@gingerbride26 that sounds so scary! Glad baby is looking good and that you seem to be on the mend... Hopefully all of your doctors can get on the same page and work together to figure out what's going. Take care
@gingerbride26 hope you get to go home today! And @zande2016@wildtot I hear you on the cramps. i always get nervous its how my contractions start usually but these days...I usually just have to go poop, lol.
Thanks, ladies. Had a really rough night with major migraine like headache and leg cramps and body pain. Hospital ob woke me up at 530 to tell me he thinks I could be here until MONDAY but my ob didn’t say that when I saw her at 830. Cardio still isn’t impressed and i’m still waiting on echo and gi follow up. Needed a magnesium drip this morning but off Iv fluids and on low fiber solids. Though that means reflux is back lol. Really hoping I can go home today...otherwise we need to tell in laws where I am and what’s going on...
Are phantom smells a real pregnancy symptom? I swear I smell a rancid smell at such random times and it doesn't matter where i am, I get the same smell. It's like a dead animal smell. I smell it in my kitchen, in my car, at work, and currently in the hotel since we are out of town. DS says he smells nothing, and currently we are visiting DH which he says he smells nothing. Anyone who has been at my house in the last week also say they smell nothing, which made me wonder if it's me but I am not convinced seeing as I smell it even mid shower. I mean not concerned at all, it's just odd.
@kbernal2021 I've had a few experiences like this the past week. It literally smells like rotting animal or food. Not very strong, just enough to throw me off. Dh doesnt smell it nor does anyone else in my household. I've done the whole smell everything possible on my body routine (you know, the wipe and sniff). Nothing. I'm chalking it up to random pregnancy smells l.
I am currently in a state of discomfort in the vaginal lower pelvis area. Sneezing brought tears to my eyes. I'm laying propped up hoping this pain goes away however it is EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Never experienced it before. My lower back also hurts, which has been a standing pain for the past week. This vaginal, lower pelvis pain feels like the baby is literally pushing and crawling her way down. I'm a weak ass when it comes to pain, so I complain about the smallest things. This is not small though...may call l & d to ease my ftm mind.
I had mentioned I was still sleeping through the night, well, that's over with, woke up to pee at 5 and it's so hard to get comfortable. We are getting the AC unit today so that's good. One of my biggest 3rd tri symptoms has been that I'm so hot all the time. Thankfully it's cooler this weekend plus with the AC I might be able to be more comfortable when trying to go back to sleep.
Fitbit says I got 7 hours and change but it doesn't feel like it...
@kissableviv welcone to broken sleep. I’m up at least twice for bathroom and at least once for a tums.
ive been on the small side all pregnancy and never felt self conscience about it until a work meeting this week where i interacted with 30+ people i haven’t seen all pregnancy. They all had something to say about size and 34 weeks and how i don’t look 8 months...everyone had an opinion. I asked my OB at my appt Friday if this was normal and he said yea, I’m y’all and proceeded to show me how far up baby was when he did a quick ultrasound to show me. Literally stretched out to u see my ribs. More of a rant, but not sure if anyone else was in this boat and felt annoyed about airside comments.
@And846 yup, me all pregnancy. When I say I'm 3 weeks away people go "nooooo way". Today some guy was literally shocked when I said " you know, with a baby on the way". Lol. I stopped caring as I've eaten plenty a pregnancy, my mom carried small and neither my hubs nor I are super tall so the baby is teensy. As long as we're all healthy, who cares!
Super emotional and irritable right now. H has been doing his own thing (wood hobby) since about 8 am and I’ve been stuck with DS all day at home. Why can’t i get a full day to myself?! I didn’t tell him that. Now the way to the grocery store I’m cramping and very uncomfortable that as he starts to rub my bump he asks how I’m feeling. I say I’m cramping and get gets defensive saying “ok fine i won’t touch you” wtf?! You asked and i responded, never did i say stop touching me.
Okay so I’ve Been dealing with sciatica almost this whole pregnancy, but seeing the chiro every 2 weeks has helped a lot. I’m seeing her tomorrow so I’ll ask her this too, but yesterday suddenly the sciatica pain came back at the end of a long/maybe too active day. But this time it was accompanied by a new pain sort of between my legs...I guess it hurts in my upper inner thighs/pubic bone? And all night I slept horribly because every time I turned over to switch sides the pain woke me up. Now today the sciatica pain is gone but that soreness between my legs is still there. Does this sound like SPD? It’s not severe, the pain is mild but enough to make sleep difficult and not really wanting to walk around much. But I’m scared it’ll get a lot worse.
