting nowhere. All I know is I've done what I was asked. If I don't get a paycheck in two weeks I'm going to have issues.
@cford08 not good!! I know these things could take so long to process. If you're working with an HR department, I hope they are doing their best to speed things up!
Anyone else losing patience at work? Not sure if hormones or time of year or a combo of both but I'm done! Just do your damn job and leave me alone!!
Yes. Yes. Yes. Everyone is driving me crazy. Plus I can't get comfortable in any position- I just want to lie down all day. And trying to save my patience for when I get home to DS at night

I hear ya! Standing hurts my feet, sitting huts my back and baby boy is so low it also hurts my belly after awhile so I just want to lie down!!! And yes, want to have some good energy for DS!
I definitely am with everyone else on the short patience lately.. which sucks because I start a temp job on Monday to try to get some extra funds before little one gets here. And it's customer service lol. Keep me in your thoughts, ladies.
Feeling so off! Stomach is hard, and very painful. When I lie down I feel better. Baby keeps head butting me. I'm reading so many things, don't think anything is wrong. Doesn't seem to be contractions per what I'm reading. Could be dehydration, I'm constipated too. Very unhappy with this pain. Gonna up my water intake today and fibre.
Re. Leg pain ladies...I'm with you. My hip pain wakes me up. Changing positions sometimes helps, if not I sit up and wait a bit then lie down again. Fun times.
For anyone suffering from leg cramps and hip pain, I highly recommend 15 minutes of stretching a day! Be sure to do stretches that stretch your calves, hamstrings, hips, and back. I can tell a huge difference if I go a couple of days without stretching vs when I stick to it daily.
@StephBrim24 Yes, super swollen and irritated. FFFC? I've been icing mine every night for months...
OK I have a weird one for you guys. I have horrible gingivitis and periodontitis. My dentist and hygienist were like, "oh shit this is going to get way worse during pregnancy so better stay on top of it." So I went to the dentist this week. And it's gotten better. I hardly ever bleed when I floss anymore and I used to bleed every time. My hygienist and I think that the pregnancy may have stabilized my hormones to lessen the gingivitis and periodontitis, which makes some logical sense since I have PCOS. How weird/awesome is that??
What sucks is that if that's the case that means my likelihood of managing this with at home care etc. after the pregnancy is over is pretty small, assuming my hormones shift back to their non pregnant PCOS levels. So yay, but boooooo.
@vflux33 That is weird!! Hopefully it won't get too bad after the babies though. Maybe you will be pleasantly surprised. My weird thing is my lactose intolerance went away when I got pregnant. I think that's not uncommon though.

Is anyone else having trouble breathing/shortness of breath or trouble getting a deep breath? I was at my Drs apt Friday and I explained my recent issues. Those two things as well as nausea, bad headache (sometimes I wake up with it), chest tightening, mild swelling and sheer exhaustion. I reside in a two story house and just getting to the top of the steps I am winded and seeing stars
She's sending me for an EKG and stress test as well as sending out my blood for thyrid check and iron check.
Through my own idiocy I believe that I failed my sugar test Friday (bc I didn't realize I was drinking coffee when I walked into the office)
Disclaimer is that this is my 3rd child. I don't remember this happening before.... my other two are almost 2.5 and 9mo

I had it last pregnancy too...

I’m trying to PT my 3 yo DS and that has used up the last bit of patience I had left.