@zande2016 I’ve been going to the chiropractor once a week and she always checks my inner pelvic/thigh area. It hurts when she does her thing but it helps. I don’t know if it’s SPD related but she hasn’t told me that. She also applied KT tap at my recent visit because of all the pelvic pressure. Hope you get some relief soon! It’s almost over!
I had two intense painful feelings that I was sure was baby movement and position, but stopped me in my tracks for about 30 seconds, then I could walk. Wasn't thinking it was contractions but then it came on while I was sitting about 10 min later, lasted about 30 seconds but not as intense, then went away. Then about 10 minutes later, much less intense I only figured out that's what it was because I had some tightening really low in my abdomen right above my pubic bone and my resting heart rate went up 12 BPM very quickly. Crazy because while its hot and I spent some time outside today, I was super hydrated, I didn't walk nearly as much as yesterday. I don't know if its baby position or not, its right above my pubic bone and kind of feels like baby is going to painfully fall out my vagina while also trying to stretch itself out across my abdomen.
@kissableviv OH! I totally didn't think about that, my mind just went to him being kind of a dick, lol, then directly to contractions. I guess if he was stretched out enough that the flipping would hurt, but I had thought he had been flipping this whole time all over the place so I never thought of that!
I think baby's head must be on my pubic bone in the front. It hurts now every time I get up from sitting to walking around. My next appt is tomorrow so i can ask about it.
@flockofmoosen3 same. My dr said it’s just the pressure of the belly hanging down there. Some days are worse than others.

@gingerbride26 - hope you're home and feeling better! How freaking scary.
Not sure if it's the same pain as a couple of you are mentioning, but I've had shooting pains randomly in the right side of my pelvis through the groin and down the inner part of my right leg. It started last night so badly when I was trying to help get dinner on the table that I started crying in the kitchen. DH jumped in and had me sit down while he took care of everything else.
My doc recommended hot compresses, baths, and icy hot for it. Note to all: if you use icy hot near your groin be VERY careful where you apply it. YIKES!
I haven’t felt any strong contractions since Friday, so I’m hoping my body has decided it was too soon and will keep cooking baby a little longer. I will keep laying on the couch until my husband gets here in 12 days... if baby can wait that long. I am extremely uncomfortable and in a lot of pain though. Anybody else feel themselves getting grumpier every day as they lose more and more sleep? I’m pretty sure when this baby is born I’m going to spend the entire hospital-stay asleep.
Thanks everyone - I'm home! Developed a horrible headache late Friday that stayed until late Saturday which kept me off electronics (tylenol helped but wore off 2 hours before i could take another so I spent a lot of time trying to sleep). I finally got released late Saturday afternoon just as DH and DD came to visit to cheer me up since it looked like we'd be stuck another day. Cardio NEVER came to talk to me post echo and I have an office visit follow up Jul 11 - so I guess I'm not in danger of dying. OB and GI are still not convinced a resting heart rate averaging in the 110s with spikes to 120 and 130 just sitting in bed is "normal" but Cardio keeps saying i'm just pregnant. I'm happy to be home, but I'll admit I still feel like crap. I tried to just sit in the lawn chair and not help much yesterday but still had a spike over 160 going upstairs and saw some floaters in the afternoon but they've passed. Countdown to 7/24 is on, though OB hinted they may move up based on the HR concerns if this keeps up.
@emsnedds sooo grumpy. with everything and everyone around me. My birthday is next week and I usually LOVE celebrating my birthday multiple times with multiple events. This year I'm dreading the one thing we have planned with all the family. Ugh..I just want to float in a pool by myself until baby is here.

Lots of June babies among us moms! Glad you're back home @gingerbride26 but sorry you still don't feel great. @emsnedds glad contractions stopped, I am not cranky and am still in a pretty good mood but I am getting more and more uncomfortable by the day and that doesn't make me happy...
@rachelsogo@gingerbride26 Happy upcoming birthdays! I’m sorry you don’t feel like celebrating! Maybe you can reward yourself afterwards with some much needed floating time.
@kissableviv Yeah, I feel you. If being tired wasn’t a good enough reason to be grumpy, being constantly uncomfortable definitely is. Everyone says baby will be here soon enough, but time is just d r a g g i n g
My left foot, the top part of my ankle (idk if it has a name) has been feeling numb since i woke up today. Didn’t do anything different so it’s a bit odd. It’s not numb to touch but i feel it as I’m walking. Wondering if i should be concerned. No pain associated.
